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

Sanskar Dua: A typical day begins at 6:30 am, when I wake up and freshen up, followed by around an hour of gym. Then I get ready and rush to classes at 8:30 am. We get free at around 4:30pm, have our lunch and then we are free to carry our day as we please. This includes sports, studies, long walks in the campus, fun sessions with friends, participating in club activities, as well as performing my duties as part of the student council in overlooking the working of these clubs.

Q. Tell us about the faculty-student ratio here and about the teacher-student relationship in your understanding.

Sanskar Dua: The faculty members that I have interacted with have been very approachable. They are always willing to take up questions, are easily approachable outside class hours and always ready to help with other activities such as internships and mooting as well.

Q. What facilities do you have on campus? What do you like here the most which you feel is unique and differentiating?

Sanskar Dua: We have Air-Conditioned Classrooms, Academic Blocks, and Hostel Room. We also have a very feedback-oriented Mess staff, which introduces food according to student wishes, and implements feedback. We have many sports facilities as I mentioned above. A student can never run out of options when it comes to sports. We also have a great security team and anti-ragging squad on campus that are very friendly to interact with and very quick to act where required.

Sanskar Dua: The hostels are comfortable. And there is adequate space available. We get our separate desks, wardrobe, and beds, along with air conditioning.

The washrooms are cleaned regularly and hygiene are maintained.

Q. What about the medical facilities? Can you avail requisite medical attention if needed in an emergency?

Sanskar Dua: We have a wellness center here on the college campus itself. They have most of the medication that a student can require for everyday needs in case of colds, fever, weakness, or sports injuries. We also have adequate bedding facilities for students, facilities for special diets as required according to the qualified medical practitioners present here, as well as specialized equipment such as steamers, nebulizers, drips, oxygen masks, blood oxygen and blood sugar sensors. There is also a tie-up with Kailash Hospital, Greater Noida and an Ambulance service for cases where a student needs to be sent to hospital due to emergency cases.

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

Sanskar Dua: Balancing is a never-ending task, that is sometimes successful, sometimes not. But each activity that I am involved in teaches me something valuable and introduces me to exceptional people who I can always learn from.

Q. Tell us about the clubs and societies at the campus and how significant are they from your point of view or students’ point of view?

Sanskar Dua: The clubs are an integral part of the university’s culture. There are countless creative activities happening that are pushing the boundaries of imagination to new heights. For example, we have Alexis, the social welfare club, organizing blood donation drives, which I am very happy to say was the most successful blood donation drive according to the collaborating organization. We have dance clubs involving students in both western dances as well as cultural dances. We have a music club, a gaming club, a yoga club, fashion club and a lot more. We even have a dramatics club, which regularly hosts exceptional workshops, and has a track record of performing well and winning at reputed external events.
