” It’s hard to imagine another educational institution in India where I could’ve had the opportunity and the freedom I’ve had here to do what I really wanted to do, while pretending to pursue an entirely unrelated academic degree.” Nithyanand Rao, Immerse editor 2015, writes about his insti experience.
