Proud to be BITSians from Deloitte visit BITS Pilani Rajasthan

Members of every major religion undertake pilgrimages and for the alumni of BITS Pilani which is one among the top ranking universities in India today, visiting their alma mater years after their graduation, is indeed a pilgrimage and a mission with passion.

(Tech) Science & Technology Development degree. He was accompanied by Jayendra Sankar who did his B.E. (Hons) chemical Engineering during 1994-1998 and is presently an Executive at Deloitte Consulting Mumbai

Going around the Institute, Sundhar Sekhar and Jayendra were impressed by the new Library building, Lecture Theatre Complex, Students Activity Centre etc and said that BITSAT model of admissions could have been done only by a top ranking university in India today like BITS Pilani which knows the way, goes the way and shows the way

On Sunday 23 March 2008, in his lecture on the scope of Consultancy and the career opportunities at Deloitte, Sundhar pointed out that Consultancy is all about Challenge Management meeting simultaneously time cost and performance goals and emphasized that a successful Consultant must possess Information Skills, Problem Solving Skills, Decision Making Skills and Communication Skills apart from Ability for Time, Stress and Project Management. He minced no words in thanking the broad based integrated and interdisciplinary approach of education at BITS Pilani which gave him ample opportunities from admissions to graduations for developing such skills and acquiring such ability to ensure that winning in tough situations became a way of his life.
