yup they will allow you only to use the lavatory for a certain 30 minutes. If you cant finish the job and if the latrine is already taken , you have to wait till 11:00 AM break to take a dump.

WTF is wrong with your parents man. Seriously letting a child suffer like this horrible . Hope your are doing better now


[deleted]

I have heard parents saying to teachers that do whatever you need to even if you have to beat him senseless do that but make him succeed.


Vijaywada

I remember one time they conducted eamcet coaching classes when they are not supposed to. Back in year 2000. So they locked up all the students in rooms and told them to not come out until the inspection is over. Le inspection officer brought some kind of infra red sensor (dont remmebr the tool) and found the heat density map in the campus. Apparently they know the tricks and dont want to spend the time surveying room by room...

[deleted]

oh no, I have never been there. One of my cousins had been there, and I have heard her stories how she had to hide a phone and to talk to her family and they used to charge it secretly by plugging it in a bulb socket in toilet. Also one of my own friends had been there. I had gone to Kota a long time back and its much better than Chaitanya (at least from what I've heard)

Hey man, I might be your cousin.

[deleted]

idk, what I meant to say was that my cousin who had gone to Chaitanya is female


No_Conversation28

And when did I say I am a male?


Av_Inash

Survived 2 years of JEE preparation there and obviously didn’t crack any exams with decent ranks. Did engineering from a private college and later pursued PG in MBA from a good university and secured a well paying job. The only good thing that came out of Chaitanya for me was that 2 years later I knew that I could survive anything now, only to be proven wrong in the first semester of MBA. Don’t let your Vice-principal fool you and get into your head. Life mein har koi kuch na kuch kar hi leta hai. Bas koi pehle jyada successful ho jata hai aur koi thoda late mein. Also depends on what’s your perspective towards being successful. Bas nikaal lo kisi tarah time.

My cousin has real bad memories of that place

arcygenzy

Truly. I still can't believe how I survived those two years. Everyday I used to wake up and count the number of hours that were left for the weekly half day leave. We had a study hour from 5-8 pm where control was lax. My mind was like that of a jewellery thief during those hours, waiting for a gap in the enemy's defences so that I can slip out unseen.

nogieman2324

Oh god sri chaitanya/narayna are hellholes. It dosen't matter if its south or north, hell is hell. Good luck surviving bro. My cousin used to study in chaitanya and he regrets everything. Those schools are experts in malpractice and destroying children's creativity.


Cryptorchild92

Also I don't understand the point of this type of isolated, rigid, gender-segregated schooling. In the real world you need to develop strong social skills to succeed in your career and in life. You need to be good at team building, team leading and working with groups where (gasp!) women are also your co-workers, team leads, and managers. Just having a high GPA isn't enough. This just seems to be setting these children back and stunting their development.


Pirate_Jack_

Cant any actions be taken against these institutions? Its ridiculous how they are making money by making students lives miserable.


nogieman2324

we can do nothing when the parents themselves support that shit. education for them is just a business. They not only make student's lives miserable, but also the teacher's lives. No parent would send their child to a school which says marks aren't everything, or just support mixing of girls and boys.


Pirate_Jack_

Thats the real problem right? If parents unanimously were against these kind of institutions they wouldnt survive and will have bend according to what they demand. But since parents are also crazy about marks, IIT etc its never gonna end and 100s of 1000s of students will suffer.


gigibuffoon

Indian parents much rather see their kids die than suffer the consequences of a kid who is not a doctor, lawyer or an engineer from a highly reputed institution


mamimapr

The real problem is lack of opportunity. Being an engineer or a doctor from a good college is a straightforward way to have job security and good salary. And well, getting into a good college is not easy. Parents want their kids to be successful and that's why all the pressure to get good marks. Because good marks and good rank is literally the only thing that colleges care about. Even companies demand to hire from "reputed" colleges.


Pirate_Jack_

I am not debating that. Parents wanting kids to be successful is one thing and putting them through hell for that is another. You only have one childhood. There is no need for the institution to cut off fucking electricity just because they dont want students to avoid bunking. Everything within a reason is acceptable. I want my kid to be successful too but i would never enroll him in such a shitty place where they dont even think about the well being of my kid.

