Wonderful land with positives and negatives

For semester, I paid 17,000 above first and after coming to hostel, I paid 15500 and for mess fee first 3000 had paid. Every month again, mess fee comes as 3000. With that, I paid 7500 for the field trip for our geology. I have around 5000 expenses after coming here just for buying winter clothes and all as it is cold here in Punjab december other than that 5000 had gone for all the other needs. As I am in general category, I don't get any benefits. Both my parents have no job even though they take loan to give education to us. Only because of the category, I have suffered a lot. The first hostel admission, I don't get seat and everywhere I have ran for the seat. Finally, after overcoming obstacles only I got the seat. Next semester, I have to pay again around 10000 and also hostel fee comes as around 9000. Also for my travel to Kerala as it is my native place, also should cost 2500 and above

Truth about university

Dislikes

Academic stress is there. We have to do a lot of work in a single day

On first semestet I paid 17500 and on next semester I have to pay 9000 rupees. Therefore a year I have to pay 26500 rupees as my tution fee. Apart from tution fee, I also have to pay my hostel fee for each semester. On first semestet i have paid 15600 rps and on next semester I have to pay 8600.So total hostel fee for yhis academic year is 24200.I am an obc student but university doesn't provide any relaxation for obc students regarding fees. Only sc and st students is having relaxation for their fees. Currently I am not receiving any scholarship amount. I have given for a scholarship, but iam not sure that will I get it or not. My financial status is very bad. As my father os the only earning member of my family. He is an autodriver. And he is about 53 age now. I am on financial crisis. I also want a laptop for my studies. But I can't afford it.
