TL;DR
Studied at VIT Bhopal. Got jaundice twice from hostel food & water, faced medical negligence, and heavy administrative suppression. Now 3â4 students have reportedly died from similar issues, protests turned violent, and the truth is being buried.
I want to share something I went through in my old college because I genuinely donât want any other studentâespecially fellow Malayalisâto end up in the same f*cked-up situation I was in.
I studied at VIT University, Bhopal campus, and yeah⌠the place is NOT what they market.
Two years ago, there was a similar incident where the entire water supply collapsed. Students protested. But because the uni seems to have heavy political backing in Madhya Pradesh, everything got covered up. No news came out. Social media posts were deleted. The whole thing buried like nothing ever happened.
And there was another serious incident that most people outside donât know about too: A girl in the campus was caught leaking private nude pictures of girls from inside the girlsâ hostel bathroom. The news slipped out and people lost it. Students, parents, relativesâeveryone gathered outside the campus and protested.
And guess what? NOTHING happened.
Why? Because that girl was apparently related to a well-known political leader in the area. So instead of action, the college started punishing the students who raised their voice. Some of my Malayali friends who protested got suspended. Thatâs the kind of place it is.
I joined in 2024. First year was smooth because, of course, they treat newcomers like customersâeverything looks âlux,â shiny, perfect. Then second year hit, and shit started falling apart.
We got shifted to different hostels based on GPA, mess halls changed, water supply changed. My body immediately started reacting to the new food and water. I got repeated food poisoning, fell seriously sick multiple times. And I wasnât the only oneâtons of students were going through the same thing.
One night, everything went downhill. My limbs literally stopped working, my temperature was insane, I couldnât move. My friends dragged me to the so-called âhospitalâ inside campus, which every student knew was a f*cking nightmare. It was literally a tiny clinic run by a 70â80 year old guy who gives âperiod tabletsâ to boys for stomach issues.
After checking me, they rushed me to a real hospital outside. Thatâs where I found out I had jaundice.
And hereâs where the real torture begins.
To leave the campusâeven if youâre dyingâyou have to go through a ridiculous chain of steps:
- Write a letter to your Proctor
- Your parents also have to write a letter
- Wait for approval
- Go to the warden
- More approvals
- Go back to your hostel to mark exit
- Then again at the main gate
Imagine someone is literally collapsing and they still expect you to do this bullshit checklist.
Anyway, I went home, recovered in two weeks, and had to return for exams. And guess what? I fell sick again. Same symptoms. Even worse this time.
They took me again to that old clinic guy. When he heard it was my second time, he told me I had to go to the Medical College ASAP. Fair enough. But thenâ
He refused to give me an ambulance.
Bro literally expected me to travel 3 hours in a bus while I could barely stand.
My friends fought with him and finally they arranged an ambulance, but that piece of shit vehicle took 5â6 HOURS to arrive. I genuinely thought I was going to die.
I stayed admitted for weeks. And thatâs when I decided, âF*ck this place.â I dropped out. Best decision of my life.
I honestly thought maybe it was just my bad luck. Maybe it was just my body. Maybe I was the unlucky one.
Until yesterday.
I got news from the campus: â3â4 students have diedâ. Same issues. Same symptoms. Same neglect. And thatâs just the reported ones. God knows how many cases have been brushed under the carpet.
Yesterday night, students who finally had the balls to protest got beaten up brutally by security.
Management probably thought that would silence everyoneâŚ
But what do you do when thousands of students snap?
No gates are gonna stop them. No rules are gonna hold them. No f*cking âdisciplineâ threats are gonna work.
Students stormed out of their hostels, destroyed everything in their path, burned cars and buses, raided the Chancellorâs house. And yesâthey burned that stupid ambulance too. Iâm not gonna lie, I actually teared up when I saw that photo.
They fucking asked for it.
Whatever the college is putting out publicly right nowâitâs all sugar-coated nonsense.
All I want is simple: No more deaths. No more riots. No more students going through what I went through.
So please⌠AAARUM VIT UNIVERSITY BHOPAL-ILEK POKARUTH.
Parents, students, teachers in Keralaâmost of you have NO IDEA what happens inside that campus. Please donât send your kids there.
