11 Awesome College Acceptance Letters Shared in Instagram

ByRaghuram Sukumar

Waiting time begins to hear the college admission decision after submitting the application. It’s all good, when the #accepted admission decision letters arrives in mail or via email. While other applicants are waiting, let’s have some fun going over the some of the college acceptance letters. I collected some interesting admission decision’s letters with commentary,…

  1. There’s this problem. At one time, IITs undergraduate education is hyped in the media, even though, that has to be debated and the relevance of JEE must be questioned, yet Tier-3 universities of europe and even australia are producing outstanding research work in the field of Engineering and Technology too. IIT administrations must not sleep over on this fact, and must ask the faculty to perform or perish. The rankings are for post graduations and research works, not for undergrads. In fact, in western countries, the undergraduate education is not even considered to be something of worthy. India is a bit different, and is mired by cronyism and hegemony of castes/communities, and this goes at workplace and universities too.

    Also, let us not forget. The brand of IIT are a scarcity based brand, and, coaching factories have much bigger role in creating this.

  2. sir my name is vishal i got my gre score 286 so pls guide me which universities i will get and is there any problem for visa for this score

  3. now why punjab university is above IITs is that some of the deptts of punjab university are world class e.g. physics,mathematics,life sciences etc. these are world class deptts where the level of research is world class.
    but sadly the engg& tech deptt is very poor
    the main measure of judging a uinversity is the amount of research that is going on.

    1. Even for Engineering, I did not find IIT anywhere on top. IIT Bombay 351-400 and IIT roorkee same. Roorkee university also has falled in brand, after MHRD converted it to IIT. So much for this Indian government. IIT bombay actually has much better outlook, and promotes lateral thinking, that’s why they score better.

      As I have already mentioned, IIT system is being damaged by the MHRD of India. What started as a venture of public law 480 where western world and Indian engineers were communicating to promote Indian industries, science and technology, is now getting damaged by the MHRD. It appears that Indian government still have a heart of socialist, where, they want to control everything and promote cronyism and oligarchy.

  4. It is very immature to comment on rankings created by an prestigious institution like this one . Panjab university is a multi disciplinary university and accommodates more than 55 streams of education . While IIts are definitely good in Technology but they are limited to technology only . PU on the other hand excels in its research works and other subjects . Even though technical department at PU is great in itself . If an educated person should take a guess , PU provides what is expected of a an International university . Not to forget how beautiful it is and in which city it is situated “Chandigarh -India’s most livable city”. All in all PU rocks …. Make peace with it .

  5. Panjab University deserves to be on this list. Guys whosoever don’t like it should study in this university once.

  7. Wow i did an MS from Durham University which had just IELTS+academics as the entry requirement and its ranked in top 100 !Defintely the infrastructure and quality professors!

    1. There’s a myth amongst Indians that cracking tough examination means the universities are very prestigious. There’s a huge queue for maruti-suzuki, but merecedes benz, despite being costly, offers quality.

      The point here is that Indian Government has a heart of socialist, and hence, our education system is becoming joke. And IIT’s have made sure that baniya owned coaching factories make huge profit, and no, these coaching factories don’t add any value.

      If nothing is done to curb these anti national activities, then, I feel, that a revolution might happen in India, not baniya AAP types, but bloody revolutions. This always happens.

  12. I can see your frustration. These rankings are for university as a whole and specific to engineering.

    Reply

    1. @Raghu
      My frustration is at the times rankings. True that the indian system of education is bad, but it isn’t so far gone that IITs rank lower than Punjab university. I think the methodology of this survey needs to be scrutinized.

      your humble reader would prefer it much if you posted rankings from QS or US News which are at least more reliable!

      Reply

      1. You need to read my criticism about US news rankings. I think you have to pay QS to be even included in rankings.

      2. It is appalling that people don’t consider non technical education as education in itself .
        Why should criterion be based on technology only ??.
        P.s just to add … Pu produced Two Prime ministers of India . and Two Presidents as well , That certainly is impressive .

        Reply

    2. There is Times higher education world ranking available for engineering and technology, which is more relevant for prospective engineering and science students.than these overall university ranking. Please publish that. Engineering and Technology ranking will show that IIT’s are far ahead than Punjab University. You can not not compare Apples with Potatos. .

  13. If a standalone ranking is done for the masters programs , the UK masters ,being 12 months/16 months, should be the last – too expensive , very short time , invalid in india .

    Reply

    2. Masters degree are for research and phd, not to get jobs.

      What happens is that these graduates are overqualified for Indian industry, as India’s industry is still in middle ages.

  14. I think we Indian’s know why we lost our place in the list….Yup The Dollar to rupee ratio is to blame….Also Our Education System is Ancient and Primitive not Made in real world and In real time…

    1. Sad part – change is not coming or not coming soon enough. Even in USA education is a business but it comes with quality.
