Pride Month may draw to a close, but the fight to exist, to be seen, and to be proud of one's identity does not.

The realities the q***r community continues to face, from casual harassment disguised as jokes to overt prejudice and hate. A simple question to be asked: if these experiences were yours, would they still seem so normal?

Let’s ensure that pride is not confined to a month. Neither is the struggle for acceptance, dignity, and the right to simply be.

Inter IIT Cult 8.0 wasn’t just about performances.
A journey that started with missing tickets and 24 hours of exhaustion.

A stay where several unofficial contingent members had no proper accommodation to rely on. And a return journey where no tickets meant a 40+ hour bus ride for all participants.

This wasn’t just mismanagement, it was a complete breakdown of planning.
So who answers for it?

Read the full story on our website where we break down all the chaos, the consequences and the questions that remain.

While placements are ideally regarded as a merit-based process, student experiences spell a less trusting story. Every placement season is accompanied by anecdotes of how external interference plays a role in interview scheduling on the D-Day, and in a lot of these cases, the final outcome as well. Such concerns have been exacerbated by the infrastructural and logistical challenges of the process as seen over the last 3 seasons.

Read this article, the second in the series analysing the placement process, for more details and the views of the professor-in-charge on the issues.

[Link in Bio] IIT Bombay has long been known for producing exceptional graduates, periodically reviewing its undergraduate curriculum as academic priorities shift.

The 2022 reform, shaped by years of deliberation by the UG Curriculum Review Committee, emerged from evolving student expectations and changing industrial requirements.

Yet the process also brought a fundamental question to the forefront: should IITB nurture specialists deeply connected to their disciplines, or generalists capable of adapting to emerging opportunities?

This article traces the origins of the overhaul, the debates around reducing core credits, and the ongoing challenge of balancing long-standing academic traditions with a changing world.
