Life in IIT-BHU: JEE Main, JEE Advanced 2023, Hostel Life, Clubs, Sports Activities, Labs
From adjusting into the hostel to making friends and becoming a part of clubs, here's what a look at Priyanshi Goyal's life at IIT BHU.
While coming from Kota has its advantages — like from an early age I knew about IIT and AIIMS. It also makes you believe that it is necessary to join a coaching to clear IIT JEE Advanced. However, college gave a new perspective when I met so many students who have cracked the entrance exam through self-study.
I was super excited to live in a different city, although I knew it was not going to be easy. I had never done anything by myself — from washing my clothes to making my bed. It took me some time to settle down. Initial days were struggling. I had to do everything on my own. And, in addition to that, I have to share my room and personal space with other girls.
I have got a triple sharing room with three beds, three tables but only two cupboards. Therefore, equal division of space required more than just mathematical skills, as our respective families packed a lot of stuff. Initially, we had issues with space but eventually we realised that the room does not belong solely to one. Earlier, as we were strangers, there were some minor disagreements. But, as you develop a friendship, everything becomes easy.
Hostels are different for each year students. First year and second year students stay in different hostels, third and fourth years stay in one hostel as it is newly built and has a larger capacity.
Since all first year students stay in one hostel, we went everywhere together — be it the mess, the canteen, the orientation programme, the classes. Seniors tell us that it’s like a trend every year. The first year students roam together and you can spot them from a distance.
