I have heard/ read so many companies blindly hiring and promoting IITians to roles they are not suited for. Many young grads are given manager roles, and they know sh*t about people management. just push all work to juniors.
How are Founders not able to see through this?
Not sure who is spreading this fake news.
Being from a good college like IIT/BITS/NIT definitely helps in getting interview calls but promotion has got nothing to do with college as long as it's a decent place.
Having worked in IT for 4+ years, never saw this.

Addressing the core problem here of that of managers not being apt for the role:
top reason is no training is offered especially in the fast startup space for first time manager. So burden goes on the employee to come out good.

Even freinds have mentioned how the EMs in India they worked with were not helpful, untill they worked under a solid EM form EU with Amazon experience under the belt.
