As per the official website, the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) Varanasi owes its existence to Bharat Ratna Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, the founder of the first residential university of modern India. Engineering education in BHU started in 1919 with the establishment of Banaras Engineering College (BENCO). In 1968, the erstwhile engineering colleges of BHU, namely BENCO, MINMET, and TECHNO, were merged to form the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU). IT-BHU became IIT (BHU) Varanasi on June 29, 2012, by an Act of Parliament.
