I often use this when arguing with nationalists here. “Our education system is so shit, that a university called Lund University ranks higher than the best university our country has to offer”. I think it convinces them a little lol.
Oh yeah yeah, IITs aren’t bad haha. It’s just that the competition to get into these “prestigious universities” (them being the IITs) is SO HIGH, that it’s kinda funny when they rank below Lund fkin university. The competition to get in them is so high, that u would think that Einstein, Bohr and Newton themselves conduct lectures there. It’s crazy.
The issue is that the government spent a shit load of money on extremely high quality unis with very low capacity instead of mediocre unis with high capacity. Of course, if you point this out, then nationalists immediately get defensive and start saying shit like, “oh, it’s not the country’s problem that u couldn’t get into the IITs”. The Lund university argument kinda serves as a funny comeback for such bad faith arguments lol.

David Batra, comedian from Lund with an Indian father, has ensured that the people of Lund are well aware of this. 😉

Fantastic argument! 🤣
On the other hand, I’ve worked together with a lot of IIT guys and there was definitely nothing wrong with their technical education.
