BITSian 2 BITSian – An more powerful B2B idea

By Sandeep mukherjee (’95 Phy Mech) and Anuradha Gupta (’86 MMS)

I’d love to make a career change and am looking for the right opportunity but these darned job boards never seem to help. I’ve heard networking helps but how do I network?”

“I’d like to go to graduate school after BITS but can’t afford to do so without a scholarship. Wonder which schools I should apply to!”

“I think I’d like an MBA from a top tier school but I’d sure like some advice.”

“Everyone tells me I should stay on top of my field of expertise but how? I can’t read everything that comes my way. I simply don’t have the time.”

We’ve all been there. As students and as alumni we’d all like to know what opportunities are out there, how we can further our academic credentials, identify and proactively prepare for industry trends and so on. We’re also constantly reminded by our peers, organizational leaders and society in general about the need to develop ourselves as Leaders.

Getting into Top MBA Schools: B2B at Work

By Abhinav Gattani (’98 Comp Sci)

As they say, all good ideas come with a glass of beer, so did the thought of such a group for   BITSians. I'd like to thank Krishna (Tuck '06), Shobhit (Michigan '06) and Manish (Michigan '06) for this initiative.  The greatest benefit of this group is to leverage the BITS connection for maximum benefit during the application process to business schools around the world. 

It starts with the bits2bschool yahoogroup. The aim of this online community is to keep an excellent roster of advice for BITSians applying to top schools.  Succeed in the academic, professional and social sectors by working with mentors and peers who help and guide you.

Olab: Of Sand, Silicon and Oysters

By Sandhya Krishnan (’99 Info Systems)

It was 2002 – and the 1977 batch alumni were gearing up for their silver reunion.  Amidst all the hectic planning and excitement, a few members thought it would be a nice idea to give back something to the college they owed so much to. Ideas floated around, and the one that stuck was that of a world-class VLSI Laboratory. A year later, July 2003, at the music night in Bangalore - BITSConnexion, in the melee of songs and handshakes, this idea took shape and form. Few more months later, with the efforts of some well-placed alumni in the VLSI industry in Bangalore, a presentation was given to current Vice Chancellor of BITS, Dr S. Venkateshwaran. OLAB was to be a world-class laboratory in terms of infrastructure, facilities and talent.
