Current students tell you what the place feels like now. Recent alumni tell you whether the degree actually helped later. You need both. That is usually the point where personal fit becomes more important than brand value.

A simple beginner routine works better than a dramatic one: - NCERT or basic foundation reading - one current affairs source - previous year questions every week - one fixed revision slot That is enough to create momentum. That small shift alone can save a lot of time.

I would focus less on finding the perfect hack and more on building a routine you can actually repeat for months.

I would not overvalue one attractive feature if the basics are weak. Branding can be impressive while the day-to-day student experience is still average.
