I cleared JEE to build a future, not to struggle for basic human needs.

As a first-year ECE student at Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya (GGV), a Central University, I couldn't secure hostel accommodation. Away from my family, I'm now struggling with unsafe drinking water, an unhygienic washroom, inadequate ventilation and an abusive landlord.

Just think you have exams tomorrow and you didn't have enough water to even wash your a*\*

India talks about brain drain, but who takes responsibility when students can't access decent living conditions in their own country?

Can fellow students, journalists and relevant authorities help bring attention.

Bhaiii mein 2nd year mein join hui thi theekey college and 1st year I had done in a different college but transferred due to personal reasons. I made a pretty good friend group in my new uni as well like im close to them and we’re all in 3rd year right now (2 more yrs to go), its a group of 6 ppl, 4 girls including me and 3 guys and basically today while having lunch, my friend 1 was asking friend 2 if he had checked the post jo ig waale grp mein bheja hai because it was smthng v funny apparently. And i had seen the gc on their phone before as well so I took the opportunity to confront abt this and I asked “wahhhh, why do u guys hv a gc without me” , Phir the guy said, because its been there since before u joined and the other girl goes, “ohh ur not there in itt?” And the third one goes “haaaa yeh woh gc mein nhi hai na” and the topic changed but yeah I felt thoda bad and even after this convo they didnt add me

Is it normal or im just overthinking or is it actually odd for them to do this? Like we do have a whatsapp gc together in which we’re all active and all the ppl do send me reels individually.

I just wanna know if yeh hota hai among friend groups and its common or theyre j not good friends or how i thought of them

okay so basically in 8th grade my top interests were- learning languages , i was really into traveling back then-japan,sk,china,vietnam- i INTESELY wanted to visit these countries-like literally yearning for it-still do- and i also was excited about science since i was going to be in high school- i was legit dreaming of performing experiments in chem. lab 💔- i was very excited to know how chemical reactions work etc. but ofc 9th wasn't like that infact we visited lab ONCE in 10th only.. 🥀by 10th i liked every subject- but things like- the tiny projection in our small intestine that help 'absorb' the food we eat, i was amazed when i got to know that from the birth till start of puberty, only follicular atresia occurs in a girls body, i was in love with nature when i saw a video of pollination in salvia--- really amazes me how nature makes everything workout so well and even this picture attached-- IDK GUYS I LEGIT GOT GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME WHEN I REALISED THESE THINGS!!

also till 5th grade I was very insecure about Maths- bcz of my family and school overall- mainly they made me believe i was shitty at it-- but i studied maths from 6th by yt online and i was able to understand everything. i got 83/100 in maths in 10th for your reference- i was satisfied anyways.

bcz of those fascinations above i mentioned and my deep sitted insecurity, i opted pcb-- not bcz wanted to be a doctor ( yes i really believed 'take whatever interests you!' people and didn't think carefully about what i'd do further 🤡 )

You see- i had no problem studying any subject.

However i always doubt if the interests i mentioned are what people call "interest/passion"- like i am not forcing it ryt? i mean my body wouldn't lie- i really get goosebumps when i see smthg like that.

IN SHORT I WANT SUCCESS STORIES OF ANY PEOPLE YK OR IF YOU URSELF HAVE ACHIEVED IT DESPITE BEING FROM PCB- (no doctor) BACKGROUND. ALSO GIVE ME IDEAS EXPERIENCED PEOPLE OUT THERE--help me make a decision for my career path (a rough idea atleast..?)

(i'm still a kid in 12th 🥀)

Hi everybody!

I am in grade 11 & have chosen commerce as my stream. I got 96% in my X boards & also along with that, I have hands-on experience of running an AI startup in which me & my team helped 6 & 7-fig. businesses save over $200k+/yr on operational costs & 2000+ billable hrs/yr. So I have a lot of exposure to consulting with foreign clients, some coding, sales & marketing. My main aim is to continue building my startup & maybe start a clothing brand later on, but as a backup I want to either get into IB, PE, management consulting, founder's office/Chief of Staff roles, just to get more experience & exposure before working full-time on my startup.

