With the plan to setup eight more IITs in the states of Bihar (Patna), Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabad), Himachal Pradesh, Orissa (Bhubaneshwar), Madhya Pradesh (Indore), Gujarat (Gandhinagar) and Punjab (Rupnagar), and the conversion of IT-BHU to an IIT, the total number of IITs will be increased to 16."
