Sincerely true. The incoming 2023 batch is too much obsessed with drop years when their own predecessors have done it in top 3. Just chill and study lmao
I am a gen-z who was till very recently panicking over my drop years but not anymore cause I realised after thinking about them for 3 days that they donโt matter. Also I realised that I successfully wasted my 3 days where I couldโve published a paper :)
Aha yes. As if the 2023 batch is the only one who took drop years. They donโt matter but still they want validation. As if the threads are not enough ๐. Work hard and study , no one cares about drop years.
No, you are not telling the truth. People are addressed as Bhaiyya, Dada (for people from Bengal) and Didi. I have seen it. Itโs not nice and shows hierarchy and a superiority complex. And the seniors from Bengal should know that in the rest of the country Dada means a goonda and Didi is usually said to domestic maids rather than older sisters (people say โsisโ instead to older sisters).
A senior girl once expected to be call Didi and scolded me for using her first name. I replied back and called her Auntyji and Behenji instead. She complained to her bf and I got ragged badly by senior bullies. But still worth the satisfaction I got from seeing the girlโs face when I called her Aunty and Behenji ๐
I don't think the custom varies so much. Sir Ma'am is fine. They are not your relatives, neither your friends (they may become your friends in future but that is for another day). Plus looking at the trend of inter batch dating how would you feel dating someone you earlier used to call bhaiya/didi.
Most of them get offended if you call them by their first name, so maybe don't do that... A lot of them will just tell you to use their name when you call them sir and ma'am but let them feel generous by waiting for that time.
In nlsiu the seniority doesnโt matter since the age range is very diverse for the first-third year batches. Thatโs why just keep your head straight and just talk to one another informally as you do with your friends. Keep it professional. You can ask your doubts to your rank parents in nlsiu.
As for NUJS , what I have heard from a very close frnd of mine , the senior-junior dynamic is superbbbbbb. I mean itโs readonably healthy (well toxic examples are in every NLU) and so your buddy senior will always look out for you. You can also opt for a different buddy partner. Correct me if I am wrong in this.
I was in a tier 3 NLU for 1.5-2 years before I joined Top 3. And tbh in tier-3 unfortunately , you have to address your seniors as sir/mam. Very problematic but it is very very true. Majority of people wonโt mind but some jobless seniors make this an issue. So do watch out. If you establish a good rapport, then you are set.
I disagree with sir and ma'am. I will happily use bhaiya and didi, but will not sacrifice my self respect. Let's see how it goes when I reach campus. Jo hoga, dekha jayega.
โฎโฎโฎ you and your sir ma'am. This bullshit was happening in HNLU. I refuses to accept it. Just refuse. There is nothing greater than your self respect.
Senior boys expect junior boys to address them as Bhaiya, but not junior girls, because they want to date junior girls and it will feel incestuous to date your Bhaiya!
2023 batch seems to be obsessed with the most trivial of things.
NLIU, NUJS: Bhaiya
NLSIU, NALSAR and JGLS: First names

All the best, I hope you enjoy your journey.

Greetings fair maiden of noble lineage and radiant beauty, I humbly request your attention and beseech thee to hear my words.
Milady of mirth and merriment
Oh dair damsel of wit and whimsy
Mistress of mischief and laughter.
Ladyship of the highest sarcasm and cynicism, or if I may be so bold
Her royal highness of the realm of sarcasm and outdated customs
The grand duchess of snark and irony.