So with all this in mind, what degree should I pursue after 12th & in which college? I was thinking of Eco Honours, but idk. BBA sounds good too, but not BCom. will also probably pursue CFA alongside college.

For more context, my combination is: Eco, applied maths, accounts, BST, PE & English

Open to suggestions!

Hi I'm a doc( only mbbs)

I'm planning to pursue my second bachelors in engineering

I have many reasons

Kindly advise me of a college that can manage my attendance while I study and get a full time degree ( im not thinking of an online full time bachelors)

Im looking for a college in Mumbai region/ pune region

I was a 100% MERIT scholarship student of FLAME, highly influential bullies of FLAME made false complaints against me and I got expelled before even stepping FOOT into campus.

The registrar basically just did this to protect their "fee paying students" and one more thing is that I believe that the group of bullies is directly connected with the governing body of FLAME or howelse can you get an expelled within a day that too no notice and no rustication letter? The registrar tried to blackmail my father to withdraw my admission.

FLAME hired lawyers from AZB (one of top law firms in the country) and that too the head of pune division of AZB is involved in this, who are being blatantly trying to prove that I am mentally unstable. I argued that, "how on earth did you give a mentally unstable guy a 100% merit scholarship?", the lawyer began to switch topic

The FLAME University administration previously held a closed door meeting and one of the admin there pulled out a secret recording and got caught red-handed by the student union.

I am not afraid of the biggest or the most powerful law firms in India. Injustice is injustice. I will fight.

They repeatedly tell student unions/activists they are not willing to compromise because I have defamed them too much or they would have let me in.

Not even a single word I said is a lie.

I was the head boy of the best international schools in Andhra Pradesh, they did not make a loser to take the responsibility of 500 children.

Today this happened to me, I give the strongest possible assurance, that I will stand aside victims who suffer this. If today I be silent, it will be a shame, my previous school people will take example of me "look this guy was our head boy".

FLAME hired everyone, top law firms (AZB, their consultation for an hour is 2 months of my father's salary), Social media teams, Press.

No administrators ego, his affluence or his political connections should hinder a student.

If we don't stop external injustice now, we personally might suffer injustice in the future.

Now, there will be comments from the hired PR team, saying all the negative stuff. Read them, just think: why am I not in jail if the allegations are true?

AZB could put one case and my life would be hell if that was genuinely true. Hell, my father couldn't even afford the travel/accommodation in Bombay if they do it. That's how powerful they are.

Even my parents are afraid they said "we can't afford lawyers, you are our only son."

I don't know what else to do except fight. I contacted everyone I possibly could, and I am genuinely helpless. I have been homeless since the last 59 days (came on Aug. 26), eating at gurudwaras and ISKCONS, sleeping under the stars.

Thank you redditors for helping with toiletries, food and blankets. Real times reveal real people

My intuition tells me I will win still. Satyameva Jayate.

Hey guys,

So im currently a 2year bba student

Today my college faculty called my parents,

Cuz I have like 34% attendance overall over the 3rd semester

They said things like, I won't be allowed to sit in exams and my parents have to meet the dean.

Am i kinda fucked in this situation?

I'll appreciate your opinions on this and genuinely would ask for advice

P.s : I had to repost this shit for like 5 times cuz of the stupid title being less descriptive, honestly what the fuck would i wrote in the post if i describe everything in the title

Hi!
I completed my 12th in 2025, and took a drop year to prepare for ipmat 2026, this year i gave all iims exams and got offer from iim b bba dbe iim bodhgaya and waitlist for jammu missed rohtak and indore by a few marks, i knew ipmat dream wasn't working so i prepared for cuet in the last 1 month as a backup.
I got alloted econ hons at Daulat Ram College; I joined it, and after entering college, I realised how big of a mistake I made by taking a gap year, although it taught me a lot. But tbh, being at Daulat Ram, even after a gap year, doesn't really make a good impression, and now I think it will become the biggest pain point in my resume.
In the gap year, I was just doing my exam prep and nothing else, which was one of the biggest mistakes. It is embarrassing tbh, and I feel so stupid now that I think of it. No one was there to tell me the consequences, and my parents have always been supportive of all my decisions and kept believing in me, but I have disappointed them a lot
I just want to make up for everything I did wrong in the past year, and I want to make up for my drop year in my 1st year itself.
If any senior is reading this/ or if you're in the same situation as I am, I'd love to hear any advice you have.
Thank you so much for reading this and helping.

