<p><strong>Visiting ones’s Alma mater is always very special and nostalgic. I graduated from Birla Institute of Technology &amp; Science Pilani popularly known as BITS Pilani in 1985. Pilani is small remote town in the state of Rajasthan India. BITS Pilani campus is spread over 350 acres. It is likean OASIS in the desert. I studied and resided in the campus from 1980 to 1985. I enjoyed every moment of my stay and I have very fond memories. I was very curious to know about latest happenings at Pilani campus e.g. present BITS system of education, students’ life in campus, traditions and activities etc. I was curious to know all of it from the perspective of a current student.</strong></p> <p><strong>Recently I got an opportunity to visit BITS Pilani campus. Taking advantage of this opportunity I recorded this episode at BITS Pilani on 25th February 2024 with a 3rd year Civil engineering Student Amrit Bahl. Amrit is a very bright student belonging to Mumbai. It was pleasant surprise to note that he is very enthusiastic about core Civil engineering and wish to do master’s degree. This episode is a heart-to-heart conversation with a current student of BITS Pilani. In this episode I tried to relive and relate my time at BITS with Amrit.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Please like, share and subscribe to the podcast if you enjoyed the episode.
