How can i feel better at my college?
I am feeling depressed as I recently got into a tier 3 engineering college as they say in India which means the worst of all engineering schools, my life is pretty ****ed up here, the curriculum is *****y, my batchmates are stupid and have no vision for the future, the professors are boring and under-qualified for their position even my dorm mates are so intruding and it doesn't feel like I will succeed from here, I can't even dropout as with all the tuition fee I went all in and its probably my last shot for doing anything in my file

Your future is fine, no need to over dramatise things, no matter how bad the situation is you can get out of it as a better person and achieve more than you may think now.
That's coming from someone who's probably seen far worse than boring professors and stupid batchmates.
As someone who employs STEM apprentices, interns and graduates, I couldn't care less which college or university a candidate has graduated from.
Unless you're aiming to work in the most prestigious jobs out there, the fact that you graduated from best or the worst college isn't going to matter much if any at all.
If you can't switch or go to Uni and this college is your only option now, then put your head down and start studying.
Get the top grades. Ignore the classmates, ignore the "not the best curriculum", etc. Nothing really matters except for the grades that you can get from this college degree and for the extra knowledge/experience you can gain in your spare time.
Your learning potential is not locked in by the curriculum, you can always study more in your spare time - watch videos, do some online courses to strengthen your technical skills, do some projects in your own time - do CAD design, circuit design or write some code (depending on your specialisation). All that will improve your "portfolio" much more than a degree from a "top college".
Hope that helps a bit.
All the best,
