Brutal takedown.

[Dr. Mrunal Patel (Ph.D.) @Mrunal_Patel]

Saddened by such timepass low-effort articles in IndianExpress. This whole article is basically ping-pong of ‘Prof. X said this”, “Prof. Y said that”. The editor should put photos of these professors instead of Ms.Rishika Singh then.

@sambasholay The environment now is really good. These things were rampant in 2016. Things have changed for good.

I would say MnC if he likes Maths 😀

2016: I was engaged in a heated feud at IIT Kanpur against some leftist scums. We went to the Gymkhana President to help us out. Little did we realise he was going to f**k us over.

That was the day I became a RWinger for life.

The president's name was Ashutosh Ranka.

[Samridh Joshi @SamridhJoshi]

@thenerdnxtdoor2 @Gravito841 Bruh, he is my class fellow from IITK 😅🤣

[Samridh Joshi @SamridhJoshi]

This feud was about the fact that these leftist scumbags were indocrinating poor school kids who came to IITK to study from us on Marx and Phule, filling their minds with caste hatred and commie ideas.

All this while their parents looked at us with hope of a future they had dreamt of for their kids.

The generation of JP Andolan or Ram Mandir Movement was built different. Men ready to get bullets on their chests.

Now we have entitled brats who can't even survive in medium heat and want a househelp to fan them.

Average Tier 3 college education system in India.

Need to put a danda up the arse of such college administrators.

IAS officers make about 18L/Yr.

😭😭😭😭😭

Reality Check: Many bill more than 18L/day, sucking the hard earned tax money of the citizens out of the exchequer.

[Aviral Bhatnagar @aviralbhat]

IAS officers make about 18L/yr, far lower than private peers

But peons/clerks make about 4L/yr, 2x higher than India's per capita

Government jobs at the unskilled entry level are the best wage payers

Govt distorts the unskilled labour market

[Samridh Joshi @SamridhJoshi]

Nobody cares. The recruiter will extract the information from you in case it needs (case on point, HFTs)

[Sigma Godse🔥 @MahatmaaGodse]

Thank you IIT for hiding the one place merit could be shown by the students in their resume 🙃

[Swarajya @SwarajyaMag]

Thirteen lakh radiographers, lab technologists, physiotherapists and optometrists were trained on the job, governed by patchwork state rules, and absent from the country's national healthcare conversation.

Five years after the NCAHP Act gave them a single institutional home, the gap between what is built and what still needs building is the policy question that defines the sector's next decade.

After Forty-Nine Years Of Left And TMC Rule, Bengal Begins Its Reset

- Ayushman Bharat, the PM Awas Yojana, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, the Citizenship Amendment Act — all delayed, rebranded or blocked under the TMC. Policy alignment with the Centre is the first dividend of the verdict.

- The hard work of fiscal salvage, industrial revival, and frontier security begins now.

When the field already suffers from the challenge of being disconnected with the ground realities of the economic and policy world, we are alienating students further from the same.

Troubling times for the field in general. And probably for academia itself.

[Jack Meyer 🏛️ @Jackbmeyer]

Econ admissions are getting so competitive that a top 20 offer now requires a perfect quant GRE score, a solo top 5 R&R, and 3 predocs, preferably already working for you

A moment of immense pride for IIT Kanpur.

Heartiest congratulations to Prof. Manindra Agrawal, @Director_IITK, on being elected as a Fellow of The @royalsociety (FRS), one of the world’s most prestigious scientific honours.

It is extremely painful to hear such stories. No wonder we as a nation are a subject of ridicule globally in research and academia.

[ppp. @electro_pppp]

Some lab rules:
- no phones allowed
- 6 days/week compulsory 9-6 work
- late more than 3 days will result in stipend deduction
I feel like I'm already in corporate just with negligible pay🫥🫥

'You are being paid to think'.

You are being paid subsistence wages to teach tutorials, grade students, assist your professor in his research and forgo economic opportunity.

Yes, it is worth it for sure but we can probably stop this grand idealisation which is BS.

[Mayukh @mayukh_panja]

I don’t agree. A PhD student should not prioritize work-life balance.

Getting to do a PhD is a privilege. You are paid to think. There is no pressure for you to be economically useful. It is a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of human knowledge and produce something ground breaking.

And nothing great ever happens without complete devotion. Look at everything that moved and shaped the world. Every single person who created anything meaningful, in science, in arts, in music, in movies, devoted their lives to their craft.

Extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary inputs and some degree of sacrifice. Sure, have work-life balance during your PhD. But be content a mediocre outcome.

[Samridh Joshi @SamridhJoshi]

Academics see policy professionals as useless generalists who are incapable of rigor and research.

Policy professionals see academics as intellectual speculators who are busy in their paper models and have no clue of the real world.

We need to demolish both these prejudices.
