USA and European university rankings have a strong bias against universities in the Global South (especially India), in part because of the stigma against Indian programmers and in part because they're generally wanting to promote US and European universities as the global leaders. If you're going to disparage a university based on nothing but ranking lists run by USA and Europeans, you're missing out.
IIT students are amazing, i've worked with them. Far more creative and competent programmers than the average Ivy League grad in my cohort.

- thebradbain 4y ago> Why would two independent governing bodies group together to oppress a single country? Not that it’s the same, but have you looked at either of these countries’ pasts? Even relatively recently— the Marshall Islands, or still ongoing, in Mauritius/Diego Garcia.
- quonn 4y agoThis is not exactly true either. Some IIT students are terrible programmers, others not. But they do have certain strengths and their math training is very strong.
