I don't consider this a great feat, topping the IIT or IIM list would have been great. Getting into an IIT is much -much tougher than getting into MIT. BTW this guy is Oriya or Bengali, Panda's are oriya if I am not wrong. SSSSS is correct. I know West Bengal very much I had stayed there for more than 5 years before moving to the US, even the engineering colleges except IIT-K are worthless, corrupt educational system, students whose parents are linked to the ruling party are toppers in exams. The engineering colleges are filled by students from neighbouring states. Pathetic!
