Goa Government had identified land for permanent campus in Guleli village panchayat in North Goa's Sattari sub district, measures approximately 320 acres, has been approved by Union ministry of human resources development (HRD).

Prior to this, sites at Canacona and Sanguem were identified, but plans to set up the campus in these places were scrapped after resistance and opposition from local residents in both these areas.

In August 2020, the residents of Melauli organized a particularly unique protest, tying rakhis to the trees that the government had marked for felling for the proposed IIT Goa project.

Located at the foothills of the Western Ghats, the land is covered with cashew trees that the villagers claim, have sustained them for generations.

As such, they have been demanding that the government find an alternative site for the IIT campus, which will not cause as much loss to the environment.

Also, the students actively participate in events hosted by other colleges like in WAVES organized by BITS GOA, Saavyas by National Institute of Technology Goa, Happenings and Spectrum by GEC, Mood Indigo by IIT Bombay etc.

There are many Intra-College events organized by the students, a sports dedicated intra-college fest named "Chakravyuh" and a sports-cultural intra college fest named Flock in the nascent years of the institution.
