International Academy of Sport Science and Technology Mumbai Campus: Photos, Virtual Tour

AISTS has campuses all across the world and started in India recently. The iconic building with state-of-the-art classrooms and IT technology that never seen before is what I saw at college. The college perhaps knew that Covid would come, and therefore, the classes were built that already maintained social distancing. Since we are taught sports management, the first thing that we were taught was to stay fit. The college building has a world-class gym, and spending an hour there daily was mandatory. There's also a world-class swimming pool, and getting refreshed there before leaving the college was an everyday thing. There was a steam room and shower room as well. The canteen with an iconic view of the sea face was one of the best. The food served was mostly healthy as oily food items, and junk food was not available at the canteen. The college management even told us to avoid having any such things because to be a part of such an industry, even if you are not a sportsperson, fitness was the key. I never felt like I am at any college because it was like a corporate building equipped with facilities to pamper the students.

Students mostly maintained social distancing as we all were competing against each other. This was indeed a part of the program as to survive as a sportsperson is a huge ask. First of all, the shelf life of a sportsperson is less and to make the most of it while they are at their best were some of the drills we were taught as students. Our engagement with our intern company was taken seriously, and the whole game of placement was dependent on that. The total batch was of 30 students, and I don't know the names of even 10 students. Hence, life at AISTS was more like isolation and a picture of leading our life ahead.Read Full Review
