Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-D) has approached the authorities to remove the mention of IIT or the coaching institute FIITJEE from the name of the Metro station near its campus, saying it could mislead students into thinking they have a tie-up.

FIITJEE has become the sponsor of the soon-to-be opened Metro station opposite IIT-D. Signage installed at the station has named it FIITJEE IIT, coupling the two names.

The new signage displays only the institute's name along with that of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

We are happy the issue has been settled, BIS is a good brand to be associated with as it aligns with the image of our institute.

The BIS is the national standards body of India working under the aegis of ministry of consumer affairs, food & public distribution.
