Sports Facilities At BMU, we believe that education is about the student's overall growth, and hence we encourage all students to participate in sporting activities actively. Our Director – Sports, an Olympian, and Arjuna Awardee, has tailor-made a unique program based upon his beliefs and motto of \"Hosh, Soch aur Josh\",, i.e., Awareness, Creativity, and Passion the three essential elements in the character building of humans. Our conviction that young students need to learn life skills to prepare to handle the rumble-tumble of the harshly competitive world, and sports provide the perfect opportunities for growth to be a team player, a disciplined, healthy, balanced, and hard-working person. At BMU, we treat the sports fields as instruction tools, just as smart learning tools of academic learning like computers, audiovisual, e-books, e-library, and the internet. We make students aware of & provide direct and lifelong benefits of participating in sporting activities. Here we do not treat sports as Student Handbook: 2021-22 Page | 51
simply \"co-curricular activity\" but rather as \"core-curricular activity\" for the holistic development of a powerful personality and leader. Our campus has excellent sports infrastructure facilities, including floodlit grounds, a/c indoor hall and a well- mentoring program for athletics, badminton, basketball, chess, cricket, football, golf, kabaddi, pool, table tennis, tennis, and volleyball. The student community is divided into 4 'Quads\" named Gladiator, Roman, Spartan, and Trojan to create a spirit of healthy competition throughout the session. The internal competitions include Fresher's Challenge and Inter-Quad in all sports. At the end of the session, the BMU Inter- Quad Sports Trophy is awarded to the Quad that comes on top of the overall points tally. BMU Teams are actively encouraged to participate in Inter-university tournaments and sports festivals and make their mark with impressive results. On a BMU outreach initiative, four of the top private Universities of the Delhi NCR, namely BML Munjal University, Ashoka University, O P Jindal Global University, and Shiv Nadar University, have joined hands to formulate and start the multi-disciplinary sports \"Banyan League\". This is a sporting competition platform provided to the students at like-minded private Universities of the region, all having a global vision and engaged in the pursuit of academic excellence, to participate in a healthy competition on a level playing field. This also serves as a bridge to connect the students of the four young upcoming Universities in all the facets of student campus life. At the end of every session, the prestigious \"Banyan League\" trophy is awarded to the winner university at a grand Sports Awards function. Student Handbook: 2021-22 Page | 52

9. Intellectual Property Right (IPR) Cell BMU promotes research and innovation, for which an excellent infrastructure is in pace and an IPR Cell has been set up. To leverage its infrastructure and other ecosystems for encouraging its quest towards research and innovation, the university has provided a mechanism to ease research and innovation for its students, faculty members and researchers by having Industry IP attorneys to facilitate activities (such as filing of patents etc.) at IPR Cell. Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) are essentially legal rights that protect creations and/or inventions resulting from intellectual activity emanating from the university. The university houses several copyrighted software solely for student use. Software or datasets licensed to the university are solely for the purpose of teaching and personal educational development. The use of software/datasets for commercial purposes or sharing with unauthorised persons is a disciplinary offense. The IPR policy of the university provides guidance to the academic and non-academic staff, students (undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate) and outside sponsors on the practices and rules of university regarding intellectual property rights and obligations. This includes the nature of intellectual property, its ownership, exploitation, technology transfer and confidentiality requirements. The policy laid down in this document is expected to further the commitment of the university in providing an environment where incubation, innovation, ideation, discoveries, creative & artistic works, and tangible results of research & developmental work, can flourish, leading to the development of intellectual property. It will also enable the university to make beneficial use of the intellectual property, such developed, for the greatest possible benefit of the society, the university, and the creators involved. The work carried out by the student individually or as a team with faculty members leading to an intellectual property is protected under the IPR Policy (available on MAITRI-ERP) of the university. In case of a collaborative project sponsored by the university, private agencies or government bodies, the student(s) while working on a project must maintain strict confidentiality and should not maintain copies of any documents, files, drawings, articles, correspondence, notes, or papers concerning the research work. If you are a student of the university, then by default, all the IPRs for the work of a student rests with the university. If the work is co-sponsored by a commercial organization or any government body, the university will enter into a contractual agreement with the organization to cover IPR related provisions. Till now a total of 69 patents have been filed with Indian patent office, out of (which 32 have been published and six are being processed for examination by the Indian patent office.

11. Career Guidance & Development Centre Finding a path is very important than walking on one. The Career Guidance and Development Center (CGDC) at BMU is dedicated paving a way for its students for their holistic development. CGDC is very carefully envisaging a promising pathway for the students to aim, achieve, and excel in their careers.

A team of experienced professionals from CGDC is in a continuous endeavor to engage industry and academia, throughout the academic year. BMU has established a strong platform of practice schools during the whole academic cycle of each student from various disciplines. The CGDC team supports each student to undertake this program very seriously through a rigorous and process-oriented system. Each student undergoes experiential learning through industry live projects and gets much wider exposure in the application of their respective field. This platform helps students to earn not only a meaningful project, but also direct placement offers with the organisation. Additionally, the CGDC organises various training programs under soft skills, aptitude, reasoning ability, mathematics to train each student to crack the initial screening test as conducted by companies for final campus Student Handbook: 2021-22 Page | 65
placements. They also guide each student to prepare for technical aspects with the support of respective schools and departments for better conversion on the final campus placements. BML Munjal University consider entrepreneurship as fundamentally having control over one’s destiny. There are students whose desires would be stoked if only they had the resources on hand to further develop these passions. Our students have strong potential, and we want them to move from being job-seekers to job-enablers. While we would encourage entrepreneurships, it is evident that not all who opt for it actually succeed. CGDC instituted the Deferred Placement Policy provision to offer career opportunity later to such students. Applicability of the Deferred Placement Policy a) Applicable for all final year BMU students, who wants to become an entrepreneur b) Eligibility Criteria: Minimum CGPA 6.0 and above with no backlogs, Not debarred from placements. c) Students looking for deferred placement shall submit their ideas/synopsis of his/her entrepreneurship program before the deadline declared by CGDC. d) Location for entrepreneurship–Off-campus/In-campus (Depending upon Project Concept) e) The eligible students need to make a presentation to the selection committee (SC) on what opportunity/idea they intend to work upon.
