At IIMA, we have to read a book named “The Lottery of Birth”, as part of a course.
As the name goes, the book talks about how people tend to attribute their success solely to merit, while ignoring their privilege.
Not everyone likes that book as it questions their privilege :)
When after getting 99.6 %ile, you still don't get into your dream college, that's called pain.
Seen his (GNEM) hardwork, diligence and perseverance for CAT. Really, pondering over the fact that, what does it actually take to get into IIM A.
This guy doesn't even understand the evaluation system being followed by most educational institutions in India. In CBCS, the final semester (24 credits) has lesser weightage than your 3rd and 4th sems (28 credits each)! (1/2)

MBA over, back home for a break, no stress, Test match going on with Dharamshala backdrop, India playing “bazzball” vs England, both Rohit & Gill with a century, good food for Shivratri - maje hi maje 💯
Heck, people don't have internet access at places. It's not an elite South Delhi High School where only the rich kids go to study. It's a freaking central university with students coming from the remotest of places and having not so privileged backgrounds

And, after today, I don't want any boomer to tell me that "your generation is very negative/looks at everything critically/very weak/can't bear pressure" because hello uncle/aunty we are the ones who are actually raising valid concerns, channelising our rage maturely...(1/2)
Going by their decision, 4th sem students would have a greater bearance on their results because of its higher weightage in the CGPA. How has be assigned this position of responsibility if he doesn't understand the basics?

I am a general category student. I am just acknowledging the privilege that helped me get there.
I am a guy who was brought up in a Marwari household. I studied in an english medium private school. I had a room to myself to prepare for CAT…the list of privileges is endless.
23.9% contraction of

is no big deal. The BJP has a comprehensive plan to get back on track:
1. Hold compulsory exams for final yr students
2. Conduct JEE/NEET
3. Solve SSR case
4. Build Ram Mandir
5. Blame Congress
Ever seen a more robust plan?
I just scrolled through

's past tweets. My inferences:
1. Of course, they are politically opposed to NSUI's stance. So they oppose everything it says. But this time, NSUI happens to be right in its stand. Yet ABVP has to oppose it. (1/n)

- Students receive multiple papers
- 2hr papers take atleast 3.5hrs to complete
- Portal crashes when students try to upload
- DU sends panic mails @ 2am for auto-submission from the portal when students had mailed their answers
BUT, Vinay Gupta says:

This was DU's argument in the petition filed by
@ayushic41
against OBE!
I mean, I am kind of embarrassed I am studying in such a university (anyone else??)
Oh, also, NO - hardly any relevant study resources are available on the internet. Check it up.
#DUAgainstOnlineExams
DU has literally postponed the exams 3 times just to fix its portal (worth ₹2.5crs).
If everything had to be done through mail itself, why did they waste this much time?
Shows how complacent DU has acted all this while - people have lost jobs & admission offers for this!
Extremely glad to share that I'll be pursuing the prestigious ITUS Degree. This degree is less heard of, because it's an immensely difficult course. A very few students have been able to complete this course. You have to be very intelligent, and I was one of them.
Ask any student who has taken the exams in the last 2 days if they could have written the answers, scanned their sheets, & uploaded them in just 3 hours.
DU has acted against the interests of students for 5 months now and they are stooping lower each day. This is just cruel now.
Update: University of Delhi has filed an appeal against judgement given in our case. They have a problem apparently with the reliefs given in our case & the High Powered Panel setup by the Hon'ble Court & it's decision to keep monitoring the outcome of OBE, giving one hour extra.
When it comes to vandalism, even the most genuine causes lose their credibility. Why? Because the ones on the other side get a valid cause to call you out and shift part of the blame onto you.

persistently fighting those flushed with authority, finding humour (ah, the memes) even in harsh times. I've learnt that each successive generation matures earlier because this society keeps on getting more corrupt. Of course, there are fallouts. But we all grow. (2/2)
Used to watch repeat telecast of FIR on Sab TV @ 3:30pm after school because gharwale didn't allow me to watch TV at 10:30 in the night.
Simpler times :)
VC firms would hardly ever recruit from a mid/bottom-tier college (not necessarily supporting this but stating the fact as is) - so no, nobody from random courses in DU (pretty or otherwise) is making to VCs.
Every “pretty” girl graduating in random courses from DU is an analyst at a VC firm. Like all of them.
I’m not even kidding.
No engineers. None. All 3 years degree courses graduates, evaluating tech businesses.
Unreal!

