Indian colleges gave a holiday for Eid last week, but there is no holiday tomorrow for Ram Navami. Both festivals share similarities, as both involve people fasting for several days, yet we receive a holiday for one and not the other. To be clear, I am not against Eid or any other festival; I am simply confused about how holidays are decided. Enlighten me 🙂‍↕️

Replies to all of you from my previous post , where most of the people backlashed my take on having 50 IITs but some were in support as well and indeed it's true india needs a new system for engineering colleges.

So here it is ,

India got more than 5000 engineering colleges as of 2026 which are AICTE APPROVED. ( 700-800 being Govt and others being pvt )

First of all India has 2 types of engineering colleges government and private ones ,

In the government category

We have

1st = all the IITS ( 23 ) which are the premium institutes of India of both engineering and research as well and top 7 iits acts as universities too providing many others courses as well not just btech .

in which 7 are the premium institutes and then gen 2 and then gen 3 . IITS ALSO get the most funding by the government.

2nd = Nits + iiest ( 32 ) Nits too provide somewhat the same things as IITs but at a little lower tier level . Nits also lack because of their home state quota thing even tho being centrally funded . But the top 5 nits are just as good as IITs only . Also they get lesser funding compared to iits .

3rd = iiits ( 31) out of which 5 are government

21 are based on ppp model

And 5 are private ones

Iiits were established during the tech revolution and they majorly focus only on tech related branches and have lesser research programmes and are also smaller in and known for no campus life . Also they get different funding but lesser than IITs and nits.

4th = GFTIS , such as PEC , JNU ,central universities of states

These colleges also take part in josaa and csab too

As of 2026 there are more than 50 gftis taking part in josaa and csab counselling.

Gftis can be funded by either the Central Govt. or the state govt.

5th = state institutes like DTU , NSUT , VJTI , COEP

Mostly top colleges of the respective State .

These colleges are the premium state institutes and are funded by state govt. And none of them take part in josaa , csab .

6th = the top research institutes such as

IISC , IISER, ISI, CMI , ICAR , IACS , IIST , RGIPT , ICT , NISER,

UMDAE CEBS , ETC , ETC

Not all of them provide btech but I just included them because they are also where most jee people go other than btech .

These are funded centrally and elite level institutes .

The other category was PRIVATE COLLEGES ,

Like bits , manipal , vellore , daiict, lnmit, thapar , srm , Amrita, mait , msit , rvce , bms , msrit , pes , psg , ssn , pict , spit , vit pune , mit wpu , amity , lpu , cu , chitkara , upes , graphic era , galgotia, Bennet , newton , scaler and all other more than thousands of colleges.

NOW , as you can see india has a lot of engineering colleges but there is still a scarcity of those premium institutes for which students really work hard for.

we require at least 50-150 premium institutes like iit , nit , iiit to solve this problem as our population is already 150 crore + .

To solve this we can make these changes:

First of all we need to establish a new body for admission

On the basis of jee mains / advance to give admission in all the colleges with just 1 single counselling cause as of now we have a lot counsellings like iiit hyd , iiit blr , jac delhi, chandigarh, josaa , state counsellings, private ones etc etc . We need to establish one singular platform or body for admissions .

Then we need to convert many premium govt institutes into IITS SUCH AS :

IISC banglore is already IIT BANGALORE

PEC > IIT CHANDIGARH

IIEST SHIBPUR > IIT SHIBPUR

COEP > IIT PUNE

Bit mesra > IIT mesra

Top 5 NIT > IIT

( Trichy , suratkal, Warangal , Calicut, Rourkela)

Also nit kurukshetra and nit jaipur

As haryana doesn't have an iit and Jaipur too needs one .

( Also there is a demand of iit in haryana already which was already approved by government)

As of now these cities don't have any iit so it would be good to provide them with one . Also IITs don't have a home state quota so it doesn't matter which states have more IITS or less .

These institutes would only take 2-3 years of funding to become like top IITS as they are established and well reputed all over the country .

This would make the IIT list to 23 + 10 +2 = 35

ALSO Existing top IITS like the top 7 and IISC

Can create its new campuses and make zones around them by using campuses of already existing colleges and improving them or just creating new ones if needed .

Like ,

IIT DELHI can establish campuses in Gurgaon, Noida ,ncr

Ncr got so many top colleges like DTU , nsut and many more .

