Considering the times we live in are so strange, it was hard to figure out whether these Twitter users were being sarcastic or they truly believed the college existed.
However, not everything we see or perceive is real.
Does Rajnikant Medical College of Engineering for Commerce & Arts exist for real?
The images shared by several people on the internet suggesting the existence of “Rajnikant Medical College of Engineering for Commerce & Arts” is not a real one. The image is a morphed one, and it has been doing rounds on the internet for a very long time now.
The image, perhaps, created as a meme, has now trapped several people on the internet, including the likes of Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.
In reality, there is no “Rajnikant Medical College of Engineering for Commerce & Arts”. The image is taken outside the campus of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB).
Here is the same image of XIMB that has been morphed into look like “Rajnikant Medical College of Engineering for Commerce & Arts”.
