After a run of 11 years, curtains came down on IIIT Amethi campus when its 148 students were shifted to the Allahabad campus on Tuesday.
Amethi is considered as bastion of Congress and has been represented by the Gandhi family. The students of Rajiv Gandhi IIIT have been shifted to the Allahabad campus and the Amethi campus will be transferred to the Ambedkar University, Lucknow, as per government decision, Director IIIT-Allahabad GC Nandi said on Wednesday.
A decision to this effect was taken in May when the then Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani had announced shutting down of Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Amethi and opening of satellite institute of Babaseheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow, on that campus.
