Sanjay Jangid, a BSC final year student of Maharaja College, told TOI that because of the campaigning, classes were not regular.
“Till the end of August, everyone is busy in elections. After that, teachers hurry up to complete the syllabus.
A few teachers take regular classes, but many don’t come on time. We want this issue to be solved as we come from faraway places to study here,” said Sanjay.
In Maharani College classes are regular, but girls face the problem of unclean washrooms. “The washrooms are cleaned once a day and it is disgusting to use them. We have complained many times, but the situation hasn’t changed,” said second year BA student Mahima Meena.
Iram Khan, a student of BA final year of Maharani College, said there are pad vending machines in all the toilets, but none of them works. “There are no shops near our college and these machines are either not working or don’t have pads. It becomes really embarrassing,” said Iram.

Similarly, Kalpana Meena, a student of dramatics of the college, said they had to bear the cost of everything. “From costumes, make-up and travelling expenses in the city or outside, students have to bear all the costs. Authorities do not provide anything. There are many students who cannot afford and lack behind,” she said.
Naresh Meena, a student of physics in Rajasthan University said, “There are expensive machines worth crores of rupees that are lying idol in the store without being assembled. We have to go to other universities to get our samples checked after paying a fee for a few hours. We have written to the university on a number of occasions, but no pays any heed to it. They just give us false assurances.”
When asked if any student leader has ever heard their problems and tried to solve it, students shook heads in negative. “The leaders come during the time of elections and after that no one pays any heed. All of them make tall promises of making it a Wi-Fi campus, but have you seen any implementation,” said Pooja Rathore of Maharani College.
