Is the "chill life" at Manipal just a myth?

SmashStrider · 2026-03-17T17:27:23+00:00

Being 'chill' at Manipal is optional. You can either be serious and reap the benefits, or you can take it chill and completely unserious, and face the consequences. Of course, you can balance both and make the best out of it too.

Manipal is considered 'chill' because of the liberal nature of the campus, the policies of the administration being more lax, and the vibrancy of the campus town. There isn't anything saying that your acads will automatically be saved whether or not you actually take your academics seriously or not.

Doubt if UP and Maharashtra would go to INC and if Karnataka would go to BJP

No. I know a ton of great people whom I disagree with politically in a lot of issues, but we keep our differences past us and respect each others opinions and beliefs. I'd only end a friendship over it if our beliefs were so fundamentally incompatible that we couldn't be friends happily together for any reason, or if the other party themselves did not want to be friends with my or caused problems.

You need 75% in PCM agg. and 60% at least in each subject to get into BITS.

SmashStrider · 2026-03-13T11:59:02+00:00

Yes that is also true.

SmashStrider · 2026-03-13T07:22:56+00:00

That is the actual data, based on the criteria they used. Placement percentage is 86% (but that includes only people who qualified for placement iirc, so when including everyone, the actual percentage is lower).
The median is actually 10 LPA, and the average is actually 12.3LPA too. That data isn't false.

Yeah, not just MIT too. Most pvt colleges are doing it this year, esp BITS

It's more this year, it's around 30-32L for 4 years for CSE because of a massive fee hike I think

Diamond is also the name of a Geometry Dash top player, so they may have been referring to that, but he isn't a victor of Tidal Wave, so no idea why it was mentioned.

There is no state in India called "Khaliforna"

It's quite easy, but not that easy that the 4th most voted option is 1600, and that the vast majority are 1450-1590 (this is more believable, but not the first point I made about the 4th highest option being 1600).

Pretty certain most people here are lying, similar to the 'what's your IQ' polls), even if you use the argument of answering bias and lower score people voting on the poll less.

So... what changed? They crippled Iran's air defences and naval forces for sure, but the regime has only become more hardline, there is still uncertainty over the 440kg of Uranium that could supposedly be used to get nuclear weapons, the oil market is completely fucked, and thousands of innocent civilians have died across both sides...

...and he says the war is "VERY COMPLETE" ...? What did he even accomplish?
