More obvious rebuttal: IIT is merely a mark that you were smart at a certain age. When investing in startups you don't want to disregard what they did since or, god forbid, exclude older people entirely. Focussing on IITians at any age is like leaving stale comments scattered in a codebase and being misled by them. - The less obvious rebuttal: Getting into the IITs marks one as smart, but not making it doesn't necessarily mark one as inferior. In my experience those who rank 1-50 are in a stratospheric league of their own. But choosing between ranks 1500+ and the best of other indian colleges (who often didn't pass the IIT tests) is a crap shoot. There's just too many deserving students for the IITs to accomodate. (Full disclosure: I prepared for the IITs for two years, didn't make it. It was a long time ago, but perhaps I still bear the scars.)

I think you need to enhance your comprehension capabilities. Ohh wait wait, I see you are not from IIT, sorry please don't bother then! I said, what is wrong with "IIT circle"? If other universities don't have enough talented alumni to support each other, then what's wrong with IITs? Please stop blaming IITs for your own failures in life, IITs have nothing to do with that. If you are not competent enough, learn to admit. Man, I seriously recommend you to come out of this grudge and look at this recent report: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-3752658,prtpage-1.cms http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-3752658,... I am utterly sorry for you my friend. After witnessing your witty and intelligent remarks, I feel you must have been admitted to IIT. You are amazing. All in good faith :) PS: I din't say students from other universities are all fools. But sad, your comment has made me to feel so.

  "But sad, your comment has made me to feel so." Hmmm, I guess they dont teach English at the IITs ?? And akkartik is right, if the IITian's rank wasnt 800 or higher then they really arent much different from students from other good engineering schools. And to my knowledge this is how most Indians rate guys from IITs.

    Dude, pointing out grammatical mistakes won't make your words echo louder. Rather it will expose your very sensible thought process about the topic. Your statement shows your ignorance about IITs and students. Please note, I din't say all IITians are "GOD", and can do any damn thing. Still, most(yeah even with rank > 4000) are better than top students from rest engineering colleges. PS: I satisfy your rank < 800 requirement, and I am not bragging about that :P