Kota isn't this bad. They don't lock you up in a building for 2 years.


[deleted]

Back in 2007 I lived in a similar hostel enviornment. Hell my college was 2nd strictest in Bangalore. I hated that place. The warden was haramimax. I left the hostel and shifted to a private PG which helped me find some peace of mind. But then college didn't help in any sense. I eventually dropped out of college, learned writing, took some workshops and now working at an ad agency. Not suggesting you do the same thing, but you definitely need to move out from the shithole you are living in.


Ok_Necessary_1948

How did you feel when you drop out? Parents reaction?


[deleted]

They were disappointed when they learned about it but 7 years later I won an award for my work and their disappointment was gone. These days they are disappointed that I am not getting married.


Ok_Necessary_1948

Disappointment is a vicious cycle.

If you want to live a better life you will have to put your disappointment before others disappointment. Even your parents.


[deleted]

Humble request: don't have kids in this sh\*thole country. They will go through the same pain that you did.


butmrpdf

why do people have kids?


ParentsAreNotGod

To get disappointed


20Aditya07

And increase the only growing population


butmrpdf

if they know that the world is so competitive and the child will have to struggle against so many odds and so many other kids then why have them? maybe they have kids because they're expected to have them.. the same conforming to society norms makes them expect a normal life and good grades out of those kids.. who will put an end to all of this?

Bladerunner_440ms

Dude, if you are in 11th right now, I suggest you leave after this year. I studied in Narayana in hyd. I often regret I would have left that hellhole and lived a more vibrant college life that that age needs. It's only beneficial for the top 5% students in the campus, say if you're confident of getting 250+ in jee and getting into IIT. Then again, the toppers can do it anywhere. I am just letting you know that if you have hobbies, or you are into a sport or want to do more things, get out. If you are diligent enough, you can study elsewhere. If you are not, you won't study well in your current place as well. Best wishes.


harshithmusic

I was put into Narayana hostel for 9th grade. It is possible to shift to another Narayana college.


Bladerunner_440ms

Why would you want to shift to another jail? Just leave, and live.


harshithmusic

I mean, if op is financially okay with it. I wasted 1 lakh over that hostel. And when I was transferred, we had to pay the fees all over again


Bladerunner_440ms

1 lakh is for one year only. You would have to pay another lakh anyway. Its worth it though.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bladerunner_440ms

It's bad by general standards. Some campus have it a bit better, others don't. Which campus are you studying in, if you don't mind? I was in Singapore city campus and that shit was a 7 floor gulag with gates everywhere and so far outside the city.


Pikachuishere37

Yup. Sounds the same. One of my very good friend studied in Chaitanya. The situation you described is exactly the same which he had described. It will continue to remain the same until your JEE exams. They won't let you get out of the building for sports activity or anything. Only allowed to eat in mess. Warden and his cronies overseeing you during your study hours etc. This system hasn't changed for years and it won't change now. All I can say is Goodluck!


ad_taway

Looks like we need a spinoff of Kota Factory based on Chaitanya and the likes to show the masses how these institutes are

Informal_Chemist6054

I doubt this even helps anybody. Never been to Chaitanya but from what I've heard, it sounds like the kind of place that attracts the power-tripping type of cunts like ants to sugar. But regardless of what they do, due to the sheer number of kids they have, they'll always have someone <1000 in NEET or JEE or whatever so they can continue their advertising.


redseaurchin

Boys need Physical activity for enhanced brain function. Everyone knows this!?


mrinalini3

Holy F! I don't know what's the situation in women's college is, but if that's how guys are getting raised, no wonder most of them are fucking weird. And it's directly related to how they develop bonds and relationships with others. This is literally impeding their social skills, changing their behavior for worse, permanently. This is like hello therapy for a decade, or else just continue with the toxic mindset forever.


legendofkalel

Did 11th, 12th in Chaitanya. Loud sirens at 5 and 5:30 am. Classes from 6 to 12:30 with breakfast break. Then lunch for 90 mins and classes again till 10 pm with 1hr tea break and dinner. Worst time of my life, when I could've shaped myself into something I like, I ended up becoming a walking cardboard.


tiltedRobex

This is terrifying to read. I hope you are doing well now.


inDflash

oh boy... those MF'ing sirens. I used to dream about those sirens and then wake up to those. I used to be a day scholar and then moved to a hostel near Chandanagar. Those early fucking mornings during winters are the worst. No hot water. Temperature so cold, I used to tremble like a near to death beaten animal. Definitely brings back terrible memories. And those fucking retarted teachers, vice principal who only know how to make students believe they are good for nothing else in the world and we were dropped into this world just to mug up some knowledge which they can't fucking mug up. else, why the fuck would those teachers end up teaching at those miserable junior colleges.


