Mumbai colleges don't give a rat's ass about student lives
Every monsoon this city is a big Squid game. Despite this, just to attend 2-3 lectures students are expected to travel like crazy. The lectures can easily be conducted online. On top of it, the expectation that we should be on time while they can enter the class 30 mins late is pure hypocrisy.
Funniest part? They announce that the schedule is online only after students have already left home and are halfway to college while they lie in bed sleeping.
Peak management skills.
On top of it, the fetish of 75% attendance that they have. They very proudly say that they have provided a leeway of 25% and hence they are gods. Oh and even 1 leave that you take due to rain, illness, mental health or life in general? Produce a doctor's certificate. Why should access to anyone's medical records be their right?
And god forbid if you fall even 1 percent below the attendance, they harass you like crazy. The foul language they use and the body language they display and treating students like criminals is nothing short of a dictatorship. They refuse to give you reco letters, or take away your right of giving exam and constantly target you.
My college has displayed defaulters list after 15 days of reopening. Can students settle into the semester while holding on the dear life during local train travel before publicly shaming them for attendance?
Students are unable to do internships, attend workshops or in general do any skill building as they are confined to the 4 walls of the college. Plus, incompetent professors all around make it even more difficult to build your profile in this place.
The whole education system is a joke. Its not just policy makers but also professors sitting in their AC cabins with their inflated egos and superiority complex that need to be held accountable.
