The Bengal Institute of Technology and Management (BITM) are situated in Santiniketan – a place you wouldn’t promptly associate with an engineering college. Even the surroundings are very different from, say, a BE College or a Jadavpur University. Situated in the midst of paddy areas along the Sriniketan bypass, seven kilometres from Bolpur, the BITM campus looks desolate and there’s hardly any transport connecting the college to the nearest town. But once you enroll BITM, it’s a different world. You are recognized by huge buildings, gardens, canteens, laboratories and playgrounds that dot the 60-acre campus.