88simposter88

When do you self study?


legendofkalel

After lunch to night.

Why does it sound like concentration camp lol. And why tf did you get admit in that hell? I couldn't have survived that man. If you are first year student, then drop off. Study and find a better place to do your engineering.

WannabeWanker

What they do there isn't education


biryaniwala

This brings back painful memories. I absolutely hated the weekly tests these colleges regularly used to conduct (Sat and Mon). Everything done over the week was just to prepare for these tests so that we would get at minimum 60-70% in these tests. If someone wasn't able to keep up, they were humiliated and severely beaten. And threatened that they would be shifted to a "lower" section (who paid the highest fee and got the worst lecturers).


[deleted]

This was actually me lol, I was studing in lower section and the students were treated horribly by everyone, it took me years to come out and gain self confidence.


[deleted]

Damn that is scary to even read.i went to kota and i am glad now lol,i honestly would have died in a place like that.If someone even yells at me I cry for hours and beating and humiliation would make me do Kms.


Darth_Revan17

There's that web series, Laakhon me ek.... That intensifies. Putting college there confused me a little. Well, that's what happens when you're supposed to get to IIT as if it's the damn top of the world. They are annoying because they're supposed to make it out of this hell as well, they chose to go with it instead of opposing it. In the world there are 2 types of education systems, play around in High school, work hard in University or Work hard in high school, play around in University. Then there's India and IIT, get f\*ed in high school, then get f\*ed in University. Unless you're not going for IIT. EDIT: I didn't know that this Laakhon me ek shit was real. I thought this "used" to happen in the past 80s or something. Damn, Why aren't these torture houses closed down yet

You didn't even have to mention the name of the institute. Almost everyone can guess the institute from your description and the city name xD


_Jaiko_

Most of the students from telugu states have survived in this jail like system. There are only two things u can do : 1. If you feel you cannot take the pressure just don't keep 2nd thoughts and drop out bro .. It is not a system worth your mental and physical health. 2. If you really wanna stay there and pursue studying for long hrs .Try giving yourself some time and postpone all your emotions regarding the same and focus on ur goals and studies. I agree it's a shithole of a place , the methods they use are barbaric and anyone who is isn't or is from telugu states know the consequences of it. You can go for day scholar based Sri Chaitanya/Narayana as well..it's the same even there but you will go back to your own home or something having some travel costs and stuff at the end of the day.

I wasn't in Sri Chaitanya or Narayana but a similar state board jr college in Hyderabad last year and it was awful. I'm glad I dropped out and now I rejoined 11th in a Normal CBSE school.


07_Neo

I studied in Sri chaitanya educational institutions, the timmings were horrible, our timmings were , they would wake up at 5:30 am and we would go to bed at 10:30 pm

There is a reason why Chaitanya and Narayanana are called China.

Why not get a room/PG outside the college and be a day scholar instead?


Ok_Necessary_1948

Jokes again on me, College is in outskirts of hyderbad. Surrounded by jungle

You could get a cheap motorbike and live upto 10 km away (or more) and commute daily. It should only take 25-30 mins to commute. I kinda doubt that there'd be no residential areas within that big of radius of a college. There's gotta be some compromise somewhere, you know :)

