The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi owes its existence to the farsighted vision and relentless efforts of the founder Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya ji who created the first comprehensive residential university of India. Three engineering and technological institutions were established viz the Benaras Engineering College(BENCO) in 1919, the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET) in 1923, and the College of Technology (TECHNO) in 1932 as the constituent units of Banaras Hindu University. The first ever Bachelor degree course in Electrical, Mechanical, Metallurgy, Mining, Ceramics and Pharmaceutics in India were pioneered at BHU while Pharmaceutics also being the first in Asia. After country’s independence in 1947, post graduate and doctoral research programmes were also introduced here. The three engineering colleges were merged to form the Institute of Technology (BHU) in 1968. The erstwhile IT(BHU) has been converted into IIT(BHU) Varanasi wef 29th June, 2012. Since then IIT (BHU) is witnessing realization of several significant academics, research and developmental programmes and new initiatives in all spheres of the Institute.
