Why is IT-BHU now referred to as IIT BHU?

IIT BHU used to be an engineering course under the administration of BHU and was known as IT BHU. In 2012, the government granted IT BHU the status of an IIT. Since that moment IT BHU became IIT BHU, the sixteenth IIT of this country. The primary reason for the establishment of IITs was to promote research work in our country. IT BHU had a big contribution to research going on in India. Although IIT BHU still shares the same campus as BHU, it is a different institute. Being an IIT has brought many changes in IIT BHU. It is receiving more funds from the government. The research work has also boosted. Many state-of-the-art research equipment has also been brought into the college. So, that is the reason why IT BHU is now referred to as IIT BHU.