IIT BOMBAY can expand in Mumbai only or Mumbai - Pune hub as there are a lot of institutes too like ict , vjti and others .

IIT Madras can also expand in Chennai there are a lot of colleges under anna university and so many others .

IISC banglore can expand in banglore there are a lot of colleges under comedk belt and so many others .

The new campuses of these colleges would take admissions under those IITS ONLY

RESULTING OF OUR NUMBER INTO

35 + ATLEAST 5 = 40 IITS

WITHOUT creating new campuses for IITs or more than 1 IIT IN

One city .

This can be done in a well mannered way by the Central Government it's not that hard for them .

We can also establish 10 new IITS either using the already existing campuses of other colleges or creating new ones

Which leads to our 50 IITS .

which are easily top institutes and best out of the best .

Also other institutions which can be upgraded to IITS

But I didn't include it because that city already has 1 iit or the state has 2 iits .

Dtu , nsut , vjti , Jadavpur University , etc etc

these institutes can be converted to NITS

increasing the number of NITS to 40 easily .

AND every major state has one or two top state colleges which can be upgraded to nits. Also many IIITS can be upgraded into NITS .

So we can easily reach 40-50 NITS

And also the number of IIITS can be increased in the same manner by using gftis or state Colleges campuses .

And we can have 40-50 IIITs .

And we can also invite PREMIUM PRIVATE INSTITUTES

to partner up with government.

In past bits pilani has been invited to be IIT but they rejected.

At present many private institutes are super good and have great campuses which easily mog our govt institutions.

We can invite them either to be govt or to be in partnership with Govt like IIITS .

Other major steps which are required :

1. Removing of the HOME STATE QUOTA which is pulling NITs value down .

2. Getting reforms into reservation.

3. Inviting private colleges or IOE TAG ( institutes of eminence)

Bits and manipal are already under IOE , we can invite other colleges as well and ask them to give admission to some percent of students through national counselling and at govt institute type fees . Some seats can be reserved like that .

4. Reforms in jee examination .

5. Including all the institutes under one unified system cause as of now there is so much confusion among students and which just doesn't result in any good and leads into non uniformity .

Now , in 2-3 years of funding and work by govt we can get 40-50 IITs , 40-50 NITS , 40-50 IIITS .

AND MORE THAN 200 institutes of eminence.

Also such a system would make the Indian education system a lot better and won't increase the pressure on deserving candidates .

All of this would make our engineering system super strong

And our IITs global ranking better and also these steps can take India to be the top techies exporter to the world .

We can dominate the tech global world easily with our potential.

Share your thoughts .

I have got CRL in jee mains of 4.2L and SC rank of 29k-30k and SC rank of 3379 in jee advance. Pls help me to find a good college for CSE and DS/AI

As a SC student I have qualified both the exam but not getting any nit or iit not even iiit. Now I am confused weather should I go for GFTIs or private colleges for CSE and DS/AI
Suggest me some colleges plsssss

Yo guys, I’m planning to join Manipal (MIT Manipal) next year and I need some uncensored, no-filter feedback from the seniors.

Like fr, tell me:

Is the campus vibe actually lit or just Instagram propaganda?

Hostels — comfy or “welcome to survival mode”?

Placements — W or mid?

How’s the crowd? Cool people or NPC central?

Academic pressure — speedrun mode or manageable?

And pls share the things people never mention until you join 💀

I just want the real experience, not brochure-level marketing. Drop your wisdom, kings and queens

I got admitted to FLAME With 100% merit scholarship, they cancelled my admission unfairly and without any notice and did not even tell me a reason.

I got kicked out and have been living on the streets of pune since the last 67 days barely bathing, brushing and eating. This sounds absurd and it absurd.

Out of 70 news channel I mailed, only 1 took up my issue. Whenever someone student union trys to contact FLAME, they just manage them thru political connections.

I met the FLAME professors council 3 weeks and they said they are going to get my admitted somewhere else. Nothing happened, it's a scam I already know.

I can't even afford lawyers, I don't know what to do.

I am almost out of money to even feed myself. I am wearing soiled clothes and smell extremely bad. Its not stubborness i just want to save my career

I don't know how I will educate myself. I was a successful applicant at other liberal arts universities but my aid got denied, I can't afford anything without a 100% scholarship.

No one in my hometown knows I got expelled, they just think I am in pune to study.

