IIT Goa was established in 2016, but since then it has been functioning from a temporary campus at the Goa Engineering College, Farmagudi as the Goa government has not been able to provide land to set up a permanent campus. About two batches have graduated from IIT Goa without being able to study at the permanent campus.