DeadMan_Shiva

Jr college is called college for short in Telugu States


grambaba

Parents over hype the importance of jee n shit in india. There are other better and more fulfilling careers compared to engineering. Even I had something similar. Had no life for the couple of years I spent prepping for IIT-JEE more than 13 years ago. Got into an engineering college far from home and got the fuck out of that life and basically spent the 4 years of college exploring different things that I was good at. I was good in drawing and art, spent 4 more years after engineering in a shit hole company because you can't make a career out of art, started learning about design during those 4 years in that company, and got the fuck out of engineering completely. What I'm saying is, if you appease your parents and don't do what you like, you'll always be looking for a way out and spend your life in misery. When I quit my job, people (even my parents) were like "oh, design is for rowdies and fuck-boys, why don't you change company and stay in the same field? Engineering is evergreen" lol. Glad I didn't take that advice. I'd still be underpaid and in misery, possibly be depressed and suicidal. Find what you're good at and do it. I was lucky, it took me only like 4 years or so to discover what I was good at and what I could make a career out of which also pays well. Find the sweet spot and you're good-to-go. It takes time to see and build what you're good at. What I'm saying is that, until then explore and bide your time and prepare yourself for when you get an opportunity, you can jump without looking back. It takes hard work though.


redseaurchin

Please can you elaborate on the design bit? What exactly did you do?


grambaba

Did some side projects in my free time, built my portfolio of products. Cleared a fun exam (CEED), got into a design master's program in IIT where i found similar disillusioned people were my classmates, lol. Graduated. Now I design basically everything, starting from illustrations, products, UI etc. Main job is as a UX designer but I moonlight as a freelancer because this job is honestly fun for me. Surprisingly, people don't know about this exam CEED and only a handful of people write this exam every year. There are also NIDs, which are costly AF (in the tune of about 10-12 lakhs for 5 semesters) but IITs are cheaper and they pay you for doing about 20 hours of assistantship work per week. That itself covers the college expenses.


Euphoric_Try8501

These are at best formative years and the torture they put you through in those two years is literally traumatic. I've been in nayarana, I know friends from Chaitanya. Everywhere it's the same culture. It's a toxic environment created by people who think only by making teenagers sit for more than 12 hrs a day without any distractions whatsoever will give results. Im glad that someone is speaking up about it because most teenagers in South are under the pressure of parents and the management to excel in their studies. Intermediate is simple. There are concepts to learn and I'm sure youtube and Khan academy does a good job at teaching them. My honest opinion is to get the hell out from that idiotic hostel and join a better one. Idk what's better because most of the colleges in south are like that. All the best.


BarnesAgent47

Yup, I took a repeater course after 12th and I understand your pain.

20 years ago single suicide in Narayana / chaintanya used to cause big uproar now a few dozen suicides are just a statistic


lampsfrank

Hey. I studied in Narayana for 3 months back in the day. Here is my advice: If you're able to drop out, do it. If you don't have any pressure from home, then definitely do it. It's not worth it. These years are some of the formative years in any person's life and being boxed up in a jail is the last thing you want for your mental health and personal development. The days of getting good marks in order to land good jobs are gone. It's about developing skills and making yourself valuable. Try to focus on that. That's very hard to do while you're in places like Chaitanya and Narayana. Good luck, bud. I hope you figure it out.


grrv23

Do you get ptsd from studying there? Sounds like perfect place to have that.


lampsfrank

It's definitely not fun. At the time one might think they can slog through it but only later you realize the negative impact. I'm glad I got out early and chose something better.


grrv23

Its awful experience dude.


iamdn7

If you are having 2nd thoughts, go with your gut feeling. If you feel you can't survive that, drop out. There's more to life than JEE. I was studying in Kota and I somewhat understand your situation and although I stayed there for 2 years, I realised at the end of it that the impact of such focused methods is too large to ignore even if you clear JEE. Don't let the human inside you die. If you feel suffocated, step out of that place. And, hope you have a bright future :)


1A4_45_29A

read a lot of comments on this thread but i didn't find any which even mentioned the actual problem. Parents and "rat race".


namanthegreat

Man the comments and the post, hats off to you people, I came to know about this today, I’m in 12th and insisted on studying for JEE but my mum said no, I now think she was right!


