A friend of mine used to stay at the Mandela Hostel. It had attached bathrooms and laundry service as well. The hostel is costly and the quality of food at the hostel is also good. 

The features of Mandela Hostel and Vivekananda Hostel are:

• The rooms of Mandela Hostel are spacious and are of better quality. One room is given to two occupants. 
• Mandela Hostel does not have balconies but the Vivekananda Hostel does.
• Mandela Hostel provides a nice view of the campus. The view changes based on your room in the Vivekananda Hostel.
• In addition to that, there is also a barbershop in the Mandela hostel and a café. There is unity among the students who live in Mandela.

The atmosphere of the Mandela Hostel is calm mainly because students of different states live and mingle among themselves. Vivekananda Hostel is for the freshers which give it a very warm and friendly atmosphere.

One of my seniors from school used to be a student of Sharda University and from what she has told me, the university has very good campus and the hostel facilities are some of the best he has come across. She spent a week thereafter graduation. Some of the features are:

• The entire campus of Sharda University is wifi enabled.
• The food from the mess is decent.
• There are double/triple sharing rooms in the hostels.
• There are several canteens within the campus.
• There are students from different countries like Afghanistan, Ethiopia, etc., making interaction with various nationalities possible
• During the month of Ramadan, there are separate food arrangements for students.
• Facilities for sports like basketball, football, cricket, etc are also in the campus.

Greater Noida is developed and if you are an outsider it would be a good idea if you take the hostel right after admission. The infrastructure of the university is amazing and there are AC/non AC rooms in the hostels as well. In addition to that, there are attached as well as common washrooms for the students. The hostels have laundries too where the first few washes are free for the students.

One of my friends was confused while taking admission to Sharda University, after coming across bad comments. But, he stuck to his decision and took admission there, and now he is happy. 

Here is his insight on the Sharda University based on his experience. 

Academics: 

• Academics are excellent and better than most colleges in greater Noida, all because of the dedication, hard work, and supportive nature of the faculty of the college. 
• The staff is very much supportive and helpful. You can clear your doubts after the class in their respective cabins or you can even send them a mail regarding your query. 

Activities: 

• CHORUS (annual techno-cultural fest) one of the largest cultural festivals of North India. It witnesses the participation of around 35,000 students from over 238 colleges and universities from all over the world. 
• Sharda University does not simply ensure the participation of the students but, also involves students in the management team to teach the real-time tasks to manage the events successfully. 
• Some other fests as well are - CONTRIVANCE- For computer science department; CONSTRUCTO- For civil department; MEDIAMELA- For BJMC

Placement: 

• Placement varies every year from student to student according to profile and individual performance. 
• The highest package of the year 2020 is INR 65 lacs per annum with a high placement rate of above 80%. 
• More than 350 recruiters took part in the placement process. 

So, great to study at Sharda University in terms of academics, activities, and placements.

There is no doubt that Sharda University is one of the well-known universities providing on-campus recruitments. But if you think of pursuing a BBA, you should have a clear vision regarding your future. 

One of my friends who studied at Sharda University mentioned that the BBA program provides an in-depth knowledge of management theory & practices. They also give adequate industry exposure.

• The curriculum is designed after studying the ongoing trends and demands of the industry. 
• The program offers to learn through a credit-based strategy. 
• They are encouraged to develop an application-oriented approach which results to be more practical and useful. 

It should be well planned as BBA would not allow you to work with prestigious brands. One such option that you can go with, after completing your BBA is MBA that provides you ample opportunities to enter into the corporate world.

The MBBS degree is offered by the School of Medical Science & Research (SMS&R), Sharda University, Greater Noida. It is among the best private medical schools in North India. There are a few things which make it a good school.

• Sharda has a great setup. The campus is huge. The infrastructure of the college is great. Individual departments are well-equipped with all necessary amenities. For example, the Anatomy department has all the models, bones, preserved organs in ample numbers. Physiology and Biochemistry have all the necessary labs.
• The lecture halls are good. Classes are usually PPTs with little board works.
• The professors have decades of experience, you can go through the official website to check their profile. The junior staffs are also quite cooperative.
• For OPD, the hospital has good number of patients but surgeries are uncommon. It is one of the disadvantages of the institute.
• You will have a good peer group at the institute. The hostels are decent, food provided at the mess is better than other private institutes.
• Unlike most private institutes, money is not the sole requirement to have a degree here. Everything is done according to the MCI regulations.

Sharda is definitely the best private institute in North India but it is not at the same level as BVP or DY Patil.
