==Campus==
The campus is located at cuncolim, Madgoan approximately 29 km south-side of Panaji, the capital of Goa. The state of Goa is well connected by roadways, railways and airways with various parts of the country. The permanent campus, an area of 300 acres, spanning from Cuncolim to Balli, was identified by the state but the project ran into trouble when locals objected to the proposal as 50% exclusive reservation was not promised for Goan students. The former Chief Minister of Goa, Mr. [[Manohar Parrikar]] reiterated that no land will be given to the institute if 50% reservation is not provided for Goan students.<ref name="TOI Mar 31 2012">{{cite news|last=Shetye|first=Murari|author2=Malkarnekar, Gauree|title=No land for NIT Goa without 50% reservation|date=March 31, 2012|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/No-land-for-technical-college-sans-50-quota-for-Goa-Chief-minister/articleshow/12476141.cms|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103094842/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-03-31/goa/31265796_1_goans-goa-engineering-college-manohar-parrikar|url-status=live|archive-date=January 3, 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=2012-05-02}}</ref> The Government of India finally decided to reserve 50 per cent of the seats exclusively for Goan students in the National Institute of Technology, Goa from academic year 2012-13.<ref>{{cite news|title=50% of NIT-Goa seats exclusively for local students|work=[[The Navhind Times]]|date=June 28, 2012|url=http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/50-nit-goa-seats-exclusively-local-students|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120630025255/http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/50-nit-goa-seats-exclusively-local-students|archive-date=June 30, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Gauree|last=Malkarnekar|title=Land trouble finally over for NIT Goa|date=July 1, 2012|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/Land-trouble-finally-over-for-NIT-Goa/articleshow/14560058.cms|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103204229/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-01/goa/32494097_1_nit-goa-goans-manohar-parrikar|url-status=live|work=[[The Times of India]]|archive-date=January 3, 2013}}</ref>