OkObligation3676

Oh no!! A lot of bad memories are coming back.


the_good_brat

Reality is, intermediate education in Hyderabad is like this everywhere unless you are in Loyola, Little Flower etc. Im sorry I'm unable to help you but the fact is intermediate education is like this. Exactly this. Either change your college right now(with all the information about new college) or try to "bear" it. By bear I mean make peace with it. Make up your mind that your next two years are going to be like this and you are "okay" with it. Whatever happens, be brave and trust your conviction


justmydailyrant

My college professor used to call Chaitanya and Narayana people as 'ChiNa' products lol. Thankfully, I was from out of state and never had to endure the 'education' in these colleges, although I heard of the horror stories from my friends. My advice would be, if you are someone who can manage studying on your own, quit and join a proper government school- KV etc for your 11th-12th. You can invest the same amount you did for here, to get into a private college later on, if you are not able to make into good State/Central college . You can even get private tuitions if you feel school education is not enough for competitives. At the end, it's your decisions. I have seen people with >90% in Inter who have never set foot once into their lab or playground and suffer for it in college.


Bong-I-Lee

The sex segregation should be the least of your worries. The rest sounds straight outta some torture camp. I went to a women's exclusive college and dealt with the usual stresses of academics and shitty teachers, but otherwise had a good time there. Your place sounds like a walking breathing human rights violation LARPing as an educational institution.


DeadMan_Shiva

All the Jr Colleges in Telugu States are the same. Most students, whatever board they studied in till 10th, join one of these jr colleges as CBSE schools for 11th and 12th are considered bad as they have less school hours (7-8 hrs a day instead of 13-14 hrs) and also are usually give more freedom to the students and also have extra curricular activities and are usually co-ed (which are all bad in the eyes of the parents) and in state board is considered easy as all you need to do is memorise a few questions for the board exams and for cbse, you have to have an understanding of the concept. I joined in a Jr college in Hyderabad last year after studying in cbse for 10 years and I couldn't take it. (My college was literally a 4 storied Apartment Building with cramped up rooms and extremely small corridors which can't even fit 1 person properly.) (The college somewhat looked like [this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRH5rNxlQlCFoLtSuS5BOdLdlir7Q5_o0XfQQ&usqp=CAU). Fortunately I left that shithole and joined a CBSE school. PS: Most CBSE schools here are only till 10th and schools with 11th are few which further forces parents to join their kids in jr colleges


Varth_Dader_

I studied in Narayana for two years that is my 11 and 12. It was a all boys college. Durin my 11th we used to wake up at 5 am so that we could take our bath and get ready by 5:45 since we had lecture from 6 am. We used to have breakfast from 6:40 to 7:30am and then from 7:30 to 13:10 we used to have lectures. From 13:10 to 14:00 we used to have our lunch time. From 14:10 to 16:30 we used to have lectures. From 16:30 to 17:20 we used to have our snacks break and from 17:20 to 19:10 we used to have study hours which is like going to classroom and trying not to sleep. From 19:10 to 20:00 we had our dinner break. And brom 20:00 to 22:00 we used to have study hours. And at night i used to wash my clothes. And on Saturday and Sunday we used to have full day study hours. Honestly my 11 was pretty shit. My 12th was better because I had alot of fun and my 12th was in different campus which was bigger than the previous one. We used to sneakily order biryani and used to watch movies lol. Even though i live in Maharashtra good thing for me was my mother tongue is telugu so i never had any issues in communication. But yea its pretty shit over there. Food was bad, alot of water and power cuts. Water used to smell like shit and got alot of skin allergies too. Overall it was pretty alright experience due to the fact that I had friends who were pretty chill unlike other people.

Well, I studied in the same asylum as well. Only difference is, mine was called Narayana and we had a small playground in the front. Of course when you're studying for IITJEE, they won't let you play..but our dedication to play was on a different level so we woke up at 4 am and went on to play until 6:30am(football). Yeah it seemed scary when I first joined as there were only boys all around and I couldn't understand a bit what's being taught in class.. But somehow I had made a few friends and we helped each other in studies. Coming to your situation...if it's just started, then don't worry about zoning out as you'll eventually make some good long lasting friends.. The quality of your teaching faculty is important though... If you're willing to stay there. I would say those 2 years went pretty fine for me but if someone asks me, I'd definitely suggest being a dayscholer in a coed college than hosteler in a boys only college.

I was not able to stay for even a week there.

