IT(BHU) got converted into an IIT in 2012. The institute has seen many changes since then. A few major ones have been listed as below:
There is a new administration, which is directly influenced by the MHRD.
The processes of recruiting faculty is more thorough and therefore, newly recruited faculty are better qualified as well as equipped for teaching.
There is now a proper course structure to be followed, with each course having a more rigid curriculum. The academic calendar is taken more seriously.
Exams happen twice - one mid-semester and one end-semester instead of the CT’s and final exams.
There is a new 75% attendance rule. Assignments and projects have become a major part of many courses. The concept of relative grading has been introduced.
There is a much more functional Training and Placements Cell, along with a new Entrepreneurship Cell. There are also new start-up incubators. Placements have seen an obvious major boost.
Many new departments have been added - the latest being Architecture. Also, department fests are taken much more seriously.
More and more students are enrolled each year into various departments. This has also resulted in the construction of new hostels and increasing room occupancy of some.
A new library has been built and a new student activity center is being constructed.
Many new councils and clubs have been introduced.
