Severely unnotable, with one source basically being Indian Yelp for colleges, and the other being YouTube. It literally only includes one piece of information, which is about some random hazing ritual somebody in 2017 did. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 20:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I'm able to find atleast 3 sources mentioning Techno India University:

- Telegraphindia.com This is a article about a recent attempt by pupils of the university (and associated public school) to create a Durga idol out of trash

- Dailystar.net This is a article about a MoU signed between a Bangladeshi university and Techno India University

- telegraphindia.com This is a article about the convocation ceremony.

There are a bunch of others from telegraphindia.com (which makes sense given that The Telegraph (India) is the primary English newspaper of the region) as well mentions in other national newspapers--Sohom (talk) 18:59, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a list of sources that mention the university to the article. In addition to this, I also want to point out that the youtube video linked as one of the references is actually a recorded clip of a news broadcast by ABP Ananda, one of the major Bengali TV news shows in Kolkata. This news story made national headlines as mentioned in indiatoday.in, timesofindia.com and telegraphindia.com Sohom (talk) 19:20, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sohom Datta: Sorry for such a late reply, but you seem to have added citations in inappropriate places in the article.

You added sources to the lead section which don't support the claim at hand ("Techno India university is a private university in Kolkata."). QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 04:29, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuickQuokka Fixed, thanks for the heads up :) Sohom (talk) 06:48, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question to Sohom about the first comment. Just have to ask. How is it so amazing that the third article was published exactly on the day of your comment? Suitskvarts (talk) 07:35, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Suitskvarts It wasn't amazing, I assume Google recommended the latest news articles that it found wrt to university. I typed in "Techno India University news Kolkata" which imo is a good approach of finding relevant sources for Indian schools, since if there isn't a single newsworthy article, the subject would definitely be non-notable (most colleges/universities have difficulty making it into the news from this area due to the sheer number of such institutions/degree mills that are called colleges etc).

Keep - subject has decent coverage. The article has a section on abuse with references which is negative for the subjective. Here is another reference on more abuse https://www.newslaundry.com/2017/12/21/techno-india-university-faculty-sexual-harassment. New women & gender studies center https://www.proquest.com/docview/2788434170/19CC049530954205PQ/1 (this might be a press release). Coverage of a technology conference the subject hosted https://www.proquest.com/docview/2809556906/19CC049530954205PQ/2. A lecture on tigers held at the university https://www.proquest.com/docview/2843074252/19CC049530954205PQ/35. - Indefensible (talk) 22:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep after Sohom Datta's spectacular work on fixing the article QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 12:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Techno India Group. The campus appears to be based physically inside the Techno India Group building. The primary sources claim that the university is a subsidiary of Techno India Group. The company's Wikipedia page appears to be be a list of its subsidiaries. There are many private colleges, schools, universities and such in the world and, although they may exist, it doesn't mean that they are noteworthy. 99% fad-free (talk) 11:33, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
