IPCD organised for representatives of 20 universities from USA, U.K. and Japan to visit us to discuss possible academic collaborations and higher education opportunities in several branches of academic interest..Such a large team visited us for the first time through Acumen- a New Delhi based Higher Education network group. The primary objective of this interaction was to explore institute level collaboration and higher education opportunities.
Students received an exclusive opportunity to interact with senior delegates from top-ranked US STEM universities visiting the campus. The seminar provided valuable insights into academic programs, admissions, eligibility, and funding options. Attendees also gained access to application fee waivers and the $6 million SEED Scholarships Fund for pursuing master’s degrees abroad. For those thinking about pursuing a STEM Master’s this was an incredible opportunity to meet senior leaders from Boston University CAS, Buffalo University, Columbia Engineering, NYU-Tandon, etc. on our campus.
Nirmaan, in collaboration with the DKMS Foundation, organized a Blood Stem Cell Donor Registration Drive to promote lifesaving awareness. The simple registration process involved a quick cheek swab, adding students to a global donor registry. This initiative empowered participants to offer hope and a second chance to patients worldwide. It was held on 13 October, 2025 at the campus, with the goal of registering students and volunteers as potential stem‐cell donors. The initiative is part of Nirmaan Goa’s broader health & well-being vertical: raising awareness about life-saving medical donation opportunities and building a database of willing donors on campus.
As a new academic year begins, it's a meaningful time to pause and reflect on the importance of mental well-being and staying motivated. The journey through academics, extracurriculars, and personal development can be challenging and it’s completely okay to slow down, reset, and reach out for support when needed. Caring for your mental health is not just essential, it’s powerful, it lays the groundwork for clarity, resilience, and lasting success.
Let’s keep building a campus culture rooted in empathy, encouragement, and openness where checking in on yourself and others becomes second nature.
We’re in this together. As the saying reminds us, “You can’t pour from an empty cup take care of yourself first.”
Thank you for being a vital part of the BITSian family - a community that continues to grow, uplift, and inspire.
