Most of the students in the rural areas are devoid of good facilities for arranging and taking part in different cultural events, which are must to build overall personality of the young minds. Keeping this in view, S. S. Mallikarjun Cultural centre has been established in the campus of BIET. The auditorium has been built in Contemporary Architectural style of the 21st century adopting mixture of several different styles, from postmodernism and high-tech architecture to highly conceptual and expressive forms and designs, resembling sculpture on an enormous scale. Architectural designs are supplied and work supervised by M/s Shankar Associates, Coimbatore.