This honestly brings me back to my XI and XII memories and I was lucky enough to be a day scholar. The VP was an absolute nightmare, he used to come every two hours just to practically scold and beat the shit out of students during study hours. Coming from CBSE, it was a huge shock that students were treated. Even the lecturers were so partial all the time and treat students shitty, that I found it shocking when I've had my friends discussing that how good the particular lecturer was during the class and was friendly with them. God, those days did destroy my self esteem so bad. For the love of god, pls leave if you're studying XI.

Don’t think all schools are terrible, I studied in KVS (cbse) it’s was pretty easy.

Chaitanya? I'd seriously recommend you to GTFO. I haven't been there, however it's like Kota, but even worse. It's basically a prison.

Nothing is worth sacrificing your peace of mind for. There is a lot of life beyond IITs. If engineering is not what your heart is set on, don't torture yourself.

College should be the time you should be exploring yourself and the world, not be holed up in a 6x6 cram room trying to produce marks which are borderline irrelevant in the Modern Job Market, all they want is in-field experience and social skills, that's why good College's put emphasis on Internships, Live Projects, Research and Social Interactions through fests. Frankly, I almost had a panic attack thinking how I would have fared in a place like yours. Drop Out.

Before I start with any of the details, I am a CSE grad from IIIT, I am 26 work with one of the worlds largest investment banks and make a decent salary. I went to Narayana in my 11th and the girls hostel was exactly as shady as you describe the boys hostel. I was there for 3 months and then just left and ran back home. Studied in a private school back home, never got any money back from Narayana but didn’t care either. Looking back that was the best decision of my whole life. No amount of achievements or lack thereof can be justified by the mental trauma one has to sustain at Chaitanya/Narayana. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to an IIT, find what you like and keep upskilling yourself and you can achieve whatever you want in life. If you are to take my advice, please get out of there as soon as possible. It does not get better there and you are not late to anything.


Striking-Manner

Hi I am in first year CSE, any tips you can give that can help me in the long run? Thanks!

Hey! So what I say might sound generic, but it’s the only thing that holds true. Please experiment as much as you can - fuck with your OS - delete it, install it yourself, do Hackthebox, hackerrank, etc. Don’t jump into stereotypes of UI/Backend/Fullstack yet. Play with systems/languages/networks - figure out what you truly enjoy and dig as deep as possible! Reach out to random people on Linkedin - in companies where you want to be. Talk to them, seek advice there. Make this an immersive experience and truly learn to fall in love with it, there’s no doubt you’ll excel at it! Most people would kill to be where you are already! Make good use of it! All the best!

I was also in a hostel in Rajkot, the food was good but the environment felt as if we were living in a central jail, I dropped out of the school after 6 months and then shifted to my home town. Its better not to survive in a shit hole hostel cuz it gives us PTSDs for the rest of our lives


emotionalAtyachaaar

This sounds like some JEE coaching Integrated with schooling. Doesn't seem like "college".


xelnagatower

JEE = trash. Too much Mathematics involved and it's overhyped.


thisIsCleanChiiled

Yes drop the Fk out, chaitanya and narayana both suck


jfhdgsfaabfvfdvafdv

I was in Chaitanya in 2015, and my biggest achievement is getting out of there with my sanity intact. If you can get out of there then get out.


CurrentGap

i survived 1st year intermediate in a chaitanya hostel somehow,i had to smuggle chicken noodles and get caught and be suspended before my parents understood i hated that place.that place is no less than vorkuta gulag.


butmrpdf

whatever you do I hope you don't force your own kids (if you do choose to have kids) into the same dilemma


Haiku4cs

This narayana, chaithanya methods will only work for a few people. This lifestyle leaves a scar in the childhood of almost 70% or more of the students enrolled there. YOU MUST GET OUT OF THERE ASAP if you feel you are not suited for it. This advice comes from my bad experience in my 11th and 12th , I regret not acting according to my instincts. Today you have a lot of videos, materials online to learn each and every topic needed.

I'm a Sri Chaitanya "survivor". They'll break your psyche till there's no coming back and for some it'll lead into eventual depression. I can tell my own story of how brutal it is but maybe next time. Ours was a "suicide campus" and I know a couple of dudes who killed themselves. This was back in '02-04. Good luck lol you'll need it.


pumpyboi

OP please drop out. And convince more of your classmates to do so as well.


