College life can be challenging in India for several reasons:
- Academic Pressure: There’s often intense competition for grades and limited seats in prestigious institutions, leading to high academic stress.
- Rigid Curriculum: Many colleges have rigid curricula that may not always be relevant to current industry needs or student interests.
- Infrastructure Issues: Some colleges face infrastructure challenges like inadequate facilities, overcrowded classrooms, and outdated technology.
- Social Pressures: Social expectations and norms can add pressure, especially in conservative areas regarding behavior, dress, and interactions.
- Limited Extracurricular Opportunities: Compared to Western universities, Indian colleges may offer fewer opportunities for extracurricular activities and personal development.
- Employment Concerns: There can be concerns about post-college employment due to mismatches between skills taught and industry requirements.
