STUDENT BODIES AND ACTIVITIES

STUDENT’S ASSOCIATION

The institution facilitates the operations of a Student Association, which has been an intricate part of our students' campus life. The elected office bearers govern the activities of the association. It is made sure there are representatives from both the undergraduate and postgraduate students of the institution.

The Student Association is governed by democratically elected student representatives. Students of the previous council conduct the election under the guidance of the Student Advisor every academic year. The process starts with the collection of nominations for various posts, scrutiny, and acceptance of nominations, announcement of election dates, conduct of elections receiving votes, counting of votes, and announcement of elected candidates. Consciously, each post is reserved for specific batches of both undergraduate and postgraduate students so as to get representatives from all the students of the institution.
