The Student Council is constituted by representatives of students chosen from all the students of the University. The number of the members in the University Student Council may vary every academic year based on the new programmes introduced by the University. If the number of students in a class is 40 or less only one member is represented and in case of class strength of more than 40, two members represent a class, a male and a female student. The Student Council acts as a responsible and collaborative body contributing to the Vision, Mission, Core Values and Graduate Attributes of the University and refrains from being an association or a bargaining agency of the students. The Principal may dissolve the Council at his discretion at any time prior or during its functional duration.

All the students of the university are evaluated based on 6Cs, namely competence, commitment, creativity, collaboration, compassion and conscience. Based on the aggregate score, six students (three boys and three girls) are nominated to contest in the election for the student council. On the day of the election, during the foundation and mentoring classes, the six nominated members address their respective classes, articulating their dreams for the university. After their sharing, voting takes place under the supervision of the Mentor. Then the ballots are counted, and the boy and the girl who get the highest number of votes are declared winners.

The University Management nominates a few students from the third year to the students' Council. It is based on criteria such as academic performance, percentage of attendance, participation in events and activities of the department, holistic skills and good standing among the student community. The elected members and the nominated members collectively constitute the Students' Council. And they elect the student cabinet.

The Cabinet shall consist of the following members and roles:

• President: He/She will be the Chief Executive of the Student Council and will function in all matters relating to the Council in accordance with the University rules.
• Vice-President: He/She will assist the President and act as the Chief Executive in the absence of the President.
• Secretary: He/She shall maintain the records of all the meetings and assist the President in conducting the meetings smoothly.
• Treasurer: He/She shall maintain the accounts of the Council and assist the President in managing the finances.

At the end of every year the incumbent Student Council hands over its functions to the new Student Council for the ensuing year.

During the first or second weekend after the commencement of the academic year, the newly inducted council members are given an orientation for a period of two days. Attendance for the orientation is compulsory and absence results in automatic termination of the member and a new member is appointed for the post unless the absentee has informed the Registrar in advance through an email and the reason for absence is valid and approved by the Registrar.
