This section discusses the
IITization issue; whether and how to convert ITBHU into an IIT. You are invited to comment on articles or submit your own to the
editor. We will post all submissions that identify the author with full name, branch and year of graduation, such as "Joe Alumni CSE88".
In an effort to keep this site focused on issue of IITzation of IT BHU we would be moderating this section. On a regular basis, we would be moving all constructive suggestions to the respective entries and purging all the unwarrented comments.
We would also like to request the alumni who feel strongly for their institute and its alumni organization to volunteer for this site. Please visit the volunteers section for more information.
Thank you!

From IT to IIT
ITBHU.org Editor @ 01:54 PM
This article is a submission from Yogesh Upadhyaya (CHE77) who is from the first batch admitted to the Institute through JEE. Yogesh takes us back in time and provides insight into how the Institute was perceived back then, and how it became part of the IIT system, but not quite ...

A frequent personal reaction from many attendees was how come ITBHU, part of the JEE system for decades, is still not an IIT while Guwahati and Roorkee were created/incorporated into the IIT system?
