What is life like at NIE Mysore apart from studies? How do students spend their time there etc?

I'll keep this straightforward for you. Life at NIE Mysore can be pretty tough. The reasons might be the infrastructure, the poor practical application of academics, the college's location far from the city center, and the cultural fests and events, which many find to be quite pointless. Speaking of the college fest, it often seems like a big waste of money and time. There’s usually a lack of planning and funding, and the event seems to get worse each year. They even release promo videos that end up being quite embarrassing and silly.

As for the students, many are absorbed in social media, living in a sort of alternate reality, while others are deep into their studies, often without a clear idea of why they are doing what they’re doing. There are only a few who seem to be truly carefree and exploring life. On the bright side, Mysore has a lot of natural beauty and places to visit, so there are good opportunities for exploration.

Overall, it's similar to what you might find at many other colleges. But remember, life can change in unexpected ways if you take charge. This is just my personal take; others might have different experiences.

There are loads to do at NIE Mysore besides studying. The atmosphere is really calm and laid-back. Student groups like ONYX and IEEE are great for keeping busy. I was part of Onyx myself. It's a mix of fun and learning where the more you get involved, the more fun you have, and you end up making lots of friends. You'll find there's always something happening with your college buddies.

Each semester has its own events to keep things lively. The odd semester is perfect for visiting nearby spots like Mysore, with Chamundi Hills being a must-see. For sports fans, there are decent facilities to enjoy some games. If you like helping out, there's an orphanage and an old age home close by.

Since Mysore is a peaceful city, you don't have to worry about traffic. You can get to the movies or grab a meal in no time. Enjoy your time there!
