More than 600 students took admission to IT BHU, in this year’s intake. A major concern among them was the grant of IIT status to BHU. This, apart from granting students the access to an IIT grant, would also lead to increased funds from the Central Government.
Furthermore, the change would attract more students to the college, leading to a shift in the current trends, where top rankers prefer IITs over studying at IT BHU.
Recently and Executive Council meeting, with representation of BHU in both the academic and executive councils, passed the proposal for IIT BHU. This news comes as a promising development and as a definite precursor to the award of IIT status to IT BHU.
