r/Indiancolleges

Joining a Tier 2 private uni for BBA. Took a drop for Neet but zindagi ne ese mod liye ki now I'm somehow doing bba.

Please drop some tips, i specifically need tips on how to socialize cause my big back body and chopped face ain't helping 😭

So first of all

I have 61 percentile in mains and 80.2 in cbse boards

I have 2 options go with local college of coimbatore

Or thoda expensive but low level college of Bangalore

Agar me coimbatore choose karunga to 4 saal regret me rahunga but gharwale khush rahenge

Agar me banglore chooose karunga to me jyada explore kar sakta hu thoda guilt mujhe bhi hoga kyu unki pocket pejyada load ayega

But me banglore isiliye choose kar rha hu taki meko better opportunities or expose mile for real I promise ki me carrer ko leke dead serious hu

Btw dono jageh ki fees me over the 4 years like 2-3 lakh hi diff hai it's not that crazy (I think so)

My sister just finished IB and we're trying to figure out the best options for undergrad in India (probably Business/Finance). We're from Delhi, money isn't really a major issue. She got into FLAME but we were thinking of sending her abroad then and didnt pay the fees on time.

Any recommendations for good private colleges that still have admissions open or are worth looking into?

We're also considering studying abroad (mainly Dubai or New Zealand), but we're pretty confused. Not sure if this is the right sub for that part, but any advice or experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I just wanna avoid being more average. seriously thankyou for any advice you can give :)

I scored 40%ile in jee mains and hadn't appeared for any other exams.

I'm looking for a engeneering college in west bengal i can't afford top colleges due to high donation amount.

Do anyone know some better colleges which takes admission without donation.

My budget is 6 lakhs

Will hv to take edu loan for bits tho.

Hello , I'm a student of English Literature. I've applied to both of the colleges for my post graduation program

And I'm honestly very much confused between these two colleges...I'm looking for a cultural and vibrant campus with a strong academic background...I'm looking for a college with a vibrant campus culture and a strong academic environment... I'd like to study at a place where I can express myself confidently, improve my presentation and public speaking skills, build a strong network, and also enjoy extracurricular activities and entertainment alongside academics.

I need all of your suggestions 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So, ​I'm from West Bengal and recently completed Class 12 (WBCHSE, Commerce with Computer Applications). I don't have Mathematics in Class 12, which has already ruled out quite a few universities. My original admission plan completely fell apart because of unexpected issues during the admission process at SICSR, and by the time everything happened, most good colleges had already closed admissions.

I'm now trying to find the best possible option before admissions completely close (preferably colleges still accepting applications till July/August 2026).

My long-term plan

I don't want to stop at just a BCA.

My plan is:

Offline BCA (preferably 4-year Honours/Honours with Research under NEP)

Simultaneously pursue the IIT Madras BS Degree (online)

Build a strong GitHub, LinkedIn, Kaggle and project portfolio throughout college

Participate in hackathons and internships

After graduation, prepare for NIMCET, CUET PG, GATE and IIT JAM to keep multiple options open for higher studies (MCA/MS/M.Tech depending on where I qualify)

Because of this plan, I need a college that won't make pursuing the IIT Madras BS degree impossible.

What I'm looking for in a BCA college

I'm not looking for flashy advertisements or ranking websites. I'm looking for genuine student experiences.

My requirements are:

• ​4-year BCA Honours/Honours with Research preferred

• ​AI & Machine Learning as a real Core Specialization (not just a certificate)

• ​Updated curriculum including Python, DSA, DBMS, OS, Cloud, AI, ML, Deep Learning, NLP, MLOps and GenAI

• ​Reasonable attendance (not extremely strict) so managing IIT Madras BS is possible

• ​Good coding culture

• ​Active GitHub, hackathons and technical clubs

• ​Decent placements (₹5-8 LPA average is completely fine)

• ​Recruiters like TCS, Infosys, Accenture, IBM, Cognizant, Capgemini, Deloitte, LTIMindtree, etc.

• ​Boys' hostel available on​ campus

• ​Safe campus with decent food and Wi-Fi

• ​Total budget around ₹15-18 lakh including hostel

• ​No major controversies or serious management issues

• ​Preferably NAAC A++ or A+

Preferred locations are Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kerala, Delhi NCR or anywhere else if it's genuinely worth it.

