Unofficial Prospectus of BMS

The following article appears in the latest edition of JAM (link).

One of the favourite ragging questions here: What's the full form of BMS? Answers to the above question range from a naive BM Sreenivasaiah college of Engineering to "Bangalore's Most Sexiest College of Engineering".

Campus: A beautifully landscaped campus, housing a stationery store, cricket ground cum football field, a huge indoor sports complex and an international hostel where guys and gals live in a single block, single floor but separate rooms ;-) The campus also houses other basic essentials like a library, four tall and spacious classroom blocks, canteen etc.

Crowd: Mostly filled with the intellectual lot who score well in the CET exams, but they are anything but nerdish.The crowd is endless fun, consisting of a very very generous sprinkling of handsome hunks, cute guys, pretty gals and gorgeous babes. The colurful crowd can be found jibbering away at any time of the day at any place on the lush green campus.

Courses offered: Engineering of all disciplines ranging from IT to Printing Technology and Silk Technology!

Extra currics: I am highly tempted to say 'studies' are the extra currics here n 'fun' comes under the head of curriculum :) On a serious note, we have a mountaineering club, a hyper-active cultural team, a social service team apart from zillion sports teams that end up winning top honours in nearly every sport under the sun.

Faculty: Very warm, friendly and helpful.

Favourite hangout: BMS Katte. Katte in kannada means a platform.The BMS katte is a huge one and you'll find half of BMS's we-bunk-class-everyday kinda junta here.

Canteen: Looks more like a bus stand, though the food is pretty good. If it's bad for a change, it's SLV restaurant.

Life of BMS: Basketball

How we boo the non-BMS team during basketball: Play drums (read old khataara vessels) with huge wooden sticks singing "We will We will rock you" loudly, but substituting the word rock with F*** :)

Fests: Utsav - a very very happening event in Bangalore, hogging a lot of media glare, and is the one event which the Bangalore youth look forward to. The fashion shows, mad ads and rock shows always run to packed houses.

Tech fest:They are generally department-specific and are spaced out throughout the year.
