<Possibly OT> 1. They had a visionary management who wanted to the institution to achieve greater heights. I should mention that that the Academic Programs at BITS Pilani were greatly influenced by the BITS Pilani - MIT (US) Collaboration which started in mid sixties and continued in early seventies. I am not aware of any similar collaborations if they are having these days. Similarly, all IITs have been individually influenced by a country specific collaboration. IITK with US, IITD with UK etc. 2. The social circumstances at BITS Pilani, starting early fifties to mid-seventies is also a great factor in making BITS Pilani having a reputation today. I was born in that campus, so I know. <OT> Tie-ups have been a key factor in building these institutions. anand _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
