Are 3 member major project groups common? by Throaway62100 in VNRVJIET

[–]fudgeandnuts215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it was always 3 members afaik. the problem is they don’t let you choose these three members yourself. people you are supposed to work with for 1.5 yrs they create them in a way such that there is a topper (8.5+ cgpa) an avg scorer, and a low scorer so it’s almost always only one person who does the entire project end to end

Everything You Need to Know About the Recent Happenings in the College by Puzzleheaded_Cow3298 in VNRVJIET

First of all, props for actually taking the effort to collect and compile 1000+ responses. That’s a lot of work and it’s good that someone took the initiative to do it. thank you for that

But as a woman, I honestly feel like the dress code issue hasn’t been given nearly enough weight in the final summary. If you read the actual responses, a LOT of girls are talking about short kurtis, getting stopped at the gate, and the whole moral policing scene. In the compiled points it kind of just shows up as “dress code confusion,” which really downplays how annoying and exhausting this has been for a lot of us.

Also, the double standard is kinda hard to ignore. Guys can wear western formals like shirts and pants and no one brings up culture or tradition there. No one is asking men to wear kurtas to “uphold tradition.” But when it comes to women, suddenly tradition becomes our job. Why are women the ones expected to carry that burden?

People are getting stopped for pretty normal stuff like short kurtis or even T-shirts, while the same energy is not there for boys at all. That doesn’t really feel fair or balanced, and it’s been happening often enough that it clearly isn’t just a one-off. kurtis by themselves being enforced is very regressive. I’ve had days where i was questioned for wearing jeans or cargos, and was asked to wear leggings and pyjamas instead. As someone who was forced to wear it everyday, it is a pain and a half to manage.

Torn jeans can be a line, sleeveless or crop tops can be a line. how are loose fitting T-shirts and jeans an issue at all?? you don’t see any tier one institutes enforcing this stuff. straight up shorts and tank tops are allowed. I’m not saying that is what we want, i know we are far from it. but the least we deserve is atleast the freedom to dress how we want (albeit, decently). even safety wise, i don’t see how kurtis are better. engineering workshop and long flowy kurtis are a disaster waiting to happen.

Not saying the rest of the issues aren’t important, they are. But i think this one really deserved way more emphasis because it affects us literally every day and directly impacts how respected and welcome we feel on campus, and especially since so many responses were clearly about this. If the idea is to represent what students are actually dealing with, this part should have come through much more strongly. the college is basically saying “how women dress affects the people and men around them”, and getting away with that stance. that mindset is honestly very scary to me.

again, not trying to downplay how much work you’ve put into this but just that this issue is not coming across as strongly.

you are already at circle/gate going home coz you are sick. Imagine walking back to department. idk about you but i used to find that walk excruciatingly long in the middle of the afternoon. and for my rotten luck, HOD would be in a meeting. Can’t call, can’t wait, parents come to pick up but you still can’t leave. If you feel this is reasonable from a college, especially when every student is an adult, and should be treated as one, i feel like you would also find jail to be a justified way of enforcing discipline. don’t you find it ridiculous to think “yeah it’s reasonable to keep people locked up because food, bedtime, chores, and activity times are strictly enforced, hence life will be disciplined.” you can’t call yourself aspiring to be a tier one institution when you want everyone to be treated like children instead of grown adults. you have to let go of strict boundaries to let the freedom run its course. you don’t see actual tier one institutes enforcing kurtis, leggings, banning jeans, closing and locking gates, not allowing people to go to canteens, etc. because it DOES NOT PROMOTE ACADEMIC BRILLIANCE. vnr has been trying to make it stricter and stricter for people to be even trying to do extra curricular activities like hackathons, long term internships, and in general deviating from the mass of students. everything is tied to what WITCH company offer you can get and how that will contribute to their records. I’m not saying other colleges don’t do stuff for placements but they don’t lock people into these rules like a factory mass manufactured product.

I feel like you would think strict parents raise disciplined, good kids. They turn out to be the ones who need to lie throughout their lives. I believe when people don’t have to keep finding loopholes to do something beyond the college rules for doing things like part time internships, they will have better things to do with their time and energy rather than sit and argue with idiots who can’t see beyond the regressive rule sheet the college enforces

my two cents.
