What does it take for one to get hired as a ux designers at maang in India?

Would genuinely want to know this. Also have seen most Microsoft designers only be from iit or nid? Is this a pre-requisite? Do they not consider candidates from other design colleges?

They do hire from other colleges but in big tech there is little obsession of Tier1 institutes. A false assumption is that IIT/NID peeps are better.

Them Being from similar/same background, there often is an overlap of thinking and ideas, NID peeps tend to be more into the Social Impact aspect which can help these companies balance both Product/Business focused and Social or People focused diversity.

The obsession sometimes is so bad that they have hired from Lower or Newer NIDs/IITs and blocking out some top non IIT design schools.
