Officials of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, will visit a site at Jhajjar in Haryana to explore the possibility of setting up its extension campus in that state.
 
Prof M Balakrishanan, Deputy Director of IIT, Delhi, told reporters here, "We are still not sure how feasible or suitable the site is going to be. We are visiting it and we do not know any other details regarding the site."
 
Haryana government had proposed a 100-acre site at Bahadurgarh and the government was offering the land free of cost to the institute but now a new site is being shown.
   
The proposal to expand the campus of IIT, Delhi, has been hanging fire for quite sometime.
 
Haryana recently got institutions like Indian Institute of Management, a central university, a National Defence University and Central Institute of Plastics Engineering and Technology. The state has 21 universities and about 1,286 institutions of higher education.
 
The proposal to set up a second campus of IIT-Delhi in Haryana was cleared by the IIT council on Wednesday. The proposed 'Extension Centre', spread across 100-acre, would have advanced research facilities.
