funniest thing is that i know a guy who graduated from Ipt Saharanpur , which even does not comes under iit, now they swiftly write on their cv’as IIT roorkee and demand equal salary at par other iits not even iit-r.

Ya , Although i am from NIT , i agree the attitude our iitians depict today,there are pros and cons in yesteryears iit and today.the brand iit which exist this is being underutilised now,HOW MANY IITIANS HAVE RECEIVED NOBELS?, I THINK SHOULD BE MORE , iitians are considered to be epitome of technical excellence, then they curse india, ok agreed we have paucity of funds, why can't they galore in other countries as well.

its all about attitude.
the valor which exist when they make it to iit fades down the final year...

if this attitude continues ...days are not far when companies will start hiring from b grades to fulfill the apetite.

Apparently ever since RECs started calling themselves NITs, the attitude to performance ration has bumped up considerably!

The funniest are the guys at Roorkee who graduated well before IIT-R came into being but have now swiftly changed the name on their CVs

I have already moved out of the phase of hiring IITians.. Had a sad experience myself.. And that too from the top IIT in the country.

Aditya, I think you should start focussing on RECs !
or may be the Three Tier institutes..

There were many more poor questions.
Actually the event wasn’t organised in a very planned manner, though its nice atleast they are organising something like this. It could have been a much better event, had it been planned in better way. I hope they got the lesson and improve it accordingly.
An example of the same can be given here. In the session after of ‘Scaling Up’ which was just after Ashish Gupta’s session was poorly moderated and it more so because the moderated wasn’t briefed before hand about what exactly he was supposed to do. He started it with marketing of panelists’ companies and achievements which took more than 60% of the total session’s time.
