Why is tier1/tier2 college a requirement?
Even the FAANGs don't have such requirements. Do these companies believe they are better than FAANG?
Won't this create echo chamber of all prestigious college folks and the entitlement that comes with it?
What's your take? Do you think this kind of requirement actually helps them? Or it just makes hiring really hard for them, especially while scaling up?

Because they are a startup and they get investment stating we have this many folks from IIT and all. My friend told me who is a founder of 4 companies
Why do they have to state this to get investment? Can't their mvp speak for itself?
I know a startup where all leading roles are from top mba and engineering of the world. Their ideas and sheets looks awesome. But im reality everything is just a scam. They twist number to woo investors.
Because, Startup need people who can learn quickly and adapt accordingly :) Tags have 50% chances that the guy will be worth it Tier 3 college less chances
Boooo. Most ignorant comment I've read. I have seen tier 3 college peeps with local language medium of education do better than tier 2 peeps. Tier 1 and 2 tend to come from class and privilege where they got to invest more money for their future from generational wealth than their peers from tier 3. Nothing else is different. Stop propagating these myths and denying entry to deserving people.
Well, its not that tier 1 folks arent good. But the right statement is - not only tier 1 folks are good.
Glorifying tags wouldn't help with hiring, especially when they get big enough
It's a badge of honour. Spoke to a founder who told me rank of his IITB developer while pitching the product
Damn, wrong things to glorify while pitching a product
so true. there is day care/toddler school near my house, that's branded as "founded by IIT/IIM people". hell couple of years back, there was a milk business in Pune(i think) that was branded as founded by IIT engineers.
Let me share my instances with such startups and HRs
-
Park+: Rejected in the last round when they got to know I'm from a Tier-3 college. Guess what, it's now famous for shittiest WLB and lala culture and consists of mainly T1 folks
-
Startup: Cracked all the rounds just to get ghosted because they hired someone from Tier-1 but this guy left within one month and joined somewhere without notifying them. Later, they asked me to join them at chawani instead of what they were paying to that guy.
-
Most of these startups are just ripoffs of US based startups. We have so many of these kinds of startups but still we haven't done anything remarkable in tech. Look at Ukraine, Russia etc developers

Indian HRs mindset: A guy with all relevant experience related to job opening <<< Random IIT folks with no or less experience
*Indian tech hiring scene is totally BS. Because you weren't able to score X in an entrance test when you were 18-19 you will be judged throughout your career with that having 0 impact on your career
So true
I interviewed for them recently. It's crazy they will ask your College cgpa, jee mains and advanced rank and school marks before the interview itself.
What? It's like i am renting a room in Bangalore. What the does it matter what my past college was? Is hiring so fucked up nowadays?
I've worked and hired from both pools and I've seen great, terrible, and terrible & entitled on both sides. However, some of the IIT guys really do outshine every other candidate. That makes the criterion worth it in certain roles.
Accept that they are, on average, better. There will be type 2 errors but the chances of hiring the right guy are higher with this requirement. Ignore and move on with your life, there are plenty of other jobs in the market that don't exclude you explicitly. Understand that you are not entitled to a job
Valid. Neither are "they" entitled to it
Oh you guys should try to talk to arrogant HRs of Gameskraft and Zomato.
😬
