Keralam delegation begins journey to BHU
IIT Palakkad has reported the flag-off of a 48-member delegation travelling from Keralam to Banaras Hindu University under Yuva Sangam Phase VII. The report is dated October 21.
Chief guest V. B. Bineesh and IIT Palakkad director A. Seshadri Sekhar flagged off the journey after Sekhar's address and a student cultural programme. The institute says this is its second participation as a Yuva Sangam nodal institution. It plans to receive a 45-member delegation from Uttar Pradesh in the reciprocal exchange.
The programme covers five themes: tourism, traditions, development, people-to-people contact and technology. The institute describes exposure to Uttar Pradesh's heritage and development initiatives as part of the visit.
The Ministry of Education's Phase VII framework, published in August, pairs BHU with IIT Palakkad. It identifies 20 higher-education institutions as nodal centres and describes educational and cultural visits lasting five to seven days, excluding travel. The visits are designed to include educational institutions, governance initiatives, industries, heritage sites and community life.
The official programme portal marks Phase VII registration as closed, with August 31 as the final date.
BHU reports 332 academic awards
In another campus development, BHU's October 16 report records its first Academic Excellence Award Ceremony. The university honoured 332 students who topped their programmes in the even-semester examinations with a CGPA of at least 8.5. The awards were introduced from the 2025-26 academic session across undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines.
Of those recognised, 173 were undergraduates and 159 were postgraduates. The Faculty of Arts accounted for 92 awardees, followed by Science with 78 and Agriculture with 30.
BHU uses the number of students in each programme to set its award allocation. Cohorts above 100 qualify for three awards, those of 50 to 100 for two, and those below 50 for a single award.
BHU says approximately 500 awards will be presented each year in two phases. The ceremony at Swatantra Bhavan recognised students while they were still studying at the university.
