The NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technologies (NIAT) in Hyderabad is now officially classified as a fraudulent scam by legal authorities, it is heavily criticized by students and parents for serious violations of UGC (University Grants Commission) norms alleged deceptive marketing, highly inflated fees, and poor execution.

The UGC has officially issued a notice regarding unauthorized operations, and multiple complaints have surfaced regarding fees and operational practices.

Absolute lies told by the management:

Skill Focus: NIAT's defenders and its CEO, Rahul Attuluri, argue that the institute cuts out unnecessary traditional subjects to strictly focus on early, practical software development and hackathons, but in actuality students still write code on paper and hand written assignments and still done in the old fashioned way.

Valid Degrees: They say NIAT acts as an upskilling layer, the final B.Tech degree is issued by its UGC-recognised partner universities, hence you would think this is legal and valid, but in reality ugc has declared that this collaboration is a not authorised and is unbinding.

TLDR;

NIAT is widely considered a financial trap by its current student body.

If you want a new-age, vibrant college experience. I recommend enrolling in a standard, comfortably priced engineering college and learning coding independently.

skills has a huge catalog of agent skills but I could never remember the exact command syntax. `skills add <source> --skill <skill-name>` for one thing, `skills install` for another, multi-agent flags, scope flags, etc.

So I built **sknav** - a tiny TUI wrapper that just asks you what you want and handles the rest.

just run : npx sknav in your terminal and watch it happened.

It opens a search prompt, you type what you need (e.g. "accessibility", "seo", "react"), multi-select from the results, pick your target agent, and it installs everything. Zero flags to remember.

If you already know what you want you can still pass through to the upstream CLI directly:

npx sknav add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill frontend-design -a codex -y -p
