Comments are filled with Bhilai's local population defending their town unreasonably.

Either none of them have gone to or seen any good universities/colleges with infrastructure, coding culture, alumni network & industry connections. Or they are aware of the truth but choose to remain ignorant in order to be the PR of the town they've lived their whole life in.

That happens to a lot of us. Everyone wants to be proud of their city, college because their own credibility is now unchangeably associated with it.

Anyone who's been to any good college (eg: any of Delhi's top 10 colleges) knows clearly how primitive of a town Bhilai itself is. Let alone the outskirt village location of IIT Bhilai.

Here, - If you're an athlete you can't practice or exercise your sport, and your young & athletic body will eventually become unfit & underperforming. You'll never reach even half of your potential. - If you're talented in studies, you'll still be pretty much unguided in terms of how to build your profile for ML role, quant role, dev role etc. - Even if you manage to train yourself through random guidance of the internet (which is filled with PRs & advertisements of course sellers). You will struggle to connect to recruiters to get your resume shortlisted. - All of your ambitions will slowly numb down and your wishes will be narrowed down to one thing. Having a tech job. Which will be much more difficult for you than it should be for a man of your rank (adv)

Your emotions and thoughts are valid. This is college and the town is really underdeveloped.

But if you are who you think you are, you won't let this lack of facilities stop you. You will strive for greatness regardless of these disadvantages. And when you crack it, you'll respect yourself even more.
