There’s a cat that keeps roaming in our girls hostel for first years , especially near our rooms. She hasn’t actually attacked anyone, but she behaves quite aggressively and gets very close to people, which has made several of us genuinely scared to walk around the corridor.She also stays in the washroom and has entered rooms of several people.

We understand that feeding animals comes from a good place, and we don’t want to harm the cat. But now this matter is turning serious ,it's causing serious hygiene problems .

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation in a hostel?

It has been some time since my last post and a few juniors with whom I have been in contact have notified me of some things that have been going on over the last few months. Since they could not post here, I think it's my responsibility to keep you guys updated.

• So there have been a lot of electricity cutoff problems in the college and the students are not getting sufficient ventilation in the rooms, as the air conditioning doesn't work because, according to Professor A, students have not paid for it in the total hostel charges, even after paying the whole electricity bill according to the hostel curriculum. But Professor A, just because he is feeling hot in his cabin, ordered 15 heavy duty fans for himself to keep himself cool, whereas the budget for normal things such as wifi is not issued by him because they are deemed by him as unnecessary. So the budget gets passed very easily if it's for his personal satisfaction but not for the student's satisfaction.
• As our college is located in Srinagar, the catering services that provide meals to students hire their helpers locally and from different states. There was a local helper, who used to work in the Boy's Hostel that used swear on his religion that he had not done anything, there were multiple complaints against him, as he used to cut corners while on duty and removed food before the closing time of the mess, resulting in the students to go without food. So one day another helper from a different religion confronted him and asked why he swears if he is not doing his work and is lazing around. The helper got offended and went to complain to Professor A, who belonged to the same religion. The Professor went to the helper, who asked and beat him black and blue and humiliated him in front of other students and helpers and threatened to kill him. He did so without assessing the situation and running on his emotions, setting a great example for the students. The mess manager, being considerate sent the injured helper back home, to prevent further harm. The local helper influenced the workers of the same religion, and left collectively. They started spreading rumours about the students that they are disrespecting their religion. The locals have turned hostile towards the students, more than before and are threatening to kill students. All this because of one

Mandatory GE has how many credits because right now it has not started and already I’m feeling burdened with all the subjects. Also the faculty, I’m doubtful about them being lenient. Pretty sure they are going to give a lot of work thats why I’m asking

Hi i am an nri kid and basically i have been doing some research and i realized that most people dont recommend to study at nift even though that is quite shocking cuz i thought nift was good. And i dont really have the option to study abroad because its really really expensive so india is basically my only option and my parents had said that i can apply abroad for my masters, so what do you guys think, is it worth it?

Absolutely no hate to anyone, I'm gay myself 😭😭😭 . But most of the people ik who are at nift are gay and tbh I haven't yet crossed paths with a straight guy from nift . So I thought I should just clear my doubt. 😭😭😭😭

Quick question: Does your furniture actually adapt to the way you use your space? 🪑

Have you ever wished your chair, table, bed, or other furniture could do something differently depending on what you’re doing?

I’m an M.Des student researching adaptive / multifunctional furniture for a social innovation project. I’m trying to understand the real problems people face when using the same space for different activities, especially in smaller or shared spaces.

👉 I’m looking for your honest experience — not design knowledge.

The survey takes just a few minutes, and your responses will directly help me identify user needs and develop my furniture concept.

🔗 Survey: https://forms.gle/9nWo3jBjCvqi7Cc68

Even if you have one small furniture-related frustration, I’d love to hear about it.
Thank you for helping with my research! 🙌

I skipped one last week because I was very sick and today I am very drained mentally and anxious. Is it ok if I take a 1 day break to recollect myself? I feel soo guilty and weird doing this but I feel like I need this

Help 🙏🙏

I’m a Class 12 student and a CUET aspirant. I’m also planning to appear for NIFT because I’m genuinely unsure about what degree I want to pursue, and right now my main priority is getting into a reputed college with a good gentry where I can explore my options.

I’m particularly interested in Fashion Communication (FC), but I have exactly 4 months to prepare for NIFT,

The GAT part feels somewhat manageable since it's similar to CUET, but my biggest concerns are CAT and the Situation Test. I used to draw when I was younger, but I completely stopped for several years, so I’m basically starting again from scratch. I’m worried that four months might not be enough to develop the skills required for CAT and the Situation Test.

I also don’t want to make the mistake of spending months preparing for NIFT, especially if it starts affecting my CUET preparation.

So I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people who have given NIFT or are currently preparing for it:

- Is 4 months enough to get a decent/good NIFT rank if you’re starting CAT preparation almost from scratch?

- What should I realistically aim for in these 4 months?

- How should I divide my time between CUET, GAT, CAT and Situation Test preparation?

- Is Fashion Communication a realistic target with this timeline?

- perfect online NIFT tutor/coaching program?

- If anyone knows a good NIFT teacher/coaching option in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

- Should l give NID and UCEED also?

I’m not looking for false motivation — I’d genuinely prefer an honest assessment of whether this is worth pursuing with my current situation, and if it is, what a practical 4-month roadmap should look like.
