Finally, I was delighted to receive the “Welcome pack” from the British Computer Society concerning my Student Membership.
The Royal Mail contained:
- A Welcome Letter from the Chief Executive David Clarke FBCS CITP
- A beautiful membership card(as highlighted in the photo)
- WELCOME TO IT, your introduction to BCS STUDENT MEMBERSHIP brochure

The BCS is the industry body for IT professionals and a chartered engineering institution for information technology (IT).
I am now a Student Member of the BCS and this membership will expire on 28 Feb 2012. Apart from the Ordinary Grade of Student, one could also be an Affiliate of Associate (AMBCS).
In order to gain access to many of the benefits and information available to me, I registered myself on bcs.org/update and finally could log in in the BCS Secure Area. Phew…..Finally…Waow: A cool WELCOME ASHESH RAMJEEAWON was in my personal page, gotta have fun exploring this treasure.
