Then that's just more information to "blind", isn't it?

  Sure, but it is hard to make a decision without knowing educational background. That level of blinding is not really feasible. Unfortunately many Bay Area recruitments happen based on IIT/Tsinghua snobbery, not the caste system as others mention. Many Westerners do not know about this. For the most part, this does not affect quality since they are the top Asian schools, and their graduates are very competent. There's a different level of nepotism promoted by insecure Indian managers - this is to attract a bevy of cheap and deliberately chosen incompetent engineers who are reliant on the manager for their sustenance and continuing immigration status. This is where the trope of the incompetent Indian s/w engineer comes from. A good example can be seen in the behaviour of Sunny Balwani from Theranos - you can read about it in "Bad Blood".
