With the Navaratris / Pujo starting today, don’t we at least owe a look at how WOMAN, who is worshipped in these days, is really treated?
Equated with Earth, analogized with nature desecreted with hands that worship her in the temples Muse of artists, song of poets cause of universe enslaved in brothels Indomitable energy trapped in a bottle The slayer of demons ensnared by hypocrisy Mother of Gods forsaken in her prayers Much espoused, more often forgotten bonded, eulogized, sanctified hunted, exploited and frightened. Tell me the day (if there’s a day?) you’re finally safe my cheated, beauteous woman.

Children should be taught to aspire to be successful, but success doesn't have to mean an IIT admission only!
Imagine studying for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 whole years for the JEE exam only to find out that there’s only a very, very slim chance of getting into an IIT. It is a fact widely acknowledged that the IIT-JEE is one of the toughest exams not just in India but in the whole world. Apart from IITs, the NITs and IIITs of India also accept the JEE scores for admission. There are said to be a total of 23 IITs, 31 NITs and 25 IIITs across the country.
Now, let’s first get a few facts about the IITs right. First, according to the NIRF rankings of 2023, only 17 IITs rank in the top 50 engineering colleges of India and only a few (around 5) IITs are in the list of the world’s top 100 engineering colleges. Second, the dropout rate of IIT-qualifying students stands at least at 20%, with reasons being cited ranging from academic pressure and unmanageable workload to caste discrimination and high levels of competition within the IIT.
So, it’s quite clear that the journey of making it through IIT is as challenging as the journey of getting into an IIT. Third and most important of all, the acceptance rate or the odds of getting into an IIT are below 3% which is a lot lower than the acceptance rate of highly and very highly ranked US universities. Four, getting into an IIT of one’s choice doesn’t mean one will also get into a branch of one’s preference at that IIT.
