INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BHILAI Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (IIT Bhilai) was established in the State of Chhattisgarh in the year 2016. Its emblem in violet colour is a hexagonal shaped enclosure housing an expanding globe with its kernel. Mathematically, the hexagon has six sides - what makes this particular shape so interesting is that the hexagonal shape best fills a plane with equal size units and leaves no wasted space. Hexagonal packing also minimises the perimeter for a given area. With this structure, the pull of surface tension in each direction is most mechanically stable, which explains how bee honeycombs are hexagonal, bees make their honeycombs with circular units, but thanks to this surface tension, the end result when the wax hardens into place is hexagonal. This shape also resembles a set of six entities holding together. This is ensconced by a circular border with its name in Hindi and English.
