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.
  • Google Start-up Weekend, FMC Weekend, and IIT(BHU) Modern United Nations are being held every year. Also, TEDx is being conducted whenever possible.
  • The campus now has not only Internet access but also numerous WiFis.
  • A huge marketplace developed nearer to the “IIT side” of the campus.
