Growth Team

Think about it – How cool would it be to run queries like this “Find

all BITSians who graduated in the year 1970, have a PhD in Computer Sciences and are working in the area of Networking” OR “I am going to Antarctica. Find my BITSian peers who could host me!”

Do you see the benefits for BITS and YOU! ?

14 Lakh worth scholarships given every year

“I come from a middle class. I still remember how excited I was when I scored well in BITSAT & knew I had a chance to go to BITS. However looking at the fee structure,

I was worried that it would create an economic burden on my family. It was only when a few seniors at BITS told me about the MCN scholarships at BITS that I

decided to join the institute.” - BITSAA MCN Scholarship Recipient

“This scholarship may have been my dream but it could not have been possible without your active help, encouragement and making it easy for me. You are the

reason I recommend that giving back to BITS” - Donor
