my classes are in such a way that no outside faculty can see my laptop screen , still these people wanna stand behind me to see what am i doing ,like wtf no one is taking away ur salary , no one is watching u , why should u care , I can cover and study on my own , and sometimes , they dont even let me complete my practical files , like what is bothering you
Let me explain.
Suppose every player in the Indian team played almost like Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar , would we still treat them the same way? Nah, right? That’s the point.
Now let me show you how deep the problem goes and why these colleges are worse than you think.
- A faculty member handling placements told us the placement percentage for 2025 was 23.8%. Let’s round it to 25% for simplicity. That means 75% students are unplaced.
what's scary is , around 4000 students take admission every year in just CSE at Chandigarh University.Do the math ~3000 students unplaced, and this is just one branch of just one field of just one college.
And placements are just one part.
NIRF RANKINGS
I don’t know the exact formula, but it involves research papers and patents.
Reality?Most papers either get rejected or are straight-up low quality. Even accepted ones , a huge chunk are made using shady sources. You can literally get this done for ₹1000–1500.
Now patents?
Filing a patent in India costs ₹1,600. Government reimbursement goes up to ₹2 lakh per filing. That's a 125x return, before the patent does anything useful.
These Institutions found the arbitrage. File at scale, collect reimbursements, use this to climb NIRF rankings, attract students. Repeat.
The problem isn't the universities. The problem is what we're measuring in NIRF, QS, THE rankings.All these weights raw filings, not grants. Not commercialization. Not real-world impact. So the rational move becomes filing at scale rather than building genuine IP.
| Institution / Group | Period | Applications Filed | Patents Granted | Grant Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All IITs (combined) | 2020–2025 | 6,558 | 2,806 | ~42.8% | Strong quality, high conversion rate. |
| LPU | 2020–2025 | 7,096 | 162 | ~2.3% | High filing volume, very poor conversion. |
| Chandigarh University | 2020–2025 | 5,318 | 45 | ~0.8% | Aggressive filings, extremely low succes |
| Galgotias University | 2020–2025 | 2,233 | 2 | ~0.1% | Almost no grants despite large number of filings |
| Jain University | 2020–2025 | 2,835 | 12 | ~0.4% | High filings, very low approval rate. |
| Teerthanker Mahaveer University | 2020–2025 | 2,054 | 6 | ~0.3% | Same pattern: quantity‑focused, negligible outcomes |
A bigger picture of what i just said
But why is all the blame on colleges like Chandigarh University and not others?
Because a huge chunk of colleges fall into this exact category. These aren’t some random tier-69 institutes nobody expects anything from , these are the ones that market themselves as serious contenders. If you’re charging premium fees and flexing rankings, you don’t get to act like “average” later.
Go check the fee structure yourself. For what they’re charging, what are students actually getting?No top-tier faculty. No cutting-edge tech. No real advantage. Just branding.
But IITs have:
* better faculty
* better peer group
* better funding
* actual research ecosystem
Fair enough.
But then explain this ,why are colleges like CU showcasing NIRF rankings where they’re placed above some IITs and NITs?
National Institutional Ranking Framework rankings putting them above institutes that are objectively better just kills credibility.
You can’t claim “we’re better than IITs” on paper and then deliver nowhere close in reality.
That’s the real issue , not just poor outcomes
Coming back to placement here is real picture - these are last one and half month of data

This is not all but you know how the rest of metrics would look like if i write them here
So yeah this was my personal opinion , feel free to add yours , and sorry if the texts are messy i didn't want chatgpt to be involved and wanted to keep the tone real and raw
