 Notes from Pilani

 
 

 

From BITS Pilani, Dubai

 


Dear Karthik,
 

… lotsa “firsts” last sem on campus. The start of a campus placement programme like the one in Pilani, mock interviews were conducted by the Campus Placement Cell and 21 companies came and recruited most of the final year students. Also had Techofest 2004 akin to APOGEE. Some cool gizmos like a “Smart Home” (automation of a home using the internet!) and a lie detector were on display.

 
54 students graduated and we had an elaborate ceremony for them – you guys really should consider starting these.
 
The institute has also started a Practice School Programme with the first batch of students doing quite well with many receiving offers from their companies. Let’s hope the scenario remains equally promising when I do my PS. That’s it for now! Take care,
 
M. (BITS, Dubai)
