  The Beijing Electron Spectrometer III (BESIII) is a multipurpose detector
that collects data provided by the collision in the Beijing Electron Positron
Collider II (BEPCII), hosted at the Institute of High Energy Physics of
Beijing. Since the beginning of its operation, BESIII has collected the world
largest sample of J/{\psi} and {\psi}(2s). Due to the increase of the
luminosity up to its nominal value of 10^33 cm-2 s-1 and aging effect, the MDC
decreases its efficiency in the first layers up to 35% with respect to the
value in 2014. Since BESIII has to take data up to 2022 with the chance to
continue up to 2027, the Italian collaboration proposed to replace the inner
part of the MDC with three independent layers of Cylindrical triple-GEM (CGEM).
The CGEM-IT project will deploy several new features and innovation with
respect the other current GEM based detector: the {\mu}TPC and analog readout,
with time and charge measurements will allow to reach the 130 {\mu}m spatial
resolution in 1 T magnetic field requested by the BESIII collaboration. In this
proceeding, an update of the status of the project will be presented, with a
particular focus on the results with planar and cylindrical prototypes with
test beams data. These results are beyond the state of the art for GEM
technology in magnetic field.
