It has alot of hype around AI in my clg , everyone is talking about it , AI everywhere

But the way things are going i dont see any future for it , Electronics are too expensive , AI is interfering in our lives in a very bad way , people are not supporting and moving away from using AI .

So , my take , as cost of maintaining AI wil be soo high that it will be only limited to specific research work in a small local server , and wont be accessible to general people , atleast for cheap price

Personally , I feel like classes are a big waste of time , u spend 7-8 hours in clg just to learn again from random yt video , profs are shi , egoistic , what if 75% didnt exist so we could actually use that time for something good

Hey , it's Krishy this side , EDM / Future bass / Melodic Dubstep producer , I am working an album "The Quest for Love" , and I want to collaborate with other artist so I can make it as creative as possible, does anyone wanna Collab ?

Also , no professional skills needed , just having fun and making music

Ive seen all kinds of music lovers in my uni and I've met alot of people and I am the only one who listens to dubstep, so is dubstep non existent in India ?

So , AI/Az finally gone , but it wish it was sooner , so i could change my college and get into a better one , now im stuck here

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
