University School of Bio Technology, [USBT] New Delhi

University School of Bio Technology (USBT) is located inside the newly constructed and recently shifted campus of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) at Dwarka. It’s about one and a half kilometre from Dwarka Sector 14 Metro station on the Blue line and can be accessed in three ways namely a 15 minute walk, a 7 rupee per person rickshaw ride or a free bus ride provided by the University itself. So in terms of accessibility it’s not bad once you manage to reach the Metro station. However, students who have previously attended classes at the Kashmere Gate campus obviously feel that this one’s too far!.The campus is a huge one with lots of open areas, refreshing gardens and sports facilities underway. The hostels are also under the pipeline and will be opened to the students by this academic year. However, there is a lack of proper parking space and the students are required to park their cars under the hot sun which turns their cars into furnaces during the summers. The library is common to all departments; it’s a two storey structure with enough space which, however, hasn’t been utilised appropriately and there are few places to sit and read books. There is wired internet connectivity in all the classrooms and labs and a fully Wi-Fi campus has been promised in the near future. All in all there has been an overall improvement in the infrastructure as compared to the old campus.
