To, The Principal / Management, BMSIT College, Bengaluru.

Subject: Request regarding extension of semester break for 1st-year students.

Respected Sir/Madam,

We, the students of the 1st Semester, would like to bring to your kind attention that the semester break provided to us (ending on 22nd Feb) is extremely short, being only 1 week.

Most of the students in our batch are from North India and other distant states. Traveling back home takes 2-3 days by train/flight one way, leaving us with almost no time to rest or spend with our families before the rigorous 2nd semester begins.

Furthermore, Holi, which is one of the most significant festivals for us, falls in early March. If the college reopens on 22nd Feb, we will not be able to celebrate this major festival with our families.

Our Request: We humbly request the administration to extend the semester break so that outstation students can travel home, get adequate rest, and celebrate Holi with their loved ones. A relaxed mind will help us perform better in the upcoming semester.

We hope you understand our situation and take a student-friendly decision.

Sincerely, 1st Year Students, BMSIT
