Sometimes I genuinely wonder how an institute can have so many educated people and still function this badly.
People here come from different parts of the country and even different parts of the world, yet somehow the default medium of communication with staff and faculty is Hindi. The irony is that sometimes the security guards communicate in English better than the people who are actually supposed to be running academic and administrative affairs. And when faculty do speak English, it is often barely understandable.
Forget the big things for a moment. Basic necessities like decent food, clean water, hygiene, reliable electricity, functioning infrastructure and usable internet should not be things students have to constantly complain about. We have power cuts, water cuts, terrible infrastructure and unreliable internet, while somehow there always seems to be money and time for things that nobody asked for.
And the pan culture is honestly ridiculous. Smoking is banned, but practically everyone seems to be chewing pan. I genuinely don’t understand how that makes sense.
The rules for students are endless. Every little thing needs permission, and getting that permission can feel like an impossible bureaucratic obstacle course. But when it comes to the responsibilities of staff and faculty, the same level of accountability seems to disappear. Rules and discipline apparently apply very selectively.
Everything requires a million permissions. Want to organise something? Permission. Want to use something? Permission. Want to do something for students? Permission. By the time you somehow get through the entire chain of approvals, whatever you wanted to do has already lost its relevance.
And the worst part is that there is barely any college life left. There is no energy, no sense of community, no real student voice. It feels like the institute is slowly removing everything that makes a college feel like a college.
The institute seems to be run by people who are highly educated on paper(but most of them are a bunch of fools) but somehow keep making decisions that create more problems than they solve. Money gets spent, infrastructure gets changed, rules keep getting added, permissions keep multiplying and somehow the actual student experience keeps getting worse.
There isn’t even a proper student body with meaningful power. And no, the Cultural Council is not a student body in the way students actually need one to be. It is essentially a faculty-controlled structure with very limited power and very little ability to genuinely represent students.
A college cannot survive indefinitely by treating students as people who only need to follow instructions. Students are a part of the institution. Their concerns, freedom, representation and quality of life matter too.
At this point, it genuinely feels like there is no college life left here. There is just an institution that keeps functioning because it has to.
If things continue like this, I honestly don’t know how long the institute can maintain, it will collapse.
Too many idiots are running this place. You must be alert, else you will be caught in the loop and perish.
After 2 years in this college the college has been degrading steeply. F**k this place.
