\nThe objective of the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Bill 2010, passed by the Lok Sabha in March 2011, was to provide IIT status to eight new institutions.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Bill sought to amend the Institutes of Technology Act, 1961, which governs the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The primary purpose of the 2010 amendment was to integrate eight new centrally funded institutes of technology into the fold of the IIT Act, formally designating them as IITs. These were the new IITs established across different states during the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012).
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe eight institutions that were granted IIT status through this amendment were IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Rajasthan (later IIT Jodhpur), IIT Patna, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Ropar, IIT Mandi, and IIT Indore. The Bill was passed by the Lok Sabha in March 2011 and subsequently by the Rajya Sabha, becoming an Act.
