Idk CU gave me inferiority complex in all terms

Idk CU gave me inferiority complex in all terms

IDK if it's me or someone else,I just visited Cu just for campus visit 🫠,and it made me shatter in all terms,The students are much fairer than me with an iphone with great fashion sense as I would say ,That me a hell of insecurity and self doubt as dark skinned person with a phone costing even less than 20k.

Idk i was lookin a total shit ,the girlies were so pretty and even guys were too handsome like idk I couldn't even gather courage to start a chat with anyone as my confidence was lit rock bottom.

The weather today was also a total shit,the heat was so scorching idk living in a non ac room is even possible in here with this typa humidity.

Idk what I actually thought the crowd was too much in engineering as from C3 ,I saw a huge crowd coming idk talked too just 2 guys ,one was regretting his decision and other was just telling,that there's not much support you'll have to do all by yourselves ,Idk my dreams shattered all the times I thought and I didn't even have a backup options after this..

Idk if there's someone like me who's feeling like me,you could just say it ....Idk I'm just depressed rn and my confidence is at all time low 🙃

Cu is just a rich kid dream 🫠,that feeling of being judged can't be expressed.

Hey everyone! I’m a fresher and recently took admission at Chandigarh University, Mohali. I’m from Batch 2 and I’m looking to connect with other freshers from the same batch.

If you’re pursuing B.Sc. Biotechnology or Microbiology and you’re also from Batch 2, please feel free to comment or DM me. Would be nice to connect before college starts! :)

Anyone who likes to lift weights and go on long runs and not addicted to their phone

Most of the students here are retarded like they eat shit food , they don't know shit bout nutrition as we can see from their fat percentage and barely pass . I have talked to people in my class they are not even aware like their awareness level is so fucked up . I have noticed people here are super addicted to their phones and keep doom scrolling all day and don't go to the gym consistently .

“Is Chandigarh University really worth it? I have a two-year gap after 12th and my percentage isn’t very high, but they’ve offered me admission. I’m confused about whether I should take it. Is the university actually good, or could I regret coming here? How’s the student life, academics, placements,

Same as title

Sole reason why IItians are worshipped because colleges like Chandigarh university exists

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
