iii) they (top 1000 JEE rankers) dont need to cram stuff like you morons coz their faculties are well oiled and they can think out of the box. And dont tell me they dont remember their branch. Those inclined towards acads anyhow pursue their PhD from the top 5 US univs...but how would you have known this....you would have been busy cramming for GATE...not that the BTechs would have interacted with you anyway.
iv) I dont intend to do my MS from an IIT...I've been fortunate enough to have been exposed to stuff which could qualify close to research in IIT in the first few years of my career and I managed to outshine collegaues who were IITM MS/MTech...I'll leave it for the losers