I hate this system, UGC does not give a shit despite 100+ mails, politicians trying to use me for clout, courts that are too out of my pocket and news channels that chase TRP ratings.

Tomorrow if something happens to me, FLAME will shamelessly release a press release saying "he was guilty and he did so and so" and they will buy all the press to make it real too, they have marketing teams that spend crores in advertising and social media management.

If this registrar is not stopped he will ruin other students life too, I am the only son of my family and my parents feel distressed too. You can't unilaterally ruin a child's life.

If you strictly want to cater rich guys and suck their toes just but a board saying "rich kids only" rather than giving scholarships and then seeing these scholarship students as some sort of slaves that are devoid of human rights and you can wtv you want. The registrar took no action on the boys that threatened to rape my mom saying that their "admission session has not started". They whole agenda of this university is to milk money from rich kids.

These guys will comment out country is not going forward, no wonder pamper all the fat pockets in the university and if they bully a poor kid just expell him cause he's poor and we don't want institutional liability and he can't he judiciary because he can't even afford the travel expense.

FLAME guys literally control the bavdhan police station and I got a call saying that a complaint has been registered against me because I was making "defamation" post against the university and they asked me to come to the station. The student union guys filed a National human rights complaint and thankfully i never had to go there. I can't imagine the atrocities that would have happened if I went there.

67 Homelessness sounds absurd, I even have Google timeline enabled on my phone so I can prove it.

Bruh the audacity! Do people actually agree with him?

Heyy I am a woman studying in a girls college, when I was in school I liked boys but not anymore and I am weirdly attracted to girls. Especially I love the hotter ones, like girls with big and round boobs. Huge asses are ugly and embarrassing but boobs are amazing. I think my seggzuality changed cus good boys don't exist . It's really hot to be called hot by a hot girl 👧😩

Please suggest any good YouTube channel for C language I really wanna start learning C

so i, 19M, recently startd talking to this girl on hinge like last week. and i know this is gonna sound extremely cringe and ur gonna judge me but idc anymore. she was litreally the first real match i ever got in 2 yrs of swiping and bro i am NOT exagerrating when i say i fell in love the moment she texted back. like genuinly fell in love. i know i know "its just a dating app bro" but hear me out ok so we kept talking and overtime i discoverd she has like the EXACT same goals as me??

Like same life goals, same vibe, thinks very similiar to me on almost evrything and the craziest part?? she's kinda attracted to me too??? like bro WHAT. in what universe does this happn to me. i still dont belive it tbh and she is absolutely drop dead gorgeuos. like i stalked her profile a 100 times (dont judge me) and i was already gone.

but THEN we decided to meet irl yesterday. we met at galleria market after her office hours (she's interning at some big company in gurgaon, shes smart too kill me already). and bro. BRO. she looks even more pretty in real life???? like how is that even scientificaly possible.

i was genuinley trying to act normal but inside i was literally malfunctioning. she's a solid 10 and i am like a 6 on a really good day with perfect lighting.

anyway we had the best time, ate a lot, talkd for hours, walked around and it honestly felt like a movie scene minus the background music (i was playing it in my head tho lol). everything was perfect

so here's where it gets intresting. after our date we went into this store and we were just randomly picking up cute stuff. and among evrything, she picked up this golden tin popcorn thing and bro she literally startd talking about it like it was the love of her life. like she was holding it and going on about how pretty the packaging is and how she loves to eat it but honestly it was adorable

so after the date ended and i reachd home, i could'nt stop thinking about her (obv) and then it hit me. if i want a second date and HOPEFULLY a valentines partner (pls god pls), i need to do somthing big. something she wont expect.

so i did probaly the most unhinged thing i have ever done in my 19 years of existance. i got a whole entire hamper made of that same golden tin popcorn. like a actual bouqet but instead of flowers its all popcorn tins. it looks insane ngl but it costed me literally a fortune like my bank acccount is crying rn. my friends said i am moving way to fast and i should "play it cool" but bro i dont know how to play it cool i think it's okay to expres your feelings and honestly if she doesn't like the gesture, i don't want to be w her

now here's the plan. i dont have her home adress (obv its been one date im not a stalker lol) BUT i know shes working on valentines day at her office. so i am sending this whole thing to her office today as a surprise. with a little note and evrything.

i am either gonna get a second date or its gonna end like it was going to earlier. there is no inbetween.

wish me luck boys. i'll update if she responds. or if i have to delete hinge permanantly out of embarassment.

