And winner of Miss and Mr Fresher are Niharika Lal of BA (JMC) and Utkarsh Gangwalia (BTech). But wait... There was one more winner this year. Ananya Arora (BA Liberal Arts) was crowned Mx Fresher.

Femina Miss India Meghalaya 2022 Gargee Nandy and model, actor and entrepreneur Rushil Dudeja announced the winners. In the history of the university, for the first time there were three winners on the night of fresher’s party, representing the third gender.

Every year the freshers look forward to the biggest bash on campus for them, Bluemoon, where they get to showcase their talent, get to watch seniors perform for them and win the coveted crown of Miss and Mr Fresher. This year was Version 7.0 of this popular event at Bennett University.

The theme was ‘Vogue’ and the freshers danced to every beat of DJ Khushi. The ambience of the party changed into applause and cheer when the Miss Fresher, Mr Fresher and Mx Fresher 2022 were announced.

The night started with Vice Chancellor Prabhu Aggarwal wishing the freshers a fun party. COO Sudhanshu Verma said “Jyada padhai nahi karne ka, bas class me bina phone ke jana, exam me number aa jayenge, enjoy this golden period of your life.”

The four emcees Sherya, Prafull, Krishika and Aryan kept the audience engaged throughout the event. Performances started with a quick dance on DoctorG’s song, followed by Rivaaz’s (classical dance club) bhangra, rap by Omji Dubey and Saurabh Mishra and a dance performance by Verve’s secretary Prachi Tiwari and team.

The highlight of the night was the title contest of Miss, Mr and Mx Fresher. The 10 shortlisted contestants electrified the ramp with their ramp walk. Then, came the final step to the crown, for which they answered a question from the jury.
“It feels great that a transgender was announced as Mx Fresher. I enjoyed the preparation period, and every one was very supportive,” said Ananya, winner of Mx Fresher.
“Welcoming this huge number of juniors was not easy without the help of my team which has been working for the last four weeks,” said Arnav Batra, the President of student council. The student council asked the freshers to enrol for Talent Hunt to find the most deserving fresher.
Out of 200 registrations, 10 were shortlisted for the ramp walk on the D-day.
Femina Miss India Meghalaya 2022 Gargee urged the freshers to be rebellious for good cause. “This cheerful night is making me miss my college days, amazing performers, organisers and audience,” she said.
The freshers then danced to the beats of DJ Khushi, bringing the curtains down on another exciting Bluemoon night.
