Not all consultancy work involves charges of monetary nature. A significant amount of consultancy can be done without charging even a single penny if the consultancy serves a larger goal that amounts to touching lives of many of underprivileged people irrespective of whichever part of the world the request comes from.

These charges listed here, do not include costs towards Transportation (by Air / Train <if no air connectivity exists> / Car as the case may require), Lodging/Boarding and Service Tax. etc. as per applicable laws of the land.

How would the Consultancy charges be paid and to whom?

All consultancy charges shall be directly payable to “BITS Pilani”. BITS, as per its internal policy and involved expenses etc., will retain an appropriate percentage of the charged consultancy fee before disbursing the remaining amount to the consultant (s) actually contributing to the completed consultancy.

This payment may be made through Crossed Demand Draft payable to “BITS Pilani” or Wire Transfer (Electronic Transfer through secure Banking Methods) to a designated BITS Pilani account. Prior consultation with BITS Pilani is advisable.

How to approach?

Any organization legally registered in its country can approach me at the contact coordinates indicated below by Email (official Email) or Postal Mail (if sent by postal mail, letter should be on the official letterhead). Initial enquiries may consider use of telephone / video-conferencing methods as well.

Consultancy Policy

No consultancy shall be undertaken if the resultant work could be directly or indirectly used for any kind of disruptive purposes.  No consultancy requiring an exclusive binding to a single organization shall be acceptable.

BITS Pilani’s prior approval has to be sought by the consultant and for this reason, proper documentation may have to be provided by the requesting agency.
