About Institute
Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi (IIT-BHU),
formerly known as Institute of Technology, Banaras
Hindu University (IT-BHU), is a public engineering
institution located in Varanasi, India. Founded in 1919
as an integral part of the BHU, it was designated status
of IIT under The Institutes of Technology (Amendment)
Act, 2012 passed in Parliament. IIT (BHU) has 13
departments and three interdisciplinary schools.
Admission for undergraduates is through the Indian
Institute of Technology, Joint Entrance Examination
(IIT-JEE), an annual college entrance examination used
as the sole admission criterion by the sixteen IITs.
IIT-JEE is considered to be a highly competitive examination as reiterated by the fact that it has a very low
admission rate.
Admission for postgraduate courses is though Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) for postgraduate courses.
Beyond Academics
Three fests spanning over 4-5 days draw huge sponsorships, are fully organized by student body.
TECHNEX, the annual techno-management fest incorporates challenging competitions, innovative workshops and lectures by renowned personalities.
KASHIYATRA, cultural extravaganza of the year makes
the campus of IIT (BHU) completely transformed into a
place buzzing with flurry of activities.
SPARDHA, the all India sports festival of IIT (BHU) generates a lot of enthusiasm in campus where students
from different colleges compete in a total of 18-20
sporting events.

About School
Curriculum Overview
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field,
integrating two dynamic professions, Medicine and
Engineering. School of Biomedical Engineering, with
its consistent research accomplishments and long
tradition of cross-discipline collaborations, represents
an ideal environment for biomedical engineers.
th
School was established by UGC, India during the 5
Five Year Plan in 1978 while undergraduate program
started in 2006. Being an integral part of Banaras
Hindu University, school benefits from having collaborative research with Institute of Medical Sciences
situated in same campus.
