GTU BAPS swaminarayan propaganda
So students of colleges under Gujarat technological university are forced to study IPDC(integrated personality development program) without any choice between IPDc and CPDP(anothe personality dev program which was already there in course).
these two subjects are elective but Colleges dont even ask students they just decide .
You know why ?
because then students are told to buy the IPDC BOOK (200 rupees something) which is published by the same BAPS behind the course .
and inside that book you always see praise for BAPS swaminarayan and their gurus here and there.
But the main problem is when submission time comes the only submission is writing answeres inside that same book.
no assignments no presentation projects discussion nothing
so if you dont buy the book you cant complete the submission and loose the marks and fail in viva and internals (wihch wasnt the case for CPDC because no book was mandatory ) . so we are basically forced to buy their book to pass the subject
why no choice ?
why compulsory book purchase (i never buy a book for even core cs subjects and still score good 8-9 cgpa)
i joined engineering for engineering not for some mandatory idological courses with compusory paid books .