Colleges I'm currently considering

I'm currently looking at a few options, but before making such a big decision, I want honest opinions from students or alumni instead of marketing material.

If you've studied there or know someone who has, I'd really appreciate hearing about:

• ​Academics • ​Faculty • ​Coding culture​ • ​Placements (specifically for BCA) • ​Attendance • ​Hostel • ​Overall student life

Whether pursuing IIT Madras BS alongside BCA would realistically be manageable​

I'm honestly in a difficult position because I don't have many backup options left, and I don't want to spend 4 years or a significant amount of money at the wrong place.

If you've been in a similar situation or have any recommendations for colleges whose admissions are still open, I'd really appreciate your advice. Even if it's a college I haven't mentioned, I'm open to considering it if it genuinely fits what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

I should have posted this in the Manipal sub but it’s literally not letting me to. It’s taking down my post maybe because this is a new account with no karma at all. But I dont care. I’m losing my mind and I want to know what people think

Want to know if I’m overreacting. Didn’t book hostel when the mail was sent because I wanted a single ac room instead of double sharing. After few days the hostel booking was over and not a single room was left including non ac. Parents searched for pg’s and flats with Ac but there was one problem or another. Either there was no single available or the pg was far. Now they wanted me to go for a pg without food because I’m not gonna have food in pg all 3 times a day. But they’re also apparently worried about my health

Now my mom is suggesting renting a literal house and planning to make my dad stay there with me. The initial plan was obviously for me to live alone. But now my mom has decided how my college life should go. I’m a female. She’s suggesting that my dad could get a job there itself and live with me so that he could help me and cook for me and stuff. Now my mom is not conservative at all and is chill and okay. My dad pretends to be chill but I can’t trust him. He has a habit of stalking people ( not stalking in a very serious sense but definitely very annoying, he stalks me and my mom and can’t trust him at all) besides it’s not like I’m gonna do illegal stuff or shit. Whether I do stuff or not nobody has the right to stalk me and that’s wrong and sick

Other than that my dad also is not restrictive and strict and stuff. They want this arrangement for my well being. But I’m very much icked out by all of this. If I knew it would be like this then I would not have chosen Manipal and would instead just choose a college in my hometown that is Bangalore. My mom also knows how excited and happy i was to finally be away from them ( they’re very annoying and I’m vocal about how I don’t like it) but now the orientation is close by and my mom has suddenly planned my entire college life. She says “ nobody is gonna interfere with your freedom” but honestly idc about she says.

The truth still stands that I should have been informed of this before but i wasn’t. All of a sudden she’s really concerned about my health and how I’m gonna manage by myself in a new place and hence wants to rent a house and have my dad live with me for the entirely of my college life. I’m deeply annoyed and frustrated by all of this. Mainly because if I knew things would be like this I would have either chosen a college in Bangalore so that my ever so sweet and caring parents would continue helping me or I would would have just chosen a hostel room, ac or not whatever. This is sick and disgusting how just days before the orientation they’ve decided a completely different plan for a very imp part of my life. Please tell me you’re opinions

I'm a dropper a 2025 passed student , didn't had a really good percentage, tbh not eligible for IITs but still had to take a drop due to health issues and somewhat I got very upset , I then prepared for jee main then again dropped due to stress , now I'm stucked for last 2-3 months in finding colleges for mechanical engineering because I'm not a cse enthusiast , I want to do masters and at this point every other colleges is so expensive like how do I even say to my father " ki papa idhar bhej do " because pehle kam number the toh already disappointed hain 🙂 , it's like agar aap thode weak hain toh aapko India mein future compromise karna padega

I remember last year cbse had a third party checking 🤡 basically anpadh log checking kar rahe the teachers ki jagah and when I tried for re evaluation usmein per question it was like 200 rupees so I didn't do it then due to some misinformation I didn't give improvements too now I'm very much stucked because samjh nahi aa raha meri city mein college hai bhi nahi padhne layak ek bhi

Agar aisa hi raha I don't know how long will I be able to keep it up

And guys please yeh ek rant tha mera it's literally midnight 😭 , I'm getting depressed my mother literally said ki psychiatrist pe chalte because of my mental state , I don't know what to do anymore

genuinely confused

I am planning to change my college

Firstly is it worth it to change college after 1st year and pay double the fees but the college is better than my current one

Secondly will I fit in ?

Joining in the middle

No friends,no plans

I mean I come from a middle class background and people there seem more privileged
