Talk:IIT (BHU) Varanasi

Student life section
Can someone please edit the student life section? There are so many lists there. It looks clumsy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navneetiitv (talk • contribs) 01:00, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

– To harmonize WP page title of IIT (BHU) & IIT (ISM) with the current page titles of the 21 other IITs. Also, these names are as per IIT system's official website's homepage. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk&#124;contribs) 13:54, 3 February 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi → IIT (BHU) Varanasi
 * Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad → IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
 * The second request [Indian Institute of Technology (ISM) Dhanbad] redirects to Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad. Someone needs to make a correction. Sawol (talk) 01:54, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * My bad. I was having a bad day. Thanks for noting, I have fixed it now. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk&#124;contribs) 15:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support for consistency and per the arguments at this analogous RM. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:19, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

IIT Varanasi or IIT BHU
The institute is referred to as IIT-BHU as per the following sources, so please adhere to the same name. Thank you, User4edits (talk) 15:25, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Ministry of Education, Government of India
 * Institute itself
 * Council of IITs
 * INSTITUTES OF TECHNOLOGY (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2012 (No. 34 OF 2012)


 * if the full name is gonna be there then I'd suggest using brackets around Banaras Hindu University. ie Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) Varanasi (IIT-BHU)
 * Also Banaras Hindu University is NOT the parent institute of IIT-BHU, neither is IIT (as its not a institute as such), both have separate administrations/funding, despite being located in the same campus Criticic (talk) 08:23, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi (IIT-BHU)
 * This is the most suitable name as the official government act, that turned IT-BHU into IIT BHU uses this name. Criticic (talk) 08:27, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Kindly refer https://iitbhu.ac.in/administration which details the administration of IIT BHU, no person of BHU is even on the BoG. Criticic (talk) 08:30, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * While the Varanasi is there for standardisation among other IITs, I don't find the need to repeatedly write Varanasi as the same is not used in official terms, and IIT BHU is enough. User4edits (talk) 09:31, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, IIT-BHU, IIT(BHU) or IIT BHU can be used interchangeably and freely as WP:RS use all three. User4edits (talk) 09:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
 * yes iit bhu is fine, I meant in the opening paragraph Criticic (talk) 09:33, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
