When people want to know whether you made it to a specific college
- “Koi kahe kehta rahe” – Dil Chahta Hai
As soon as the admission process starts, your papa ke chacha ke foofa ji ke bete will suddenly be interested to know where you’re going to college. But do you let them affect you in any way? No. As Amir Khan from DCH would say, “who cares where the hell we land up? Hit it!”
When you get waitlisted
- “Dilbar mere kab tak mujhe aise hi tadpaoge”– Satte Pe Satta
After working so hard, it can be frustrating when a college puts you on their waiting list. You are anxious to know if you made it or not. Lyrics by Gulshan Kumar Mehta and beautifully sung by Kishore Kumar, this song totally understands the yearning you go through.
When you get rejected

Dealing with rejection can be hard. The first stage is realization- when you are saddened by the thought of not getting admission in your desired college and may often find yourself at a dead end.
- “Ye kya hua? Kaise hua?” – Amar Prem
The second stage is acceptance. At first you don’t understand how you didn’t make it but once you do, you realize that rejection is part of life and there are plenty of other opportunities that await you. Yet another one of Kishore Da’s all-time hits, this song will give you major ‘feels’.
When you get accepted

When at last your college commences

When you finally make it to a good college, there’s no one prouder than your parents. But once you are out in the real world, you have to be independent and make your choices on your own.
- “Masti ki paathshala” – Rang De Basanti
In the end, college life is all about chilling with friends and finding your way. There is no song that better describes college life than this popular number.
