PS-1 students from BITS Pilani have adapted very well to the new conditions. All the students involved have submitted all the assigned work on deadlines, no one has missed even a single deadline. This shows that they are taking their internship opportunity seriously. We will ensure that this is a productive internship for the students and that they develop technical skills as well as get an understanding of how to work in a corporate environment.

I would like to extend our appreciation for the amazing work done by the young talent. The project which was aimed to provide seamless information to the vendors of BHEL was very well understood and executed by the team from BITS. Budding talent might have spent endless hours working on this project, and the professionalism that has been shown is very important.

Thank you so much for the projects done by the PS-1 students and the faculty members for guiding them. Most of the projects have come out nicely and effectively.
