About IIT (BHU) Varanasi
Before most IITs were conceived, engineers were already graduating near the Ganga. Founded in 1919 by Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya as Banaras Engineering College — 75 students, 2 departments, 2 hostels — this institution predates the IIT Act by over three decades [¹ ²]. It ran as the Institute of Technology, BHU from 1968, earning the IIT designation only in 2012: over a century of engineering history, barely 13 years as an IIT [¹]. The 425-acre campus sits inside Varanasi's vast 1,300-acre BHU grounds, minutes from the Ganga ghats. The 1928-vintage Limbdi and Rajputana hostels still house students today — walls that witnessed World War II and Independence [²]. Three fests anchor campus life: Technex (Asia's oldest techno-management fest), Kashiyatra (the socio-cultural extravaganza), and Spardha (one of India's biggest inter-college sports fests, held each odd semester) [³]. Alumni include Deepak Ahuja (former CFO, Tesla), Nikesh Arora (CEO, Palo Alto Networks), Jay Chaudhry (founder, Zscaler), and Varun Grover (National Film Award-winning lyricist) [¹]. A century of engineering. One IIT badge. Wear it.

FAQs about IIT (BHU) Varanasi
How long does delivery to IIT (BHU) Varanasi take?
IIT (BHU) Varanasi is located inside the Banaras Hindu University campus, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh — PIN 221005. Orders from our Mumbai and Bangalore fulfilment warehouses typically arrive in 5–7 business days. The IIT campus is within the larger BHU complex, and BHU has its own security gates; couriers may be held at the entrance. Always include your full hostel name, room number, and mobile number in the shipping address notes so the courier can reach you directly — e.g., 'Limbdi Hostel, Room 214, IIT (BHU), BHU Campus, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh – 221005'.
When is IIT (BHU) Varanasi's Convocation, and should I order merch in advance?
IIT (BHU) Varanasi consistently holds its Convocation in October. The 12th was on October 6, 2023; the 13th on October 28, 2024; and the 14th on October 16, 2025 — so mid-to-late October is the reliable window. We recommend placing your order at least 2 weeks before Convocation day. Standard apparel ships in 5–7 business days to Varanasi; custom prints with department or batch text need an extra 3–4 days. For bulk graduation-group orders, write to us 3–4 weeks ahead to be safe.
Do you sell official Technex, Kashiyatra, or Spardha merchandise?
We are not an official vendor for Technex (Asia's oldest techno-management fest), Kashiyatra (IIT BHU's annual socio-cultural festival), or Spardha (the institute's flagship sports extravaganza). Our IIT (BHU) Varanasi collection is year-round institute-themed merchandise — campus-life tees, Ganga ghats-inspired prints, hostel-name hoodies — designed for students and alumni who want to carry the spirit of Varanasi's century-old engineering college beyond any single fest season. For official fest merch, check the Technex, Kashiyatra, and Spardha committees directly on their respective websites.
Can I place a bulk order for my hostel, department, or batch?
Yes. For orders of 15 or more units, write to bulk@iitianvibes.com with your institute (IIT BHU Varanasi), quantity, preferred design, and deadline. Bulk orders have a 10–14 day production lead time plus shipping. We offer custom neck labels and packaging for large batches, and per-unit pricing drops significantly at scale. We regularly fulfil orders for hostel councils, department clubs, sports teams, and batch reunion groups.
Can I get my hostel name or department printed on the merch?
For bulk orders of 15 or more units, we can add your hostel name (e.g., 'Limbdi', 'Rajputana', or any of the 19 hostels), department abbreviation (CSE, ECE, ME, CE, Chemical, Ceramic, etc.), or batch year as a custom print or embroidery. Email bulk@iitianvibes.com with your specs. For single-unit customisation — say, one hoodie with your hostel name on the back — reach out via the Contact page; single custom prints are possible but carry a small additional fee and a slightly longer turnaround.
