Since then, a number of IIT campuses mushroomed in different parts of the country such as IIT Bombay was set up in 1958, IIT Madras in 1959, IIT Kanpur in 1959 and IIT Delhi in 1961. The newest IIT has come up in Dhanbad as Indian School of Mines at Dhanbad was conferred with IIT status in 2016. 
 
Each IIT campus reflects a different ideology, geography, culture, rankings and thought process and each of them is fighting to get the number one spot. 
 
Now, link this to the popular American TV series Game of Thrones! Yes, there are striking similarities between IITs and Game of Thrones. 
 
There is fight for an iron throne (in case of IITs, number one slot), Game of Thrones has different houses (in case of IITs, different locations) and every house has a distinct trait. 
 
In Game of Thrones, there is a night’s watch and in IITs, night’s watch is education ministry. 
 
A thread on Quora became popular that asked If IITs were houses of Game of Thrones, which IIT would represent which house?

If the IITs were the houses of Game of Thrones, these are the houses they would represent

A video showing the sprawling <keyword id="3513463" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="IIT-Kharagpur-campus">IIT Kharagpur campus</keyword> in a different way - the ‘Games of Thrones style’ - has got netizens raving about it since last week, when it was first posted on YouTube. 
 The perfect animation that lets you take a tour of the beautiful Kharagpur campus has been overlaid with the <keyword id="6433339" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Game-of-Thrones">Game of Thrones</keyword> opening track. 
 This fictional masterpiece is the brainchild of <keyword id="245736" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Prateek-Srivastava">Prateek Srivastava</keyword> - a second year student studying Ocean Engineering and Naval architecture at <keyword id="6364832" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="IIT-Kharagpur">IIT Kharagpur</keyword>. What’s interesting, however, is that this lad has not seen a single episode of the Games of Thrones series yet. 
 
Ask him then, how he managed to replicate the essence of the fantasy drama TV series so well in his video and Srivastava says he came up with the idea because he loves the original GoT track. He adds: “Actually the video is also the outcome of the zeal and love that he and every KGPian has for their campus.” 
 
The video made using free softwares now has over 18,000 views already. 
 
“It took me 12 days to produce the final video, and I used Blender and Adobe Premier Pro for designing and animation,” Srivastava says. 
 
Overwhelmed with the sudden praises this boy has got, he tells us, “I had my vacations. So, I decided implement this idea using my free time. I honestly didn't expect this response, but the reactions in campus are awesome.” 
 
If you haven't got a chance to view his video yet, check it out because it is definitely the most creative thing you will come across today: 
 
 
And you can compare it to the original GoT video if you haven't seen it yet:

Here's my diet plan for my preparation for World's Strongest Man 2016! Yes this is a lot &amp; I don't recommend YOU to try this!!6:50 Morning workout! Cardio + CORE for 30min Bcca, Glutamine + handful of almonds 7:30 8 eggs + 200gr Oats + blueberries &amp; strawberries + avocado 9:30 400gr Beef, 400gr Sweet potatoes, handful of spinach &amp; greens 11:50 Bcca, glutamine 12:00 400gr Chicken + 400gr potatoes, greens + some fruits 14:00 Blender = 150gr oats or sweet potatoes, 2 bananas 150gr kelloggs rice krispies, frozen berries, handful almonds, peanut butter and glutamine 14:30 Training strongman, Bcca, glutamine, Vitargo 17:30 60gr protein + 2 bananas 18:00 500gr beef + potatoes, greens 20:30 500gr salmon + 500gr sweet potatoes 22:30 50gr casein protein or 6 eggs + avocado + 30gr almonds + 50gr peanut butterDrink a lot of water throughout the day + Juices to get more calories!! middle of the night 50gr casaine protein or raw eggs.We did the math, and his eight meal a day diet clocks in at over 10,000 calories. And that's on the low end of the spectrum, given that we didn't calculate the calories in his greens, protein powder, and his "handful" of almonds, which is probably a lot more almonds than the average person can fit in their hands.<div></div>But given how large&#xa0;Björnsson is and how much training he does - he works out once at 6:50 a.m. and trains for the Strong Man competition again at 2:30 p.m. - he definitely needs these calories. He even recommends drinking a lot&#xa0;of juice throughout the day to get even more calories or having some raw eggs for a midnight snack.Seriously."Yes this is a lot and I don't recommend you to try this,"&#xa0;Björnsson said. Fair enough.You can take a look at our calorie breakdown (calculated with the help of Google) for his eight meals a day below.Handful of almonds = a one-ounce serving of almonds (about 23 nuts) has 129 caloriesEight eggs = 624 calories (78 calories per egg)200 grams of oats = 778 caloriesBlueberries and strawberries = ~120 calories (about a cup of each)Avocado = 234 calories400 grams of beef =&#xa0;1,000 calories400 grams of sweet potatoes = 344 caloriesspinach and greens = negligible400 grams of chicken = 656 calories400 grams of potatoes = 376 calories"Greens and some fruits" = negligible150 grams of oats or sweet potatoes = 584 calories2 bananas = 210 calories140 grams of Kellogg Rice Krispies = 533 caloriesFrozen berries = ~80 calories&#xa0; for a cupHandful almonds = 129 caloriesPeanut butter = 188 calories&#xa0;for two tablespoons2 bananas = 210 calories500 grams of beef (plus potatoes and greens) = 1,250 calories500 grams of salmon = 1,040 calories500 grams of sweet potatoes = 430 caloriesSix eggs = 468 caloriesAvocado = 234 calories30 grams of almonds = 173 calories50 grams of peanut butter = 294 calories <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/crossfit-competitor-lifts-over-100-lbs-at-9-months-pregnant-2016-4">This Crossfit competitor is 9 months pregnant - and still lifting more than 100 lbs</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="Jzdm80MzE6PTs7bDoh0Kid5b2UhVK5gb" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
