Visit to BIT Mesra

This was my maiden visit to my college BIT Mesra, as a representative of MindTree Ltd. The visit was a part of the MindTree Campus Confluence initiative (I cannot disclose much about this) and required us to travel to BIT Mesra for the purpose of guidance to a group of pre-final year students.

We traveled one pre decided Friday night from Bangalore to Kolkata and had a next day morning flight to Ranchi where we were received by the official BIT Mesra vehicle, traveling in this vehicle used to be a much hyped affair during the engineering days. We were put up very comfortably in the VIP guest house (same place where Palash Sen and co. stayed during the Live Euphoria performance at BIT Mesra), with same BIT flavor of tripod shaped utensils for serving the curries and Dal and a very hospitable but laid back ambience.

The day involved a rigorous pre and post lunch sessions with the group of students, involving rounds of technical and corporate gyaan. We also had a scheduled meeting with the TnP Chief - Prof. Pant (one of the most amicable persons in BIT) and it was wonderful to meet him after a span of 2 years. It brings back the fond placement memories.

The day came to close ambling in the campus with all the students, who were very inclined to bring forth all the changes (positive as well as negative) that have occurred in BIT in this period. The pride in being a BITian was pretty evident in this group of budding engineers.

As anticipated, it was a wonderful trip and More so, because it’s a nice feeling to be sitting on the other side of the table.
