The campuses of the eight new Indian Institutes of Technology, established in 2008 and 2009, won’t be complete by the 2012 government deadline because of land-acquisition and inflation problems, reports the Hindustan Times. These new elite engineering schools have been functioning in temporary facilities.  The opening of the branches had been criticized as a bad idea because of the severe faculty shortage across India. At the seven older institutes faculty shortages range between 20 and 30 percent.
