Student Life and CultureStudents of UM-DAE CEBS, known as CBScients, reside at Anna Bhau Sathe Bhawan,the newly built pre-fabricated housing structures in the Mumbai University campus and in the New Hostel Block. Library, common room, maintenance and mess facilities are provided by the institute. In addition, students can use the sports facilities provided by CEBS as well as the University.

Besides, every Tuesday, a colloquium is organised in the institute through which students get a chance to interact with eminent scientists and are exposed to the latest research works happening all around the world. Also, many educational trips are organised round the year, including visits and camps at scientific and research institutions around the nation. For the all round development and to promote healthy interaction among students, clubs like science club, music club, arts club and literary club are set up by the students which regularly organise events. Each club organises certain events throughout the year. The science club organises Rendezvous sessions, as well as lecture sessions with eminent scientists.
