During this period, the institute's transformation from a regional engineering college to a national university was backed by G.D. Birla. This university was christened as the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, known to many as BITS, Pilani. BITS has provided the highest quality technical education to students from all over India admitted on the basis of merit. Its graduates may be found throughout the world in all areas of engineering, science and commerce.
