Road to IITs gets tougher

This year arround more than 14 lakhs appeared for Jee out of these only 17-18 thousand will get IITS and remaining top 30 thousand students will join Nits/IIITs/Bits and state GECs but remaining students will join random engineering,competition is increased pretty much and I'm pretty sure had the half of these 14 lakhs student be from well off families, they would look for options abroad, competition is getting extremely unhealthy nowadays bczz even students who are gonna get chemical , mechanical, civil kind of branches in top tier colleges are also gonna target product/analytics/consulting/finance kind of roles or go for MBA via cat at top IIMs/abroad /UPSC /starting up at the end of their engineering which doesn't make any sense to me . It doesn't mean that students who got less percentile are less intelligent but mistakes of 5-8 marks in these exams affect your rank by 1000s . And this thing is gonna worse in near future with ever increasing population of our country

Nowadays College doesn’t matter only skills matter . Many of my friends from tier 3 college are earning more than tier 1 college people.

Yup but I think this statement is true in very few cases , entry level jobs look for tier 1 candidates specially the high paying domains like consulting , IB , Finance and in some cases tech. Yup College tag doesn't matter but after certain time period where your experience and skills gained over the years make you much better candidate than someone from tier 1 but what I am trying to say the core branch seats in most of the reputed colleges don't send engineers in core sector just because everyone wants a high paying job and even if they will join it anyhow after sometime leave for MBA to pivot to other domain , so it's much better target countries with the specific courses where you actually want to get into

This is an exception to the rule, and not always true. If you gathered 1000 graduates from tier 1 and 1000 graduates from tier 3 and looked at how they are doing 5 or 10 years down the line, it's going to be the tier 1 students that are doing better.

Obsession with IITs is overhyped

I can say that the obsession with IITs is definitely overhyped. Don't get me wrong, IITs are great institutions with some of the brightest minds, but the way they are glorified is just too much.

First of all, the pressure on students to...

Why are IITians so entitled and fragile about this tag??

Genuine question. No hate. I've seen a lot of people from particular colleges, treating others like they're nothing. We respect your hustle of getting into a college a lot of people can't . But can you chill out now???