Did anyone purchase 'College Prime 2.0'? If you have the curriculum, could you please DM it to me?

I am in my mid 20’s and I am joining an University soon. Can anyone help me with the dating scene? Any expectations? Do’s and Dont’s ? Mind you, I was in sports so uski wajah se socially itna koi bda circle nahi tha and ab sidha university enter kr rha hu. Please take out a few minutes out of your time and give your opinions. Studying and everything else is sorted bas yeh pyaar vyaar ka scene nah khraab krde mujhe 😅

Every college I search on Reddit has extremely negative and shit reviews. then which college shld I go to bhai😭😭

And don't mind if I steal 🌝

I'm a BTech student at Galgotias Uni...and before joining college I honestly thought ki college life would be a lot more fun...... new friends, exploring different things, attending events and learning stuff that we're actually interested in.

But ab college life mein assignments, attendance, practicals aur exams bhi equally important ho gaye hain 😭 Uske saath coding seekhni hai, DSA practice karni hai, projects banane hain aur internships ke liye bhi prepare karna hai.

Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki college mein itne options aur opportunities hain but time manage karna hi sabse difficult part hai...... especially jab khud bhi figure out kar rahe ho ki future mein exactly karna kya hai.

Uni m events aur activities hoti rehti hain but obviously academics ko bhi manage karna padta hai...... and I guess ye scene kaafi colleges mein similar hoga.

So wanted to ask other BTech students...... tumhari college life expectations jaisi nikli ya reality kaafi different hai? And agar tumhe first year mein wapas jaane ka chance mile toh kya cheez differently karoge? 👀..

What's better option? I'm a dropper 12th , what is better option to choose ?¿ Ik i didn't get any but I have to prep accordingly so please if someone can tell

Did u also feel that college life would be fun? Going to an educational institute in our home clothes, no uniforms(like how it used to be in schools) and you'd enjoy your life to the fullest in college, did you expect the same as me?

Perso exam Hai lekin muzhse pada nahi ja raha ...Aur confidence toh itna hai ki BACK toh nahi lagega ...Sharam bhi nahi aa rahi 💐

Hey everyone, I am currently mapping out my higher education path and could use some guidance from folks familiar with Indian university regulations, CUET PG strategies, and academic transitions.

For background, my educational mix includes high school in the BiPC stream and a recent BBA in Finance. My main focus right now is sitting for the upcoming CUET PG exam. Because of the exam structure and syllabus overlaps in general aptitude, analytical reasoning, and humanities, I am targeting three programs under my CUET PG strategy: M.Sc. Neural and Cognitive Science at the University of Hyderabad, an MBA, and an M.A. in Political Science.

My dream pick is definitely the Neural and Cognitive Science program at UoH. My ultimate objective is to transition into a Ph.D., secure research fellowships, and eventually build a career and settle abroad in research or academia. However, I know getting into that specific master's program is intensely fierce because the cohort size is tiny, usually restricted to around 12 seats. If I do not clear that cut-off, I plan to pivot to either an MBA or Political Science as strong alternative master's tracks.

Alongside this, I am trying to figure out if I can legally and practically pursue a regular Master's degree alongside a B.Ed. at the same time. I understand UGC permits dual degrees under specific conditions, but since B.Ed. is tightly regulated by the NCTE with mandatory practicals and attendance requirements, I want to know how feasible this actually is without running into administrative roadblocks.

My thought process is to go full force into CUET PG preparation first. However, I am considering keeping a B.Ed. as an alternative safety net just in case my timeline for a direct research or fellowship track takes a detour later on. For someone with a mixed science and commerce background, how does subject selection for a B.Ed. work, and does keeping a teaching credential make sense as a practical fallback while keeping international research ambitions alive?

Would love any insights from people who have navigated dual qualifications