Not that I have an obligation to divulge these creds to you, but for the sake of the discussion:
10 CG/97.2%/8.85 CG in X/XII/UG
Another ~2y of workex at Bain
The very fact that you need a list of credentials to value an argument shows a lot.
Effectively, agar mujhe degree November ke bhi baad milegi, toh ye to 7 semesters ki degree ho gayi.
Bas DU ye 7th sem ki exam na le le. Haan maana kuch padhai to nahi hui, but wo toh 6th sem ki bhi kaha hi hui.
I cannot believe this!!!
The DU website where the datesheets were uploaded just crashed.
These guys are going to take online exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All students would have to download the question papers at sharp 11:30am and upload the answers at 2:30pm!

I hope students in India take note of the happenings during the past 2 months; take note of how they were heard not even once; take note how their ministers and authorities fail them -

Quick weekend read; super engaging & pulls you right into the setting (a small cafe in Tokyo).
Usually like reading books slow, but read through this in <1 day.
My friend who scored 99.24 % in CAT with all levels of CFA cleared didn't get a single call from IIM ABCL.
This is the condition of topper students in our country due to

If you are average in studies & are General, then you may just DIE of self doubt & depression.

is hell bent on conducting exams, in whatever manner possible, without even conducting proper classes. It's time the students actually speak up - I've had 4-5 online lectures of just 2 out of the 4 subjects. Some students haven't even had 1 class!
#DUAgainstOnlineExams
One good thing about all this is that more students have been speaking up and questioning the status quo. I know so many people who have joined Twitter just so they get a platform for dissent.

Why did MHA have to step into this decision? Last I remember, it was
@HRDMinistry
who advised
@ugc_india
to revise its guidelines. Why were exams in GJ, Punjab put on hold by
@DrRPNishank
? Why were Class XII exams cancelled?
This just does not make sense.

Embarrassing that a large majority of Hindus today are represented by these bunch of insecure good-for-nothing folks who throw religious slogans in attempt of establishing the dominance of their religion over another. Does not seem like a very religious use of the slogan.
I had quite an optimistic perception about the student body of IIMA 2yrs back, expecting people to be either progressive or apolitical (quite common in biz students). But, I was preparing myself for disappointment.
9 out of 10 times, it's your Grade 11/12 English teacher who
- helps you grow the most
- introduces you to good literature
- goes beyond the textbook to discuss real issues
- makes you understand that it's okay to express your emotions
and that's the best teacher you can get!
This is important. We all keep criticising that we don't have a credible opposition but when it's trying to actually do the very thing that the opposition is supposed to do, we need to support it.
I hope more people

UGC said that it's mandatory to hold exams for final yr students. But does this mandate apply retrospectively to all unis who had already cancelled their exams and evaluated students based on other criteria?
If not, how is there uniformity of law in any sense?

While covid-19 cases are increasing w 27k+ cases each day and final year students are literally begging for justice; the BJP government's priority is buying off Congress MLAs😌

But ab 4 cheezein saath mei shuru kar di. IT'S ALL MESSED UP AND I BLAME DU!!!
The self-serving bias of the rich is unbelievable! Sitting with a laptop making 3 slides in a day on why this bottle of body lotion should be in the shape of a woman’s body, thinking they’re changing the world smh🤦♂️
UGC website crashes now.
Goes on to show how anxious all the students are - waiting for this one notification. And it's not just DU, but students in GJ, UP & JEE, NEET aspirants.
It's time for some relief.
