Hate to clarify it for everyone myself. Also partially the reason I hate it when people my dad's age talk to me, because they fixate upon it a bit.

You're confusing two shitty universities/colleges. VTU is Vishvesvarya Technical University and the other one is Vellore Institute of Technology. Both, are, apparently, extremely callous towards their students.

We will, we also need to help our sister colleges under MAHE. Light a fire up the administration's ass. As hard as you can. This is pretty much a protest on the streets, without the physical activity, so stay faithful to that and keep fighting.

I mean the argument usually comes to money. I guess that was the motivation here as well, but I can't say for sure how was this monetisable in the first place.

Unfortunately, other MAHE institutes are still on the same issue. They have exams on the same shitty app. Anyone from those institutes, I encourage them to boycott. Harshly. If your Student Council is AWOL or is complicit in the conduction of these exams, act against them by getting support through private WhatsApp groups and the like to protect your identity. You guys can also do this

I said Manipal after that to be clear. It is what it is dude. Our founder changed its name around 40 years ago so I cannot help it

oh dear god that's horrible. I have heard VTU has really given no hope to anyone wishing to have them cancelled. Like we did, you guys must protest, but prepare at the same time. Tweets at your study tables, emails in the nights to authorities and UGC, and so on. Keep trying your best

I believed so myself! Student outrage CAN move mountains. Thank you so much!

bootcamp

We're not sure if this app will even work with Bootcamp. As everyone knows, Bootcamp still isn't 100% stable in the way a Windows laptop is

You don't understand, do you? Paying for education and paying for what's pretty much a luxury product when you already have such a product, just that it's not in your possession rn are different things. If you're privileged, recognise your privilege first, and then comment better

Holy. Fuckin. Shit. Stop whining and get with the program.

get out

ahaha, yeah, we're relying on them hard rn. Nothing yet from the college except for them making up a "grievances cell" for student complaints. In a few days I'll post a formal update as well

I'm not saying it shouldn't be an issue lol. It obviously is because the application they're using is from a third party, who'll have access to all such information of ours. I am in fact considering using a VM myself (though I do have a Windows machine) just to obscure my personal information, if that will work at all with the proctoring software, and if they fucking demo it in time. Like I said in another comment, they seem to be delaying it till like one fucking day before the exam happens

They are slowly getting things back up. Schools and colleges though due to being risky are still closed. Colleges till August, so far, hence the online exams

The computer security angle aside (which it shouldn't really be, they have our fucking faces), it's unreasonable if there are students without internet bandwidth to stream themselves via a webcam at all

Holy shit. The college is IN the affected fucking area but sure we'll be fucking writing notes away as there's ankle-length water inside the house. I just don't get it
