“Beta, padhai kar le”

“Beta, aage ka kya socha hai?”

“Beta, kitni percentage aayi?”

Do you relate with these statements or are you not Indian?

It’s true! Education, studies and academics are the focal point of every Indian household. Every Indian parent sees their kid as an academic extraordinaire.

While the age group of students remains a common factor but the segregation of students in different streams creates many refined niche groups.

And where there is a niche, there is a meme page!

Several meme pages with their carefully tailored content have managed to tap into one of the greatest niche markets of India — students.

Since they upload content that is exceedingly relatable to particular groups of students from a particular field of study, these meme pages manage to achieve greater levels of engagement as well as a more loyal audience base than what most influencers have.

Meme pages which revolve around academics and education are a way for students to bond with their peers. Humorous content to which students of a stream can relate to creates a sense of community.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the famous academic meme pages:
