What They Say

The environment at a corporate college would be stifling for sensitive students.

Their day begins and ends with books. Classes would begin at 5.30 a.m. sharp. I never called up my parents as it would require me to stand in queue for a minimum of half-an-hour.

Rather, I would sleep through whatever little free time

I was allowed. Many would get depressed due to the discrimination shown on the basis of performance.

Those in the Fast Track Batch would get egg and extra milk in nights while those in other batches wouldn’t.

Students in lower sections of corporate intermediate colleges get second-rate treatment.

While upper sections have top class lecturers, others will have to make do with mediocre faculty and tutoring. Irony is that those who secure lowest marks in the entrance test are made to pay the highest fee. Hostel conditions are terrible.

They are not maintained properly.

Two years at corporate intermediate college killed my originality.

We were required to mug up only what was there in text books. Any doubts outside the curriculum would be discouraged.

Only two newspapers arrived for 1000 students that stayed in the hostel.

You would not know what was happening around the world. In fact, my friends came to know about the Kandahar Hijack drama through me as I stayed for three days at relatives’ home due to illness.

Your creativity will go for a toss by the time you finish intermediate. I felt I would have fared better had a stayed with my parents.

Students of the first year get admission into relatively better hostel branches. Once sophomores, they will be shifted to branches with inadequate accommodation and facilities.

Where I studied, non-performing students would be beat up by the Junior Lecturers.

My sister returned after staying for a week in a corporate college hostel. She could not withstand the pressure there.

When I visited her, I was witness to the heartrending sight of girl students sitting in the lawns, each weeping piteously to herself.