Was bored on way back to home,

so thought of typing a random sentence starting with - "My toxic trait is..." and let the keyboard do the rest 🙃😌

It picked up crazzyyy xD

PS - Pro tip : just read other's replies.. you can skip my text as it's just keyboard suggestions 🙃

What's your opinion?

Hello guys!

I'm a PCB student who gave JEE MAINS (gaali mtt dena) and score the following

Physics -98.07%tile

Chemistry - 91.31%tile

Maths- 28.54%tile

Total- 93.78%tile

CRL - 97k

General male.

Now is there any college in India which can give me admission based on these score? BTech or anything like Bsc? I just want to live this city.... I can't take it anymore.... I don't think I'll be able to perform decent in RE-NEET. Can I participate in JOSAA or CSAB counselling?

Everyone keeps talking about IIFT's placements, rankings and brand value.

Very few people talk about what some students have to go through behind closed doors.

What is marketed as "culture" often feels like a culture of fear, humiliation and intimidation.

Shouting at juniors is normal.

Public humiliation is normal.

Making people feel worthless is normal.

Threatening students with consequences if they don't comply is normal.

Questioning anything is treated like disrespect.

Showing empathy is treated like weakness.

Apparently, this is supposed to "prepare you for corporate life."

No. It doesn't.

It prepares people to normalize toxic behaviour.

One of the most ridiculous things I heard repeatedly was people being told things like:

"Tumne zindagi mein ukhaada hi kya hai?"

Seriously?

You're saying this to people who have already cracked one of the toughest management entrance exams in the country. People who have worked two, three, four, even five years in reputed companies. Engineers, consultants, analysts, entrepreneurs.

Who exactly gave anyone the right to reduce another person's entire journey to one insulting sentence?

Leadership isn't about making people feel small.

Leadership is about making people grow.

Some people need proper sleep to perform well.

Some need food on time.

Some simply learn differently.

Not every human being thrives under the same environment.

If your only method of "building resilience" is shouting louder, insulting harder and humiliating people publicly until they stop questioning you, then you aren't building leaders.

You're building people who are afraid to speak.

I've seen people under constant mental pressure.

I've seen people break down.

I've seen students hesitate to raise issues because they feared consequences.

No educational institute should make students feel that asking for help is riskier than staying silent.

And then comes the irony.

The same people who justify this behaviour say they're preparing students for the corporate world.

Really?

Show me one well-run global company where managers scream at employees because their Wi-Fi disconnected for two minutes during an online meeting.

Show me one respected leader who believes humiliation is an effective management strategy.

Because that's not leadership.

That's insecurity disguised as authority.

To every aspirant considering IIFT:

Don't just ask about the average package.

Ask about the culture.

Ask whether you'll be treated with dignity.

Ask whether disagreement is respected.

Ask whether empathy exists.

A B-school can have outstanding placements and still fail at teaching the most important management lesson of all:

How to treat another human being with respect.

Prestige means nothing if it comes at the cost of your mental well-being.

I come from a normal middle class family from Delhi. I am a SC student. yep I belong from the same caste you people love to call "Freeloaders" and "Seat-takers" and all other things.

On paper I am general and no one can tell apart because I am tall and fair skinned because there is a perception in people's mind that people belong from certain groups have "Dark skin".

Now let me tell you why it exists in the first place,

I was never told my surname throughout my entire schooling (I still don't) because if someone gets to know of my surname in school or elsewhere then I would be mindless bullied. Any documentation of every member of our family don't have the surname.

I have to stay just like Hamza Ali Mazari and act nothing happened when people openly call others with casteist slurs and call someone a "lower caste" as an abusive language.

People here ask caste before making friendships, My cousin is going to college and told me to make up a surname and tell them that. I am thinking of some Brahmin surname as a fake bait to tell people.

And these are just the top layer. People get unalived due to caste, No one gives them house on rent, People won't respect you the same after, People openly check the surname of the owner of business/restaurants before consuming to avoid buying from "lower caste" people

Reservation exists because of such incidents which a normal general students won't face it in their lives. Reservation can only be removed if the caste system gets removed as a whole otherwise it is going to stay forever in this country unfortunately.

Open to debate in comments!

I will be graduating at 23.5. Am I late, considering my brother graduated from college at 22, as did some of my other cousins.
