Gone are the days when university rankings only mattered for higher education and jobs, now even to find a suitable partner, one has to be a graduate from top tier universities. Just to clarify, this isn't our claim, but a requirement for a bizarre matrimonial ad that has gone viral on the internet.

Now we know that no matter how much we deny, many Indians continue to obsess over caste, class, religion, and colour, but actually listing out the names of the universities and adding that as an eligibility criteria is taking it all a step further.
