A new chapter begins for BAJMC Class of 2022

By Smriti Goyal

They are RJs. They are actors. They are PR professionals. They are copywriters. They are the graduation batch of Times School of Media Class of 2022.

‘Excitement’, ‘Overwhelming’, ‘Unbelievable’ and ‘Learnings’ are the words students used to describe their feelings on their graduation.

Omanshi Sabharwal, winner of the Vice-Chancellor’s gold medal for excellence in academics from Times School of Media spoke about her time at Bennett. “Being the vice president in university’s student council, I’ve always arranged things, so it was a little weird and exciting too to come back to the college being on the other side of the table.”

Every end is a new beginning, and the batch of 2022 expressed it very well at the 4^th Convocation ceremony of Bennett University. Placards like ‘College khatm! Earnings shuru!’ were arranged at the photo booth for the students. They had a mixed feeling of curiousness and nervousness on moving out of the comforts of college life. All of them said that it’s still hard to accept that they are graduates now. The shift from a college student to a professional is difficult, but they were excited for their life ahead.

Many described their college life as a roller-coaster ride but something they enjoyed. When asked about one thing they will always thank Bennett for, some said it’s the real-life learnings but most of them thanked the people they met here. Whether a faculty member or their colleagues, they thanked everyone for being there.

Anmol Singh, Class of 2022, said she would miss her friends and hanging out late for practices while Ritvik Kapoor, a batchmate, said he would miss missing classes and chilling in his hostel room. Navneet Khurana, also from the Class of 2022, now an RJ with Radio Mirchi, said he would miss the opportunities and learnings he got from the University. Aryan Bajaj, an aspiring actor, said he was inspired by Ranveer Singh’s speech and would work hard on making it big in Bollywood.

The batch of 2022 bid an emotional farewell to their Alma Mater and were ready to start a new chapter of their lives.
