IT-BHU,varanasi or IIT-varanasi???


IT-BHU one of d all tim best tech-schools of india hasn't been made an IIT though it has been part of d IIT-JEE system since 1972. after my 1 yr stay here,i wud say it really deserves 2 b an IIT.though its drawbak has been its infrastructure,but i bliv there is a serene touch in d rusty buildings of IT-BHU.its not lik d IITs, 5or6 storeyed sky-scrappers,but d buildings r more or less lik d ancient forts or palaces which in d archaeological eye wud b an art of beauty.those who hav studied or studying here know that this institution will find its name in d all time top 10 classic tech schools of india.but d main problem is with d outside world.i'm not talking about people associated with education n technological field bcoz they know wot IT-BHU is. but i'm speaking about d otherwise literate common people. large percentage of d common people know wot d IITs n BITS,pilani is,but i dont know why many people dont hav a notion about IT-BHU.

I think d main problem is dat our insti. doznt hav enough media coverage.likewise d IITs alwaz hold d limelight,in this way i bliv IT-BHU gets suppressed. n i bliv dat we r alwaz given secondary treatment wen compared 2 d IITs,though we come through d same entrance xam. if i'm correct we r generally termed as d perennial underdogs.i think in 1972 itself we should hav accepted d IIT tag n should hav been IIT-varanasi.but somewhere in my heart i still want it 2 b a part of BHU.bcoz if it bcomes an IIT,it wud bcome autonomous n wud b separated frm BHU.it's synonymous to snatching a child frm d mother.i dont want dat 2 happen either.but i'm on d verge of dilemma,wot should b IT-BHU's fate? should it remain IT-BHU,varanasi or it should b renamed as IIT-varanasi?so, this is a complete fiasco of d name game.i think furthermore all d students of IT-BHU will not go by d shakespeare saying "wotz in a name???"....
