CAMPUS SPEAK
NYOTH
Pilani Team
Not Yet Over The Hill, a band created by 70s BITSians comes down to one Oasis and weave magic. As the comfortable beats of their music floats through the BITSian air, time stands still and three decades melt in music.
BITS, Pilani Auditorium 1974: An amateur constructed sound system barely carries the sounds of a guitar, a keyboard, the drums and a vocalist across the sparsely filled auditorium. Enthusiastic engineers-in-the-making take the stage and begin to play new numbers- Pink Floyd, the Who and the likes. In the audience are 'wingies' and friends, showing their support even if they don't understand the music completely. 'Rock' means nothing more than an odd Beatles song to most of these people, and yet, they seem to enjoy the bands efforts. At the end of an hour, as the Audi empties slowly, snatches of conversation weave into the thick summer night as the crowd makes its way down the road, forking at Krishna Bhawan....

tRebel: BPD’s own music rebellion!
The idea was simple enough. Get together a group of like-minded individuals, with their like-mindedness being a passionate love for music, and get them to use this medium to infuse life and freshness into the college…and along the way raise a little hell as well!
Thus was born ‘tRebel’, BITS-Pilani, Dubai’s very own music club...
B'Quizzed
Dubai Team
The brightest minds of UAE butt heads; who is going to be left B’Quizzed?
“A lion a tiger's roar played backwards at half-speed led to which famous creation?”
“How do we more famously know the person ‘Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam’?”

Dubai Team
BPD opens up on what it is like to be a part of BITS and also be in Dubai!
‘We left home with a heavy heart,
Friends and foes far away,
With a mission in hand and dreams galore...
In an endless fantasia towards the shore...
Did my dreams meet their realm?
Let’s find out!’
The bus halts with a jerk and we all open our sleep-laden eyes. In this ungodly hour (it’s 6.30 AM, for God’s sake), when half the world is still fast asleep, we make our way into the orange building standing against the dark sky. The corridors are still empty, except for the security guard in his blue uniform. We make our way to our classrooms and find a place to catch some more sleep. And then it begins...

Goa Team
View points and how they vary as we traverse through BITSian years…
I Academics
The fresher:
The first day in college – A feeling of pride and maturity, promises to be sincere, hardworking and bring laurels to my college. During the very first lecture the fresher hangs on to every word the professor utters, takes down notes and asks seniors and endless stream of queries about academics, CGPA, tutorials etc. Back in the hostel, it was at first difficult to get accustomed to living so far away from home. There were long talks to parents and bouts of homesickness...
