Indian Institute of Technology Goa

The Indian Institute of Technology Goa was set up by the then Ministry of Human Resource Development in 2016 and began functioning on 30 July that year. An amendment to the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961, passed in August 2016, brought it under the Act as an Institute of National Importance. The institute still works from the Goa College of Engineering campus at Farmagudi, Ponda. Its permanent campus is planned at Bandora village in Ponda taluka, and in September 2026 the institute invited architectural consultants to master-plan a site with 115.15 acres of developable land.
