A student studying there shared it with me. Just look at the overcrowding there’s barely even space to walk. Centres like these keep taking admissions and charging heavy… pic.twitter.com/smm67CYXsh

Yesterday visited the centre for admission, but the whole setup felt less like an institute & more like a hospital OPD. There were 7–8 counsellor desks everywhere, and the next round of counselling inside cabins made it feel like I’d brought my son for a medical consultation
