Bitter truths about Life at IIT: Fun tid-bits for new IITians

JEE Advanced 2015 is over and soon about 10,000 of the lucky bookworms will now be allowed inside the hallowed gates of the IITs as the 2015-2019 batch. Here are some of the major disappointments & bitter truths you might face at the IITs:

• IITs do employ world-class Professors but they delve in ‘Research’ rather than ‘Teaching’.
• ‘Unlucky’ IITians are still praying for Girl to Boy ratio to perk up.
• World wakes up at 5 am. It is the time for IITians to go to sleep!
• The day you dread at IIT is your ‘birthday’! A BPL in this context means ‘Bum Pe Laat’.
• Job offer of 1 crore per annum is ‘rare’. However, placements at IITs have really shone in the last 2-3 years.
• 1 suicide per year has almost become annual sacrifice for Brand IIT.
• Considering average IQ of students is much than the rest of the world, average output is too little to boast of.
• Despite good marks in exams, you can still be held back because of ‘attendance’.
• ‘Fasting’ and ‘dieting’ is preferable to mess food.
