Yea, yea, whatever that means!!! First things first; we need to remove the reservations that the IIT and IIM coterie have in organizations in India. There is a general understanding to give preference in organizations to ppl from their alumnus whether they deserve it or not.
While an inequitable % of IITians are talented compared to their counterparts from the BITS and the RECs of the world, there are some utterly untalented IITians who sneak through to privileged institutions and companies just leveraging on their pedigree. I mean, saying "brand IIT", "IITian fundamentals" and all that s*** is fine for a few years after graduating but the tendency is to expect privileged positions till the death-bed - in a way a form of reservation. Let us see Gopinathan and the other magnanimous folks fighting against this "reservation".
Predictably, I am one of those who didn't do well on that one day in the JEE (due to my "fundamentals" :-)??) and have been branded OEC (other engineering colleges) for the rest of life :-))...what did you say??, yea! o' course, I am jealous of the IITians!!!
