As the first IIEST (IIEST Shibpur) starts to function from the academic year 2014-15, the governance model and organizational structure will become clear subsequently and is currently in the stage of being formulated (as of March 2014). Rajya Sabha Member V. Vijaya Sai Reddy urged the Union government to upgrade the AU College of Engineering (AUCE) as the Indian Institute of Engineering, Science and Technology, as per the recommendations of the Anandakrishnan Committee. But, unfortunately, the report was not implemented, even after 14 years after it was submitted by the committee.
