How do you define college tiers?

For me, Tier 1: IITs, NITs, IIMs, Tier 2: IIITs, BITs, VIT Tier 3: private colleges

I would say not all IIT's and IIM's are tire one, BITS Pillani is way better than most of the new IIT'S, same is the case for XLRI , SP Jain only the old IIM's can be labelled as Tier 1 the new ones need to catch up

ISB is tier 1 and same as IIM ABC in both rankings and placement scenes.

Several IIITs are sought over many NITs.

The top IIITs are clearly tier-1, just as much as not all NITs are tier-1.

Depending on competitiveness and admission rates, colleges are categorised into tiers. Some examples of college tiers are:

Tier 1: Colleges that are highly competitive with less than 10% acceptance rates. Tier 1 colleges include IITs, IIMs, NITs and NLUs. These colleges are also known for their comprehensive curriculum, best-in-class faculty, top-notch infrastructure and other facilities.

Tier 2: Colleges that have a lesser degree of competitiveness compared to Tier 1 institutes. Tier 2 colleges in India are IIEST Shibpur and BIT Meshra.

Tier 3: Colleges that are good and have more spaces with fewer applicants, ensuring less competition in admission. In India, the Tier 3 colleges include Amity University, Chandigarh University, VIT Vellore and more.

College kids have a reality shock waiting for them

Recently set out to hire interns and had a really strange experience

Went through about 170 CVs. Most were shabbily formatted - which is okay, I understand most people aren’t that serious in college.

Come to Tier 3 colleges, they are very humble and hardworking 😊

Bhai saab the arrogance they are carrying after solving few leetcodes. I have stopped communicating with them.

Well , I think that's okay. It's similar to what HRs and recuriters do with these folks. A Balance should be there.

Tier 3 college education struggle

As someone from a tier-3 college, is it possible for me to bag a good job and slowly climb the ladder and make 30L, 40L like some of you do?

Is this IIT branding so needed even today to get a job at top companies?

I have huge regrets ...
