Campus
IIT Indore's permanent campus is spread over an area of about 510-acre (2.1 km2), on 17 February 2009 at Simrol, a location about 25 km from the city of Indore. However, construction was delayed for more than three years since a major portion of the land was not cleared by the forest department.IIT-Indore is still operating from the rented campus at IET building for which union ministry of human resources and development had sought extension till 2015. The reluctant Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya(DAVV) had permitted the institute to run from IET till December 2012 but had to consider letter of union ministry. In April 2012 it was announced that the land was transferred, along with funding, and so construction is soon to begin, expecting to be completed by 2015.
