The BITSAA Leadership Programme to take in the new 2012 cohort of Leaders is here. BITSAA Leaders have done great work in their fields and the time has come for new talent to take part in rising up to the occasion. We hope to cross the number of applications of the last Leadership recruitment drive by leaps and bounds this year, and as our responsibilities as an organization grow, looking for determined people to help lead us into the future.

What kind of Leaders does BITSAA want? To know more, access the slideshare presentation here and the BITSAA Leadership Programme Video Teaser.

 

So, head to this page and apply now!

Oh! btw, BITSAA has also officially begun rolling out the BITSAA Certificates of Appreciation after a year long initiative by the HR team to create added value for the BITSAA Leaders community.  This goes a long way to reiterate the gratitude BITSAA has towards Leaders and the excellent work they do day in and day out towards the betterment of BITSAA and the student community apart from their daily jobs. So, yes, volunteering has its perks 🙂

What we gave them to work with was much fuzzier. BITSConnect 2.0, at conception, was still largely the dry subjects of networks and unified communications. Continue reading →

The sheer complexity of the technology infrastructure backing our efforts is not just the basis of, but one of the principal achievements that proves how formidable BITSAA is. In the words of Anupendra Sharma, “the Chief Technical Officer position has always been so strategic, and gives BITSAA the chance to be one such organization, that can influence the lives and direction of 30,000+ alums and 5,000 students on campus – who in turn can create organizations and products that will make the world a better place.”
