This happened with my friend Rohit, back when we were at BIT Mesra. We were freshers at the time.

That night, Rohit was returning back to his hostel from a gaming event at 10:30 pm. As he was entering the hostel gate, a senior told Rohit to park his (the senior’s bike) inside the hostel as a favor. The senior pretended to have hurt his leg in a minor road accident. 

Rohit obliged, but as he was following the request, the senior took away his wallet and ran inside the hostel. That senior did so to tease Rohit. But Rohit was scared, and asked the guard for help. The guard called the patrolling guards who took the situation under control. They got to the senior, and took back Rohit’s wallet from him. Rohit decided not to complain about all this to the college authorities. 

But the next day, the hostel guard reported everything to the Dean. The hostel supervisor asked Rohit to write a written complaint. Rohit was frightened and wrote down everything honestly. A month passed by, and all this while, the senior kept on apologizing to Rohit. 

After one month, a notice was pasted, stating that the matter was being taken seriously. My friend was asked to write down his complaint once again. This time Rohit mentioned that the senior had apologized multiple times. Rohit requested that the matter be resolved.

At the end, the senior got two black dots and Rs. 2000 fine. But at the same time, Rohit also received one black dot and Rs. 1000 fine. This happened only because Rohit had changed his written statement, and asked for the senior to be forgiven. 

This is an interesting and disappointing “Black Dot” story.

Every coin has two sides. Similarly the institute NIT Jalandhar has both pros and cons. 

Pros-

• Friendly ambiance. Seniors are there for support. Ragging is strictly prohibited 

• The mess food is usually Punjabi and quite delicious 

• Alot of emphasis is placed on extracurricular activities. There are various clubs like LADS, MADS etc. Various cultural events are also held.

• The seniors here are literal genius and interactions with them is very beneficial 

• Placement opportunities are pretty good at every branch

• Proper hygiene facilities and lush green infrastructure add to its ambiance. New lecture halls and departments are under construction.

• Great exposure through technical and cultural events Techniti and Utkansh

• New short term courses are launched under GIAN (Global Initiative of Academic Networks )

• International workshops and conferences that are held frequently help you gain a lot of experience

Cons-

• The quality of faculty here is below average. They focus more on bookish knowledge than a broader practical approach.

• Technical events resemble cultural events

• No assistance is provided for training.

• Marks matter more than general excellence. Everyone is in a war to secure the highest CGPA.

• The 75% attendance rule works against the favour of many students.

So we can say that the merits overshadow the demerits to a great extent. In fact every NIT has similar cons which are almost uncontrollable. So just be a great learner and focus on your own betterment.

Honestly, I wouldn’t call IIM Kashipur the least preferred but the most underrated IIM. It’s at par with all the IIMs with respect to placements, infrastructure, faculty, student-teacher ratio, and rigor. Yet it’s highly underestimated owing to its single disadvantage of location.

IIMs welcome students from all over India. But the students from South or North-East India find it rather difficult to first travel to Delhi and then travel by Road or Rail to Kashipur. They prefer their comfort over anything.

The other reason is that most IIMs have been able to establish a uniqueness about themselves. IIM Kashipur lacks in this aspect. IIM Rohtak is the oldest and closest to NCR, IIM Udaipur attracts students based on MHRD ratings, IIM Trichy made itself known as a CFA Recognised Institute under the Institute University Recognition Programme and IIM Ranchi has the best placement opportunities. IIM Kashipur has failed to market itself on a particular aspect and thus is underestimated.
