Jaipur: Congress leaders have at last converged to settle their discrepancy over the site to be chosen for setting up an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Rajasthan.
"Jodhpur is the deemed location for the IIT while Udaipur will get the IIM", said an official from the Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry.
According to sources, a five-member HRD ministry team, headed by Ashok Thakur, the Additional Secretary in HRD Ministry, is expected to arrive in Rajasthan today to authenticate the anticipated IIT-Rajasthan and IIM sites.
"Although, the Ministry has already decided on the locations, the committee's visit is only a regulation", the sources added.
A brawl among the Congress leaders as well as with the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) over the location has been an impediment for classifying a site for IIT-Rajasthan, which has been operational from IIT-Kanpur.
Rajasthan was the only state out of the seven proposed new IIT states where the issue was still pending to be resolved.
Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh and Former CM Vasundhara Raje had already announced the upcoming of the IIT in the state.

IITs, engineering colleges may start joint counselling
New Delhi: In order to ensure that engineering seats don't fall vacant after the selection procedure is over, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and other leading engineering colleges have started "informal discussion" for initiating common counselling.
The process of allotting students' seats is popularly known as counselling in engineering colleges. Currently IITs take students through Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) and others through an All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE).
"The Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry is keen on such a proposal. There was some informal discussion as well," an IIT director told sources on Thursday, while requesting anonymity.
Authorities said the effort will solve the problem of a number of seats going vacant after the selection procedure is over. Many students seek admission to more than one institute as they sit through separate counselling in quest of the best institute.
The director said that this does not mean that JEE and AIEEE will merge. "It's all about keeping the counselling a single affair to reduce seats going vacant."
On Wednesday, all IIT directors had a meeting with HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, who had assured them that their demand for a better pay packet will get due attention.
"We are not going to divulge any details right now. But for sure, we are happy," the director added.
IITs across India had staged massive protests in their campuses and had taken mass casual leaves to highlight their demand last month. IANS
