IIT background biasness in Shark Tank

Just noticed this pattern while binge watching Shark Tank. Is it still prevalent for IIT graduates to get advantage in life over non IIT graduates.

Learned to live with it.

It's the life choices they made to get where they are.

I would not change anything from my past to get an IIT tag, so far I've lived a happy fulfilling life.
