Some hostel + daily expense doubts.

Hey everyone,
I’m joining UPES Kindoli campus this year for BBA and will probably take the official hostel (double sharing attached washroom, non-AC).

Just had a few quick doubts:

  • Are kettles and induction allowed in hostels?
  • How strict are hostel checks?
  • Also, realistically, how much monthly pocket money is enough for a decent student lifestyle including occasional cafes, outings, ordering food, and misc expenses — without overspending unnecessarily? 😭

Would appreciate honest answers from current students/seniors.

what kind of wardrobe

Hey guys,
I’m joining UPES Kindoli campus this year for BBA and I’m confused about what kind of wardrobe I should actually build for Dehradun weather.

I’ll probably join around July/August, and I don’t want to spend too much on summer clothes and then regret it after 2 months if winters start early 😭

Can seniors guide me on things like:

  • From Aug–Dec, do you mostly wear summer clothes or winter clothes?
  • Around when does the weather actually start getting cold?
  • Should I focus more on tees/polos or hoodies/overshirts?
  • How many winter clothes are realistically needed for hostel life? Also if possible, can someone suggest a practical beginner wardrobe structure for a fresher? Something like:
  • how many tees
  • hoodies
  • jeans/cargos
  • shorts
  • shoes etc.

Trying to build a smart wardrobe instead of randomly overbuying clothes 😭

Few genuine doubts about the overall college life there.

Hey everyone,
I’m joining UPES this year for BBA at Kindoli campus and had a few genuine doubts about the overall college life there.

Would love honest opinions from seniors/students about:

  • How’s the overall crowd in BBA?
  • Is the environment fun/social or more boring/isolated?
  • How are the fests and events at UPES? Are they actually enjoyable or just average?
  • What’s student life like after classes?
  • How are the cafes and food options inside/around campus?
  • I’m planning to take the official hostel (double sharing attached washroom, non-AC room). Is it worth it?
  • How strict are hostels regarding entry timings, outings, visitors, etc.?
  • How’s the hostel food honestly? Manageable or terrible?
  • Also, if anyone has lived in that room type specifically, how was the experience?

Would appreciate real answers instead of brochure-type promotion 😭

Title: Christ University interview in few hours. I’m cooked?

My interview for Christ University is in a few hours at Delhi NCR campus and I’m genuinely stressed.

According to ChatGPT, my profile/interview skills are around 6/10. This is also the 3rd round, which probably means fewer seats left and they’ll obviously be selecting the best candidates now.

I can answer basic questions decently but I’m scared I’ll mess up under pressure or look average compared to others. Seeing people talk about limited seats is making it worse.

Anyone here who got selected despite not having a “perfect” profile/interview? How strict are they actually in the final rounds?

Need honest answers, not fake motivation 😭
