IIT BHU Varanasi

The Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) owes its existence to the farsighted vision of its founder Bharat Ratna Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. Initially, three engineering and technological institutions were established namely, BENCO in 1919, MINMET in 1923 and TECHNO in 1932. The first-ever bachelor degree in Ceramics, Electrical, Mechanical, Metallurgy and Mining Engineering and Pharmacy in India were pioneered at this institute while Pharmacy was the first in Southeast Asia. Later, BENCO, MINMET, and TECHNO were merged to form Institute of Technology (IT-BHU) in 1968. In 2012, IT-BHU was converted into an institute of national importance; Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi.
