Although it is true that IIT is an established brand name, its utility is limited. The biggest factor that decides an individual's success is his pursuit of success throughout life. If the concentration of such people is more in IITs, so be it. Educational institutions in India are temples of rote learning. In the decades of existense of IITs, I dindt hear a single IITian doing any breakthrough research and winning accolades. A number of them are doing mediocre jobs, and some totally screwed up their lives. IIMs are worse. Why a person needs to go to IIM to do regular jobs I cant understand.
