Benaras Hindu University was founded by Mahamana Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya (Malviyaji) through the establishment of three engineering and technological institutions: the Benaras Engineering College (BENCO) in 1919, the College of Mining and Metallurgy (MINMET) in 1923, and the College of Technology (TECHNO) [at what year?].
These institutions offered degrees in Mining, Metallurgy, Ceramics and Pharmaceutics in India, and after India became independent in 1947, post-graduate and doctoral research programmes were also introduced.
After the establishment of the Indian Institutes of Technology, these three institutions were merged in 1971 to form the Institute of Technology (IT-BHU).
