A day with Vice-chancellor

Updated on: Monday, February 13, 2012

For Devaang Sibal, 18, the one-day internship at the vice-chancellor's office was hectic, though he revels in the royal treatment he received at the VC's office. Sibal, one of the two students who interned at Dinesh Singh's (VC, DU) office, found that the pace of work was fast here, unlike other departments in the university.

"We started the day by fixing a slight stench, which was giving trouble in the washroom of the office. I suggested using a particular acid to fix the stink, and it worked. But, it was a humbling experience, with the VC assisting us through the process," says Sibal, who is a first-year BCom (H) student of Hindu College.

Later, stationed for an hour at the central reception office, Sibal had to take calls, messages and fix appointments , and also do some paperwork , which was followed by lunch. "I must say we had a great lunch with the VC and his team at the university guest house. It was a lavish four-course meal," he says.

The interns then had to attend a meeting that was on and had to give their inputs before a decision was taken. Also, they were on web chat at the computer centre, responding to around 150 odd queries of students who were eager to find out about the internship opportunity at the VC's office.

"I learnt that being a man of responsibility, you need to be decisive and keep a clear head," concludes Sibal.
