Careers360: Did you face any difficulty in the initial months when you joined the institute?

Careers360: What activities are offered in the institute? Are there any clubs etc. for the various extracurricular activities? Which ones have you taken up and are a part of?

Survey Sana: The activities offered by the institute range from a variety of extracurricular options to an extreme technical and educational model. There are many cultural and fun oriented clubs to cater to one’s passion and also to encourage participation in activities like photography, dance, music, fashion, comedy, theater, literature, gaming and much more. I have been more tech oriented, so I have taken up a coding club (ATC) and a web development club (Fullstack) as my main. I am also a proud member of the student council of Bennett University.

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

Survey Sana: A typical day in the life of a BTech CSE student like me includes getting up early in the morning for my daily morning routine, followed by rushing up to the mess for breakfast. Most of my labs are scheduled at 8:30 am and I have to keep sprinting from one place to another to reach on time. We generally get free at around 12:30 pm for lunch and then we have our classes from 1:30 pm again. On average, we get free at around 4:30 pm which allows us to return to our rooms and freshen up till 5:30 where we rush for the snacks. This time of the day is mostly relaxed and carefree. We utilize the evening to take our time to relax and focus on our workout routine. We have our dinner at 8:00 pm and wake up till 1:00 am or less depending upon the intensity of the work, assignment, study and deadlines, before we go to sleep.

Careers360: Tell us about the faculty-student ratio here and about the teacher-student relationship in your understanding.

Survey Sana: Faculty: student ratio is very good at BU where every student is offered with personal attention and the faculty are mostly encouraging and supportive towards the students.

Careers360: What facilities do you have on the campus? What do you like here the most which you feel is unique and differentiating?

Talking about the infrastructure, there are facilities including laundry, food (4 times a day), sports (including gym, swimming, athletics, football and basketball, squash, badminton, table tennis, tennis and cricket), eating joints ( 4 fast-food , 1 continental & 1 South Indian), TV studio , radio studio, technical and mechanical labs and a lounge area. In my opinion, the diverse food joints and a mega sports complex is really a differentiating factor.

Careers360: How comfortable are your hostels and how about the cleanliness factor over there?

Survey Sana: The hostels serve a double sharing system and are quite comfortable. The rooms are cleaned twice a week on routine but the same can be requested as per the president’s schedule.

Careers360: What about the medical facilities? Can you avail requisite medical attention if needed in an emergency?

Survey Sana: A wellness Center is a prominent part of the university’s infrastructure. It is well equipped and is always managed by a doctor and a medical assistant. The Centre strictly adheres to the covid 19 protocols and promises immediate attention. The setup comprises an ambulance as well that communicates with Kailash Hospital in case of emergency.
