I hate diplomatic bullshit.
Best in terms of what?
There are innumerable parameters- you have to choose what really matters to you. These are all my perceptual ratings – so it’s going to be completely useless to leave angry/pretend-witty comments. You might as well just downvote this and go.
Best in terms of-
Average academic performance – Pilani
