My first hand info about PMK came while I was studying in CEG - when literally everything was in their hands. From VC to Dean all appointed by them.

CEG - from being one of the top ten institution in India became a mediocre institution - even changed the prestigious name

(1/n) CEG - the brand name was ditched & called as university college.

While we have to get permission to own a bicycle - one student claiming to be grandson of Ayya will roam around in Fiat Linea loaded with liquor 🥃 & poor girls esp. on weekends.
