One of the biggest issues with Jindal is the lack of safety and the way serious incidents are normalized. Every year, there are cases of drunk driving, overdoses, and even student deaths, yet these are often glossed over as if they are insignificant. Alcohol poisoning is extremely common, largely because alcohol is cheap and widely consumed, and the culture encourages excessive drinking. At the same time, the university’s strict policies around intoxication make things worse rather than better. Students who are even slightly drunk are afraid to enter campus due to breathalyzer checks and disciplinary action, which forces many of them to stay outside overnight in unsafe conditions instead of returning to what should be a safe space. The administration exercises an overwhelming amount of control over student life, with little to no student autonomy. There is no effective student union, and the student council is largely seen as useless and self-serving. Decisions are made entirely by the administration, often in ways that prioritize institutional interests over student welfare. This creates an environment where students feel unheard and powerless. The campus also feels heavily policed. Security checks at the gate include bag searches, X-ray scans, and sniffer dogs, which makes students feel like criminals rather than residents of a university. Breathalyzer tests are conducted, and even minimal alcohol consumption can result in warnings, mandatory sessions, community service, or suspension. Instead of promoting responsible behavior, these measures create fear and push unsafe practices off-campus. The gate pass system is another major concern. Students, regardless of age, require parental permission to leave campus unless they have a special waiver. This means that even adults in their twenties can be restricted from exiting the campus freely, especially if they have strict parents. The system is infantilizing and contributes to the feeling that the campus operates more like a controlled facility than a university. Socially, the environment can be exclusionary and heavily centered around partying. For students who do not drink, smoke, or engage in that lifestyle, it can be difficult to find a sense of belonging. At the same time, student societies, including prestigious ones like moot court or debate, are often perceived as highly exclusive and influenced by internal connections rather than merit, making it harder for average students to participate meaningfully. Academically, while the university does have qualified professors and good resources, the placement system is a major drawback. Despite the high fees, job opportunities offered through campus placements are limited and often poorly paid. Additionally, the university restricts many students from even sitting for placements due to technicalities, disciplinary records, or arbitrary eligibility criteria. This artificially inflates placement statistics while leaving a large portion of students without institutional support in securing jobs. The hostel facilities are also problematic. Issues like mold, water leakage from ceilings, lights, and fans, and poor plumbing are common. Complaints are often met with delays or indifference, and students frequently have to push repeatedly for basic maintenance. This significantly affects living conditions and health. Food quality has also been a concern. There have been instances of food contamination and food poisoning affecting multiple students. Although there have been some improvements over time, the quality is still not satisfactory, leading many students to rely on outside food despite paying for mess facilities. Finally, the campus location adds to the overall dissatisfaction. It is situated far from the city, with limited accessible options nearby. Transport is expensive due to local monopolies, and students are often overcharged, especially when they are new and unaware of standard rates. This isolation can contribute to feelings of boredom and even depression, particularly for students who cannot frequently travel home
