One of the key ways that BITSAA engages with people is by allowing its members to communicate with each other from within the BITSAA portal. In that spirit, letting people connect with each other and with large communities at once via multiple channels of engagement is a key proposition which we at BITSAA technology team strive to bring to our alumni.

Now, members registered with BITSAA can do exactly that while they network with alumni and peers from within bitsaa.org. BITSAA is now integrated with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and your other favorite social media channels which lets you interact with the world. Registered members now have the option of signing in to BITSAA using their Facebook credentials. (No more remembering yet another username/password!)
