Scio has been very active since its inception. Through competitions and counseling sessions throughout Hyderabad, they meet and interact with a lot of students. They recently held Veda, an interschool fest, here in the BITS campus. The infrastructure of the college, combined with guest lectures by some emminent personalities , along with a host of competitions, saw a lot of participants come out with stars in their eyes.
