The Student Union Council is back again to stir up drama in our monotonous pre-midsem week with PEARL’23’s budget. Just a year ago, the SUC’22 presented before us a 1.2 Crore in-house fest with Rs.700 deductions, which was honestly nothing more than an overpriced extravagant 5-day college party for us BITSians.
