IIT students ask government to provide them girlfriends

Kharagpur. Male students of IITscollege?” Ritesh argued, “I have found out about the college fees of many ‘normal universities in India and they are ridiculously low.
Then why are we being targeted even though we have to go through various hardships as compared to a non-engineering graduate?”
Not just the male students, even the female students of IITs agree that they should be compensated for spending four prime years of
their life in an environment that is anything but ‘normal.
The girl students too want a boyfriend who can appreciate the color of their salwar-kameez without thinking about the HTML code of

Ritesh said that ideally the students should be compensated for various things such as living away from their family, eating mess
food, getting exposed to weirdoes, and becoming internet trolls � the commonly acknowledged negative effects of spending four
years in an engineering college � but the students have asked for something that was “workable”.
