When asked about his experience, Saksham Arora, Sports Captain at Apeejay Stya University said, “Sports is as important as academics in a student’s life. This sports fest was a huge success. No classes were disturbed and all the activities took place after college hours. Hence, we created a balance between academics and extracurricular activities.”
