Careers360. Describe a typical day at your institute – what do you do from the time you wake up till you go to sleep?

I wake up at 5, catch a metro by 6:15 AM, reach by 7:50 AM to attend lectures starting at 8:10 AM. A typical day in college for everyone starts near the hands figurine. From there we start dispersing to our respective lecture halls. Lunch break starts at 12:20 PM, the most awaited time of the day and lasts till 1:10 PM. Followed by lectures/ postings again till 3:40 PM. There are a lot of leisurely activities in between like going to the sports arena, food outlets like subway and Nescafé or just sitting in the central lawn. At 3:40 PM I commute to the nearest metro station (NHPC CHOWK). I return at 6 PM. I nap for half an hour, catch up with my family and then workout. At 8 PM I review what I had done today in the class and have dinner by 10:30 PM then I chat with my mother till we both fall asleep.

The teacher student relationship is quite relaxed but it mostly depends on how a student presents themselves and how is their attitude towards the teacher. The faculty student ratio is well rounded and classes are not left unattended. There are multiple posts in every department: HOD, Reader, Lecturer and a tutor.

The campus has all the facilities one would need to get by in life here. There’s a golf cart to make travel easy in the campus, a beautiful central lawn really a treat for the eyes, good food outlets, shops to cater the needs of students from different courses. For example there’s an inbuilt pharmacy for dental students so that purchasing equipment becomes easy.

Careers360. How do you balance your studies, projects, exams and other activities?

It’s all about how motivated you are and how you prioritize your goals. I try to pay as much attention as I can in the class.

Practical skills reinforce what I learn during the lectures so, that helps me recollect things during exam period and revision becomes easy.
