ALGORHYTHM is an eclectic extravaganza organized by the Computer Society of India, Student Branch, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia. Algorhythm is a medium of technical and cultural exchange among the students from various parts of the country .This fabulous festival calls upon all students to bring out all their creative aspects and grey matter and invites them to have a surreal experience.

It’s the sheer euphoria of motion, the power of turning wheels. The landscape becomes a blur, a blast of the desert air greets you as you roll down the windows, and this is the road like you’ve never seen it before. This trip is all about motion, about the frenzy of 72 hours of a continuous drive .it is impossible to remember every detail of the countryside, but the snatches that you manage to see will be hard to forget.

So pump up the stereo, fasten your seat belts, turn the ignition, jam your foot hard on the accelerator, and be prepared to witness the most exhilarating road trip you ever could’ve seen.

||72 hours of motion||72 hours of speed||72 hours of the changing sands||72 hours of adrenalin||

Be a part of this awesomeness; revel in the bohemia; live the moments to the fullest……..

Pearl. The name spells fun, activity, adventure and so much more! Pearl is the annual cultural festival of BITS Pilani – Hyderabad Campus. Started off in 2010 as a city-wide cultural festival, it was a huge hit amongst the college students in Hyderabad. In 2011, we decided to go national, and how! Not only did we take the entire nation by storm, it was for the first time that the Swedish melodic death metal band, Dark Tranquility, performed live in India. The concert saw fans from all across the nation, who had traveled to Hyderabad for this very purpose! The international act aside, the festival, apart from a set of amazing events, also included performances by the Pakistani band Strings, and a classical night by Anil Srinivasan, Sikkil Gurucharan and A.R.Rahman’s flutist, Navin Iyer.Pearl 2012, which is going to take place from February 16th to 19th, promises to be bigger and better than its previous editions. From the theme, World 1-2, which is essentially 8 bit and 16 bit games, to amazing events that span every cultural genre, we promise you 72 hours of non-stop fun and activity. Once again, for the first time in India, thanks to Unseen Underground, Thurisaz, a Belgian metal band is all set to enthrall Hyderabad during Pearl as part of the international act! For the Bollywood night, we have Benny Dayal and troupe performing. The prelims of our semi-pro band competition, Til’ Deaf Do We Part, which will be held in various cities across the country, will start soon. For the first time, by adding a new dimension to Pearl, we are introducing technical events for the engineer and the scientist in all of us!
