TLDR; What exactly do they expect if they openly advertise "B.Tech from premier institutes. IIT’s, REC’s, BITS, etc" as a job requirement for almost all of their engineering roles?

I am guessing, this is some kind of cheap publicity stunt.
- gnufied 11y agoI would have partly agreed with Snapdeal since finding good engineer has always been hard. But this filtering by IITs/NITs/BITs shows - how out of touch they are. I know some of the most brilliant programmers in Bangalore/Pune and they are not from these "premier institutes". In fact, being from NIT Trichy myself, I have concluded that - most engineers from these colleges are risk averse and likely stick to a well trodden path of B.Tech + MBA or head to US for MS.
- ouroborosidiots 11y agoAnecdotally speaking most of my good IIT/NIT/BITs folks moved out of the country/went for MBAs after graduation. The average ones got hired locally by multinationals like EBay / Amazon / Google etc.. So the ones who were actually applying to companies like Snapdeal etc.. were the 4 point someones who really have nothing but an "IIT degree" on their Resume. I interviewed a couple of those for our startup. Honestly speaking, we found more interesting people via Employee referrals - even if they didn't graduate from these universities.
