Was not that bad when I was growing up. Sure there was pressure to become engineer/doctor but IIT was not be-all end-all. There was always DCE, REC. Have things changed that much in last 20 years?
- pm90 7y agoIIT gives you a lot of name recognition and opens up many doors automatically. As someone who didn’t get in, I missed out on foreign internships and research opportunities by not attending them. The universities you mention are still great but don’t have the same recognition I guess. Every foreign grad students first question after learning Im from India “ oh did you go to... IIT?”
- mkagenius 7y ago> but IIT was not be-all end-all. There was always DCE, REC. Its a way to use as filters at later stage of life. Job or marriage (see iitiimshaadi.com). Top 2% or top 10%.
