Has anyone else seen a sudden raise in posts like only Tier 1 institutions candidates, Candidates only from IIT/IIM/NIT or Ivy League. How does this criteria guarantees a perfect candidate?!
Money is everything?
Isro pays 60k-95k to fresher engineers... Still IITians are not joining.
Slogging for Western Mnc is the only desire of IITians?
Comments and solutions??
Everything is so expensive right now. Is it wrong to think about financial stability.
It's always about the money. IITians be lining outside to get the job of a janitor if being a janitor paid 30l+. Wi...
"Somanath, who is at the top post at ISRO and also the secretary of the Department of Space, was Rs 2.5 lakh - which ...
Not based on birth is it? Based on factors you could have controlled, just that you made a different decision at the time.
I don’t agree with an IIT only criteria, and have seen many getting these roles based on previous work (and not having IIT). If you think your work is good enough, just apply. You might get an interview and eventually a role. These criteria are not as rigid as you think. One other aspect here is once you get in, would you be confident you belong, or be insecure?
It kinda is based on birth, not everyone has money to afford tuitions or access to the right mentors to prep for such institutes and their entrances.
Do you have any distinction between opportunity and privilege? If money was a key determining factor of getting through an exam, it would have been a valid point. I am pretty sure if you aggregate enough data, money has very low correlation to clearing IIT. Poorer kids cracked it, and richer kids with more resources could not. As they say, your mental model is contradicted by reality.
Your point also (unintentionally i assume) eliminates a huge section of people in India who didn’t have the means when they had kids, but took responsibility for, grabbed whatever opportunities that came their way, and ensured their kids get more opportunities. That their kids did well is not privilege but opportunity taken.
Whole bangalore is an IIT/BITS frat party they entertain "others" if and only if others are 10x more talented. If you are from this pedigree group every dumass gets such benefits in funding and recruitments. This proves that no one cares about talent in respective field, hr and founders are happy taking these recruitment decisions to avoid growth of talent and merit.
Product managers from bits pilani = trashcans in India smh. Especially those graduating from APM programs in Indian startups like Flipkart etc.
(Applies only PM, engineers are pretty good from bits, I guess those kids who are incompetent in cracking engg roles become these useless APMs)
@Veerappan would disagree with you on this
Bruh does pedree still count after >5 YOE?? Doesn't the past work become more relevant?
Most people lack skill set to judge expertise and after 5 years in highly sought after roles there is marginal differences between top 20% of the candidates and in business roles those differences are negligible because you can't easily measure who will execute better, so recruitment gets lazy and use these gate keeping criterias
It does become relevant. But ultimately creds are creds
So past experience counts by the brand of startup or company you have worked with.
For eg- I know in my previous company we used to hire only QS global top 1k colleges graduates for 6+ yoe. However if it's not within top 1k qs, the global policy had a list of companies, startups from which they would hire irrespective of college.
Flipkart, PayTM, phonepe etc were all such companies that mattered.
There morron here who think everyone in india has choice and it's people are not successful because they are working hard,even IIT are kinda a joke in some sense most people in IIT get into it job as a devloper just because they can learn code online and it's not a big deal for them ,they also knownthey will get placement and all compaines go behind these institutions,even if their core is in chemistry,or non related tech field.
Why study these courses from the reputed college and then land a developer job for which u don't need any college, and they they brag ex IIT all that.
So these morons are ok with descrimination in corporate sector ,they feel they are only entitled to into top companies because they have that degree ,even if the dam work is not related to they core subject them someone who was passionate about that subject but did graduate from tier 2 college.
IItians are not gods,It has come to a point of ur not from IIT ur not a genuine engineer.
This year when most iitd didint place most student they got to know that's it's just market that's decides not they tag.
I have graduated from tier 3 college last month and parallelly preparing for entry level product roles and also for masters from top 10 mem/top 5 mim programs , hope so will get into it so when I come back after few years, no one will look down upon me
