<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>IIT Bombay, established in 1958, was the second <a href="/facts/Indian_Institutes_of_Technology/ytm1MuBU">Indian Institute of Technology</a> to be founded. Its establishment was supported by <a href="/facts/UNESCO/QSbkRv3o">UNESCO</a>, with funding provided by the <a href="/facts/Soviet_Union/m7wWsPto">Soviet Union</a>. The proposed site for the institute, allocated by the government of <a href="/facts/Bombay_State/qTMMg9eD">Bombay State</a>, was <a href="/facts/Powai/VcIyvPGQ">Powai</a> in what is now <a href="/facts/Mumbai/BdoEc10R">Mumbai</a>, then known as Bombay. The institute's first batch, composed of 100 male students, commenced their studies in a temporary facility in <a href="/facts/Worli/4pJbQpUP">Worli</a> during their first year due to the construction of the campus in Powai. They graduated in 1962.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>On 9 July 2018, <a href="/facts/Prakash_Javadekar/B62Ucj9I">Prakash Javadekar</a>, the <a href="/facts/Minister_of_Education_(India)/fg2QsNTJ">Union Minister of Human Resources Development</a>, announced that IIT Bombay would be granted the status of <a href="/facts/Institutions_of_Eminence/VQnAV2pp">Institution of Eminence</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> The decision came into effect on 11 October 2018.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="campus">Campus</h2> <p>The 545-acre IIT Bombay campus is located between <a href="/facts/Powai_Lake/5mlLYXKH">Powai lake</a> and <a href="/facts/Vihar_Lake/r11GYsvG">Vihar lake</a>, roughly 15 kilometres away from the <a href="/facts/Chhatrapati_Shivaji_Maharaj_International_Airport/t6kRmjqG">Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> The institute has a total of 18 hostels, of which three hostels (Hostels 10, 11, and 15) and a wing of the newly constructed hostel (Hostel 16) are for female students. </p><p>Due to its proximity to the <a href="/facts/Sanjay_Gandhi_National_Park/Eh7PNv0l">Sanjay Gandhi National Park</a>, the campus has enjoyed significant green cover.
