Oasis is the annual cultural festival of the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani. The festival features competitions and performances across a various range of artistic disciplines, including music, dance, drama, fashion, comedy and other genres of performing and visual arts.
The 50th edition, themed "Demesne of the Lost Gold", marked 50 years of the festival in 2022. The 51st edition, held in 2023, used the theme "Grimoire Galore", based on aesthetic appeal of fantasy books. While the 52nd and last edition, titled "Regal Roulette" was inspired by the aesthetic of casinos, and was held in 2024.
Oasis stages professional shows, also including semi-professional music competitions, such as Rocktaves, and vibrant student-led organizations.
