What is your review of Kurukshetra University?
Kurukshetra University isn’t good in terms of academics. The results aren’t declared in time. The evaluation system isn’t good. The course curriculum isn’t up to date. Coursework usually includes subjects that aren’t related to the stream. The teaching approach followed by the university is theory-oriented. You won’t get much hands-on practical learning experience.
What are some cons of AIIMS Rishikesh as I have heard only positive reviews?
AIIMS Rishikesh is one of the renowned medical institutions located in Uttarakhand. Although, the facilities and faculty at AIIMS Rishikesh are excellent. It may have some cons as well.
Lack of Nightlife: Rishikesh is a small city in the northern state of Uttarakhand in India and is not a metropolitan city. The city is the yoga capital of India and the city sleeps early. Students might not have happening nightlife at AIIMS Rishikesh.
Exam Pattern: AlIMS Rishikesh is one of the institutions to follow a 100% MCQ exam pattern. Although, the exam pattern seems easy and aids students in preparing for their entrance exam. Students might not get a chance how to articulate answers, and presentations and structure the answers as they do in traditional exams. This might be disadvantageous for students wanting to pursue research in their higher education. With Practice and Consistency, students can overcome any difficulties.
The potential cons of AIIMS Rishikesh are based on individual preferences and choices. It is always better to know the pros and cons before choosing any institution. It is advised for students to consider their preferences before making any decision.

If you are planning to join a research based course, there is no better University than UofT. It’s a top ranked Canadaian institute and ranked 21st worldwide by QS World Ranking 2020, thus it is highly competitive with a 43% admit rate.

Still, harder than getting into is staying there and maintaining your grades. If you ask for reasons enough to attend UofT; they will be:

One thing which makes UofT stand out amongst other universities in Canada is hands down their faculty. There are few opinions like " you being just a number", "UofT is a study hell" etc but as long as you are determined and have a good attitude towards your studies, success and exposure comes along your way. Remember that socializing is the key for you to fall in love with the University.
Research exposure:
- Being one of the top research institutes, you will certainly get a high research exposure by working with research faculties and scholars.
- World class research laboratories with high end equipment are worth mentioning.

Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam Technical University isn’t a good option for pursuing technical courses. The curriculum followed by the institute is outdated.

What is your review of the National Institute of Technology Calicut?
My sister completed her B.Tech from NIT Calicut a few years back. As a female student, she had a bitter experience at this college. Here are some of the things that she noticed during her stay at NIT Calicut-
- The girls hostel is very strict regarding outings. There is a fixed curfew from 7 pm to 6 am. Even for staying on campus after 7 pm, special permission is required.
- There are instances where you might encounter racism in the most casual manner, this is especially true for North Indian students.
- The hostel and college staff are blatantly partial towards female students and those who complain are told to leave the college.
- There is a system of daily roll call for female hostellers, which is again a gender-biased rule. The Resident Tutors are not supportive or helpful and may scold you for not attending the roll call even if you are new and not well aware of the hostel procedures.
- During LAN work or other repairs, no female attendee is present with the male workers within the girls hostel premises. The girls are expected to follow all the precautionary measures and no strict rules are laid for the male workers.
NIT Calicut is an institute of national importance with an excellent reputation and great placement records. However, as a female hosteller, my sister faced these obstacles which caused unnecessary frustration for her.

What is your review of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU)?
One of my friends recently graduated from Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). According to her, it is better to do anything rather than joining this institute. She mentioned some of the reasons that made her feel this way.
- The institute only focuses on making money and not actual education.
- The syllabus and curriculum followed by the institute are outdated.
- Practical training is not properly given, making students lag behind the industry demands.
- Basic things like a proper academic calendar are not provided.
- Re-evaluation is time-consuming and usually not done properly.
- A 60% from SPPU is not considered good enough for admission to other colleges. They do not consider it as first class.
- They are known to have the worst and uncooperative staff members. They are not at all helpful or considerate about any problem.
It is suggested that you do not opt for SPPU as they are highly unprofessional. They do not have a proper way to conduct classes, assemblies, extracurricular activities and get involved in everything half-heartedly. SPPU is a good example of how a university should be not.
