Each sub-councils has a nominated Officer-In-Charge from among the faculty members who are the head of the sub-councils, and he/she holds the office for that particular sub-council. They play a major role in organising the events/functions under their guidance, support and supervision.
Further, every sub-councils has a number of students actively taking the legacy forward.
In BIET, the CSA is officially divided into 4 sub-councils based on the concerned activities & functionary roles each of them has to play for the current students present on campus.
Sub-Councils
Cultural Sub Council (popularly known as CSC): CSC plays a crucial role in providing the perfect platform for rich & passionate cultural activities which enables students to come forward and showcase their hidden talents. It aims at nurturing the skills and upbringing of the co-curricular artists in the college. The organizing and management team is responsible for the proper and smooth functioning of the festivals and events.

Events
Annual Cultural Festival - UTSAV
Utsav provides an opportunity for the budding talent in the institute to showcase their talent to a larger audience. These include diverse performances like Singing, Dancing, Compering, Skits, Theme Dance, Panache, Mime, etc. The organizing and management team is responsible for the proper and smooth functioning of the festivals and events.
Annual Technical Festival - TechZion
TechZion is our annual technical festival which allows students to showcase their technical abilities beyond the ambit of academics. Many colleges of repute are invited to take part in TeChZioN. Technical symposiums and guest speakers from many areas of technical research and development mark this event. Innovative ideas are transformed into real technical artefacts as the students explore beyond the ambit of pure academics and try their hand at less known technologies.
Annual Sports Festival - PACE
Pace is our annual sports fest which promotes a spirit of friendly competition among all the branches of the college. The overall winner branch parades through the institute central playground.
Bencolites
The institute was used to be known as Bundelkhand Engineering College. BENCOL is an acronym for Bundelkhand ENgineering COLlege. Hence the term "Bencolites" refers to the students (current and graduated) of the institute. Though BENCOL was changed to BIET (in around 1994–1995), the term Bencolites is still used by alumni and current student in the proper and popular legacy culture.