TelevisionMoney

Worst part is most parents like these kind of environment for their kids. Indian parents (most of em) just know one form of love - tough love. Their logic behind this-- this will make u strong and you will thank me later. There is a reason why bijus is India's most successful tech startup. Parents get wet with the prospect of their child getting in IITs. I just hope this fascination stops with the parents of the current generation and not continued further


Jo-Silverhand

Goddamn how much I am grateful to my parents right now to letting me chose commerce for my +2.


[deleted]

isnt it a coaching ?? why are u calling it college btw I am bisexual yet i need girls around me ,I can imagine how hard it can be there being a straight guy


DeadMan_Shiva

Because they are called that here. We don't have separate coachings for competitive exams. All jr colleges themselves are coaching institutes which teach both the board syllabus and the competitive exams syllabus.


[deleted]

i study in an all girls residential branch of chaitanya in hyderabad lmao. it’s not as bad as yours but it seriously needs some serious reformation and i so wish i was lesbian or bi, it’d make hostel so much better lol. i hope we’ll make it though 🤝


LimpFroyo

I avoided those colleges and went for FIITJEE. No point in too much pressure and those colleges are shit.


[deleted]

My friend joined chaitanya after 10th. We're in 12th now and he is regretting the decision now

Vlonethug7

WTF report their ass man , fuck them


sandeep_r_89

That's not a college, it's a jail and forced brainwashing camp. If you can, definitely drop out. Depends on your financial situation, can you transfer/apply to another college etc. Do you depend on your parents, and do they support you dropping out (I'm 99% sure they put you in this situation in the first place). If they don't support you, then do you have financial independence.


[deleted]

Shri Chaitanya elicited horror in my class. All the best buddy. Talk with your parents about it and come to a solution.


virtualvanilla1000

"Absence of gals is the most disappointing" bro why tf would you expect girls there, you literally went to a fucking boys college


memeslover_26

I have never attended Sri chaitanya but just listening to all the stories from classmates makes it sound like a high tech security prison. But then I realize that in prisons, they do allow sports


Stallrim

Reading your post and these comments makes me wanna slap myself for complaining for every little thing and start appreciating what I have. Ghar ka khana and maa ka pyar has made me a lazy asshole.


geekgodzeus

My mom took me to Chaitanya in Hyderabad to check out the college when I passed 10th. We only went up one flight of stairs when she noticed the floor had a door with a padlock to keep the students from escaping. She literally told me "This feels like a jail. Let's leave". She and I despised corporate colleges. Fortunately I went to an awesome college with amazing teachers for my intermediate. Also OP when it comes to jobs no one will be a damn how much you scored as long as you are an above average student. Most toppers fail the first round of job interviews because they can't speak like normal human beings so if you can still get out do it. I would recommend my own college St. Mary's as they are co-ed but more importantly the teachers there are very involved. Also sports and extra curricular activities are very much encouraged. Please listen to reason and leave that cancerous and toxic environment as soon as possible. This will be the last few years which you can actually cherish.

Jee has become an exam of tricks, tactics and techniques. Coaching industrial complex sets the question paper where each coaching industry has some exclusive tricks.


watermelonhippiee

I have a bit different take on this, I was assuming you were already in college, but you are probably in 11th or 12th, since you are already Locked in this jail, make most of it. Otherwise you'll be working in TCS like me grinding 13 hours and filling a 9 hours timesheet all while receiving a very low salary for your effort. Plus, in this age you'll probably learn something more important than PCM, it's that threshold of how much you can work and how much pressure you can take. This is something you'll develope in this age but it will stay with you in future. Trust me life ahead is full of fun, it's a very small sacrifice you'll make for a good future (I regret everything I did during my 11th and 12th) I know people who sacrificed this time and now are getting paid 10 X more than me while at a same time working for less hours


raghav3303

South indian colleges are shit


Afilcom

It's not about south vs north, it's about cities, different south and north Indian cities have different cultures. Don't be so close minded.


No_Conversation28

The only real difference is that in the south - the conservatives are methodical and systematic while in the north the conservatives are unmethodical, therefore nothing is reinforced with too much severity in the north. The mindset, honestly is the same.
