Hello friends, It must never be forgotten that IT-BHU takes students exclusively only through IIT-JEE.. Not only it is the largest institute in Asia (area wise) , it is the first indigenous technical institute of india established way back in 1916.. Roorke was established by Britishers and IIT during initial days were supporte extensively by other countries. Infact in initial days if IITs would have not got so much money from govt and support from institute like IT-BHU, BEC, Roorke then it would have been impossible for IITs to fetch so much respect. As far as NITs are concerned, only 2-3 are in a respectable position are are below OK or "just OK".. What is the standing of Silchar, Hamirpur, Srinagar, Surat, Allahabad, Raurkela etc. These institutes not long ago and till now have more than 50% reservation. In MNNIT Allahabad thay had 50% horizontal reservation and 33% girls reservation.. That is rediculus. That's why even though I (amd most of my batchmates) were getting CSE at these types of NITs but we prefer not to join such institutes where such a HUGE reservation is there and not long ago they were selecting students from only State Engg. Entrance Exams.

You are right. IT-BHU deserves to be called an IIT because the students it admits have passed the same stringent entrance exam as those at the other IITs. If IT-BHU fails to become an IIT while other colleges acquire that label, I would personally be very surprised and disappointed.
