For a school in its first year, this is exceptional. The students in this class were picked not just for their academic achievements and exam scores, but also for their outstanding extracurricular activities. Our class is varied, talented, and eager, and we have excellent communication skills. We will now assist them in realizing their full potential through our unique curriculum and tailored development plans.”, he continued.

Students will attend seminars on addressing case studies and a session on leadership perspectives by Prakash Iyer, a best-selling author, motivational speaker, and leadership coach, during the first week of the academic term. The introductory workshops on self-development will be led by Prof. Leena Chatterjee, head of the Department of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources. Each BITSoM student will have a self-development plan, which will be the first step on their path to become a leader at BITSoM. During the week, Prof Raj Raghunathan, a member of the BITSoM Governing Council and a Professor of Business at the University of Texas at Austin will hold a session for students and their families.
