Taking it further, BIG 92.7 FM also organized a video conferencing session with reputed professors through Skype in which students from other BIG FM Stations in Rajasthan – Bikaner, Ajmer, Udaipur and Jodhpur, could also get feedbacks and suggestions.

Coaching institutes in Kota have utilized BIG FM’s extensive network to reach out to the aspiring students, who, otherwise most of the time remain clueless of the available institute in the city.
