So obviously I prepared for jee, joined coaching etc and didn't perform well in jee adv but was able to get a decent new Delhi college (one of those popular ones). The middle months after jee and before college started were a bit sad, but I was able to fit in well in my first year itself. Few of my classmates from school/coaching got into iits but I lost touch with them, but I remember they were humble and normal when I studied with them. But in my college years, when I attended fests or met with any iit peeps in some competitions or stuff, there was always a strong ego vibe coming from them, even when I met up with a coaching classmate who was humble in the beginning, was totally changed after being in iit. And like, I can understand having some ego if you've achieved something materialistic like getting a big job. But why do the ones who have achieved literally nothing in iits also have so much ego?? For nothing literally. I've never met a humble iit student who has not mentioned 'iit' in every second sentence.
Mostly referring to btechs here, cuz the mtechs/PhDs still feel fine and welcoming. I fr thought all these feelings might be because of some inner dissatisfaction that I didn't get into iit. But even after passing out college, getting a good job and seeing things from a neutral perspective,they still feel the same.
And somehow they are never able to have a personality that is not about IIT. Robots.
Genuine question. No hate. I've seen a lot of people from particular colleges, treating others like they're nothing. We respect your hustle of getting into a college a lot of people can't . But can you chill out now???
The effort put into to get that tag is huge. If you are an general category person, then it is no less than super hum...
Seeing so many founders who doesn’t want to hire from IIT is just increasing and I fully support this.
IITs are not the super smart people that they used to be. Now they are mostly test takers and that’s it with no innovation or anythin...
