Well the reason I asked in the first place is to decide weather i should apply to this company or not. I am a good developer but if they have unrealistic expect

  Yes. Unfortunately that's a question no one can answer but you. I think even the company posting the advertisement won't know whether you're suitable until they meet you. If you think a bit more deeply about this, you may realize a company may have any number of reasons for overstating the requirements for a position. They may want to be able to reject anyone, however well-suited, based on real criteria they're unwilling to reveal, like gender, race or ethnicity. An obvious way to recruit based on secret criteria is to greatly overstate the requirements, then accept someone who doesn't meet them on the ground that they meet the secret requirements. I'll bet you didn't think of that angle. :)

    Your explanation is very creative indeed. As you said earlier they can do whatever they want. May be they want someone over-confident who can bend some truth.

    Another angle is that HR requires that a public posting be created for N weeks for all new positions, but there's someone they really want to hire internally. So the post is crafted such that only the internal hire meets all of the requirements, and they can just reject everyone else. I've seen it done. A friend of mine was one such internal transfer, and before that, he helped write the hiring post for converting a contractor to full time.
