Permanent campus status in Mid-July 2023. The vlogger says it would take another 2 years for completion. My guess is that by 2024 August most operations (student and faculty housing, teaching, research, administration) would move to the new campus and some final touches will continue after that. As per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jtoKejt...l=AnonymoA all BS-MS students have shifted to the permanent campus few months back, and the 2023-24 batch will start living in the permanent campus.  BS-MS classes are also being held in the permanent campus. Labs have not completely shifted yet.

Following is an excerpt from https://odishabytes.com/iiser-berhampur-...in-odisha/ 


Quote:IISER Berhampur Looks To Further Popularise Science & Research In Odisha
CAMPUS BERHAMPUR
By OB Bureau On Jul 26, 2023

Berhampur: Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Berhampur will organise outreach programmes in interior areas to popularise science and create interest among young minds on scientific studies and research as themes related to National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

... IISER Berhampur Director Prof. Ashok Kumar Ganguly at a press meet here on Wednesday.

“We have advanced research in various fields and sophisticated equipment worth crores of rupees. We have already purchased equipment worth Rs 200 crore since IISER Berhampur was established in 2016. We will spend a further Rs 150 crore towards purchase of heavy equipment in next two years for making it a truly global institution. We are working on advanced research on material science and physics, material properties, semiconductor properties, solar properties, flexible solar cells and many others. We are also working on earth science to identify, analyse and investigate minerals through remote sensing,” Prof. Ganguly stated.

... The basic tenets of NEP 2020 model have already been incorporated in the curricular framework of the 5-year integrated BS-MS programme. Transdisciplinary credit framework is the novelty of IISER Berhampur curriculum, where students can earn credits across different subjects, Prof. Ganguly said.

For example, a student pursuing a major in Physics may opt for a minor programme in Biology, he explained. Similarly, students of Earth and Environmental Sciences can opt for Biological Sciences.

The director's profile at https://www.iiserbpr.ac.in/index.php?cat...d=director says: "Dr Ganguli is very keen to promote outreach activities for underprivileged sections of society and has visited remote schools and colleges in several states in the country." This explains his focus on outreach. This is excellent.
