New Delhi: We all know how difficult it is to get admission into an IIT. The New Netflix documentary Alma Matters gives a look inside IIT Kharagpur which tries to break stereotypes one often associates with the place. Comedian Biswa Kalyan Rath brings out an objective perspective on the institution he has studied from sharing his own experience.
The audience has largely shown appreciation for the show and here are some of the reactions:

Probably gonna binge #AlmaMatters the night prior to my final paper of the semester.
It’s ironic how the last exam syndrome kicks in pic.twitter.com/xdWOEg7iEh— Lionel Crasto (@CrastoLionel) May 14, 2021
Except for one girl who talked about Mental health and placements. Guess that’s the 9:1 ratio… ?♀️

Watching #AlmaMatters on @NetflixIndia with my IITian husband. Gearing up for a depressing watch.

Irony is it talks about 9:1 gender ratio, gender-based discrimination, “female privilege” in IITs without showcasing the life of a single girl in IIT KGP!
That’s where we went wrong AGAIN #AlmaMatters
