A clarification on BITS Pilani Dean to our alumni seeking help for Placements.
An email from @bitspilaniindia Dean (Alumni) seeking help from alumni for placements is being blown out of proportions. It should be a very normal thing for institutions such as BITS and IITs to reach out to alumni for placements. I had done this even in my earlier role as Director, IIT Delhi. This is needed even to improve placement opportunities for students. #BITS #Pilani has over 7400 alumni in CEO and other senior positions in corporates all over the world. This mail from our Dean elicited a very positive response from alumni and many have connected with us. We also conducted a startup week during Jan 22-26, 2024 in BITS for encouraging good, well funded startups to hire our students. 24 startups that met our screening criteria participated in it. Students received very attractive offers from them. BITS has over 6300 startup founders/co-founders among its ranks. Median salaries in BITS campuses range over 20 lakhs for a batch size of roughly 3400, which is phenomenal.
If an institution isn't tapping their eminent #alumni network for #placements, they are doing something wrong. Please treat such emails from BITS Pilani to its alumni as a very normal thing henceforth.
The Oasis Review Meet is about to begin, after a last-minute postponement by three and a half hours. Information about the delay was conveyed by GenSec Naman Jalan. The reasons for the delay are unknown.
