BIT is based in Chandigarh, which is 200 km�s north of the Indian capital, New Delhi.  Chandigarh also called The City Beautiful, is a city in India that serves as the capital of two states: Punjab and Haryana. However, administratively, the city is not under the jurisdiction of either state, it is administered by the federal government and hence classified as a union territory. Chandigarh, the hub of the North West, is emerging as a major Information Technology Centre. This is largely due to the vibrant character of the City which provides a very desirable quality of life due to its pollution-free environment and excellent facilities for health, education, transport and entertainment. The Chandigarh Technology Park is a unique planned Park. It combines large green campuses with state-of-the-art buildings. It is in the process of becoming the premier destination for software companies in the Information Technology sector.
