Sir, OYO has recently banned unmarried couples from renting a hotel. Don't you think this measure is a bit harsh? My fiance and I are planning a trip to Uttar Pradesh this year. Does this mean our booking will be cancelled if they find out that we are not married? What should we do? Please help.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
As I cannot speak for Oyo, or give any insight on their rules and regulations, I won't be of much help here. Please contact the right people for this query.
Best Wishes.

Why do hotels in India disallow unmarried couples? A few months ago, I was travelling with my girlfriend (who was my colleague then, we weren't dating then) on a work trip and suddenly, we received a knock on the door at night asking us to vacate the room in Delhi. It was 2 am and we were sleeping on different beds. There was a partition in the room, yet we were asked to pack and leave because some guest had complained. In the middle of the night no one was willing to offer us a room. It was an odd hour so at 4.30 am, I finally told the manager to let my GF hire a room as we had nowhere to go. I waited in the reception area. Isn't it unsafe to take the booking and then ask us to vacate later? Why is India so rude to unmarried couples? A boy and a girl could also be friends sharing a room to save money!
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Each hotel use discretion to allow or disallow an unmarried couple from staying in their premises. There could be various reasons which may include activities which are outside of the law. Now, to what has happened to you is very inconsiderate. My question to you is: while booking, did you look at the hotel policies? If it says: unmarried couples allowed, then whatever has happened can be challenged and you can possibly demand a refund for unfair treatment. If it disallows unmarried couples and they have accommodated you, even then they are in the wrong for going against their own policies and then inconveniencing you.
So, clarity on this will give you an idea as to what exactly happened.
I don't know if India is being rude to unmarried couples as each person will view it through their lens and come to a conclusion as to whether it's right or wrong. Always check the hotel policies before booking.

All the best!

Hi sir, Is ms Ramaiah better than dayanand sagar university harohalli for aerospace plz reply sir
Ans: MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology’s Aerospace Engineering program at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is NAAC A+–accredited with a NIRF rank in the 151–200 band for universities, offering a rigorous four-year curriculum developed in collaboration with industry, supported by well-equipped labs including wind tunnels and UAV testing facilities, and staffed by doctoral faculty active in research. Its autonomous Training and Placement Department secures roles for approximately 95% of aerospace graduates with recruiters such as Boeing, L&T, and Honeywell, and provides robust soft-skill workshops, mentorship, and career guidance. Dayananda Sagar University Harohalli’s B.Tech in Aerospace features NAAC A+ accreditation, a dedicated Department of Aerospace with senior faculty from IITs and NITs, modern avionics, propulsion, and CAD/CAM labs, plus research projects in UAVs and composites. It boasts a 100% placement rate in 2024 with over 450 recruiters including Capgemini and Airbus, and emphasizes student support through counselling, study circles, and incubation opportunities. Both institutions excel, but MSRIT’s stronger national ranking, industry-integrated research initiatives, and extensive placement infrastructure provide a broader platform for academic and professional growth.

RECOMMENDATION: MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology is the better choice for aerospace engineering due to its superior national ranking, interdisciplinary research collaborations, high-end facilities, and a proven 95% placement consistency, while Dayananda Sagar Harohalli remains a strong alternative for guaranteed placements and focused lab experiences. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir/Madam, I have asked below question on July 12 2025... but no response yet .. Could you pls kindly help & suggest at the earliest - Which is better option : B.E Chemical engineering in BITS Pilani (Pilani campus) plus minor in Material Science/chemistry OR B.Tech in (a) Dyestuff and Intermediates (Speciality chemicals) or (b)Pharmaceuticals Chemistry & Technology from ICT Mumbai(Matunga). I have very clear focus of doing Phd in Organic Chemistry(either in US or Europe) and enter the corporate world of Pharmaceuticals/Agrochemicals/F&F/Speciality chemicals/Performance Chemicals.. Pls suggest at the earliest. Thanks!
Ans: Hardik, BITS Pilani’s Chemical Engineering program, established in 1964, combines a rigorous core curriculum with practice-school internships and offers a minor in Materials Science or Chemistry to deepen your understanding of advanced topics like nanochemistry and solid-state chemistry. The department emphasizes interdisciplinary research, maintains modern pilot-plant and analytical laboratories, and supports direct Ph.D. pathways with institute fellowships and global collaborations in catalysis, polymer engineering, and organic reaction engineering. Placements are robust, with over 90% B.E. Chemical graduates securing roles in core and related sectors, and Practice School guarantees two internships by the seventh semester. Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai’s Dyestuff & Intermediates and Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Technology branches deliver highly specialized curricula in process chemistry, formulation, and quality control, with dedicated labs for colorant synthesis or drug design and strong industry partnerships with Glenmark, ISRO, and Indian Oil. ICT Mumbai holds NAAC A++ accreditation, records median B.Tech package of ?8 LPA, and places over 90% of dyestuff graduates in R&D and production roles, while its M.Tech programs in pharmaceutical chemistry maintain over 95% placements in research and regulatory sectors. Both institutions excel in faculty expertise and facility quality but BITS Pilani’s interdisciplinary research culture, minority thesis options, and integrated Ph.D. fellowship opportunities provide a stronger foundation for an organic-chemistry doctorate, whereas ICT’s niche programs offer immediate industry alignment in specialty chemicals.

RECOMMENDATION: Prioritize BITS Pilani Chemical Engineering with a minor in Materials Science or Chemistry for its unparalleled research environment, integrated Ph.D. support, broad analytical infrastructure, and high placement consistency, then choose ICT Mumbai’s Dyestuff & Intermediates for specialized process chemistry training, and consider ICT’s Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Technology for regulatory and formulation expertise aligned with doctoral and corporate aspirations. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
