It seems you visited BHU some 15 yrs ago, Nothing of this sort happened in past 10 yrs or so. FYI - Birla hostel was divided in three parts and they no longer have time to waste in these activities. Moreover, when you talk about IIT status, IT-BHU has nothing to do with all this Birla and Rajaram hostels. Based on Academic environment, Quality of teachers, Entrance criteria, Research scholars, Research papers and projects, BHU is far better than most of the universities in India (let alone AMU), so please refrain from comparing BHU with every tom, dick and harry...
