The co-curricular activities here connect knowledge to the real world and ignite innovation, leadership, critical thinking, and a sense of purpose in every student. Right from the beginning, students participate in experiences that make learning dynamic and meaningful with data storytelling challenges, visualization competitions, and social impact projects. You will attend masterclasses by industry leaders, explore AI creativity workshops, and participate in hackathons and predictive modelling challenges, which build hands-on skills like developing AI-powered apps, creating recommendation engines, and designing data-driven solutions for smart cities, healthcare, and beyond.

Outside the academic realm, students become part of a vibrant and inclusive community, by joining student-led groups in creative arts and design, gaming and e-sports, photography and videography. They connect with students across diverse interests, build lasting friendships, and develop resilience, creativity, communication, and teamwork. There is also the Annual Campus Immersion, where they network with peers and faculty, engage in hands-on workshops, participate in co-curricular events, and experience the spirit of the BITS community first hand.

With PROPEL, you’ll be able to thoughtfully capture and showcase the full range of your real-world learning — from hands-on projects and industry experiences to research explorations, creative problem-solving, and important professional milestones. It’s a space where your work comes to life, not just as individual achievements, but as part of a growing, compelling story about who you are and what you can do.

Every hackathon you participate in, every model you design, every solution you build — all of it becomes part of a rich, evolving portfolio that shows employers your readiness, creativity, and growth. It’s more than a collection of work; it’s a living proof of your potential and ambition. By the time you graduate, you won’t just walk away with a degree from one of India’s most respected institutions — you’ll carry a dynamic, well-crafted portfolio that reflects your journey and propels you toward exciting global opportunities, influential roles, and meaningful impact in the world of tomorrow.

• Hands-on expertise in AI, Data Science, and real-world problem solving
