I can understand where the OP is coming from. A major part of college is supposed to be the dalliances people have. And a college dalliance, while in no way the peak, is really special in its own way (I mean, from what I could tell on the outside I didn't have one). Living on the same campus, the constant accessibility, it's exciting in its own way. Especially for young kids just out of school. It's a part of the essential college experience for straight people. so they don't give it a second thought I guess.
OP, the situation is kind of underwhelming. I would really, REALLY strongly advise to stay away from Grindr in general. Just a good tip for life. Especially in India. Especially in anything other than a tony area in a T1 city.
Tinder/Bumble should be okay I guess, but don't be too hopeful. From my experience, what I can tell you is that law schools attract a generally okay crowd with a relatively woke bent, so you won't have too much trouble if you do get into a relationship or something. But you will have to be extra careful. (The boys' hostel can be a special tenth circle of hell, but, hopefully, most of them will be just harmless/indifferent).
To answer your main question: gay culture and openly gay folks are unfortunately mostly restricted to T1 cities. I get it, when you're shooting in the dark. But, well, it is what it is.
Also, if you're on a dating app of any kind, please be careful, always talk to the person well before meeting. Meet in a place that is not secluded. And inform someone you trust. There has been a sharp rise in cases where gay men get extorted on these apps.
Take care!
