A recognised Students' Union. UPES recognises and supports its Students' Union with resources, mentoring and recognition, alongside student committees that give students a voice and support:
Governance input: the Student Discipline Committee works with the Proctorial Board and alerts it to ragging, substance abuse, road accidents, harassment, and racial or caste discrimination; the School of Business Student Council, an apolitical body, works for the welfare of its students.
Support for students: Gender Champions promote gender equality, and the Moot Court Committee trains law students in advocacy.
Social activities: the Sports and Cultural Committees run games, festivals and events all year, and students look after the campus nursery.
