You’re writing an article and just forget or don’t bother to write the names of universities? #LazyJournalism
True. Because most of the people will come here to look for names of the Universities but they wouldn’t bother writing those. Probably, they will write another article with names and get traffic again on their website.
This article seems to be incomplete because university names are not mentioned.
Useless article! With no list!
What a shame. Atleast try to mention details if youre dragging us here
