==History==
IIT (BHU) Varanasi has formerly been known as the Banaras Engineering College (BENCO), the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET), the College of Technology (TECHNO) and the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU). Its establishment is intimately linked with that of the [[Banaras Hindu University]] (BHU). The first convocation ceremony at BHU was held on 2 December 1920.<ref name="History of BHU">{{cite web|url=http://www.bhu.ac.in/Centre/history.html|title=History of the University|publisher=Banaras Hindu University|access-date=4 October 2011}}</ref> BHU has the credit of first starting degree classes in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Metallurgy and Pharmaceutics, thanks to the foresight of its founder, Pt. [[Madan Mohan Malaviya]].
[[File:Dept of Electrical Engineering IIT-BHU.jpg|thumb|left|Department of Electrical Engineering IIT(BHU), Varanasi]]

The Department of Geology was started under BENCO in 1920. Courses in Mining and Metallurgy were introduced by the Geology Department. The Department of Industrial Chemistry was started in July, 1921. In 1923, Mining and Metallurgy were established as separate departments and in 1944, they were raised to the status of a college forming the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET).<ref name="History of BHU"/>

[[File:IIT_(BHU)_2019_stamps_of_India.png|thumb|IIT (BHU) commemorated on a 2019 stamp of India.]]
In 1968, BENCO, TECHNO and MINMET were merged and the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU) was established integrating the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil and Municipal Engineering, Mining Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Technology, Silicate Technology and Pharmaceutics. The Department of Silicate Technology subsequently became the Department of Ceramic Engineering. A Department of Electronics Engineering was also established.<ref name="History of BHU"/> The departments of Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics and Applied Chemistry were established in 1985.

The earlier system of regional admission based on merit lists was replaced in 1972 by admission through [[Indian Institute of Technology Joint Entrance Examination]] (IIT-JEE) for undergraduate courses and [[Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering]] (GATE) for postgraduate courses. In the tenth meeting of IIT Council in 1972, it was also proposed to convert the then IT-BHU into an IIT and a committee was appointed by IIT Council for the purpose but because of political reasons, the desired conversion could not be achieved then.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iitsystem.ac.in/IITcouncil/minutes/Minutes-10-Meeting-of-IIT-Council.pdf|title=Minutes of 10th Meeting of IIT Council|work=iitsystem.ac.in|access-date=8 August 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150117234832/https://www.iitsystem.ac.in/IITcouncil/minutes/Minutes-10-Meeting-of-IIT-Council.pdf|archive-date=17 January 2015}}</ref>
