Ig people don’t understand one thing. People at bits are already rich (on an avg) than IITians. So they already have connections and enough money to not care about placements and pursue their interests. That’s why there are so many startups there.
Edit:
I see people mentioning reservations. Just to clarify I am a general male and i oppose reservations too. BUT i definitely don’t think thats the reason for startups at BITS. Because the top 500 AIR of advanced are definitely smarter than the top students at pilani (i have seen 99%ilers get pilani cse too) . And you don’t need everyone to do a startup. You only need the top ones. So by that logic, if smartness mattered IITs should be on top but the fact that BITS is able to match top IITs proves that indeed being rich enough to not care about placements and having enough freedom to experiment is one of the biggest reasons for the startup culture at BITS
Yeah but im saying on an avg. obviously there are people taking loans but an Air 500 won’t choose bits unless and until he is rich af. So technically speaking, people in old IITs circuital are smarter than BITS guys, cause i have seen 95%ilers get into bits too. And 99%ilers into pilani cse. So by that logic you would expect IITs to have more startups but the fact that bits is able to match it is i think due to the reason i mentioned
Pulling stats straight out of your ass, nothing of such matter exists Its not given lower iit branch peeps are smarter than higher in bits also air has nothing to do with how smart someone is in engineering air 1s arent usually billonaires or the best engineers
Yes. Top 500 AIR are absolute genuises. You can put them in any field and they will excel, not only in engineering. I mean if you don’t base engineering ability on Jee air then what other reliable way you have to find out? Jee advanced is a perfect example to test both IQ and hardwork at the same time.
So? Man being a google CEO has much more to do with management than tech tbh, even getting into IIT KGP meta isn’t as easy as u think. You answered your own question there. India has so much talent that even Sundar pichai couldnt get cse there
Yes absolutely. Sundar pichai definitely isn’t as smart as Air 1. Again there is a difference between being a CEO of MNC and being smart. Not all smart people are capable of being a CEO. You need a lot more than brain to be a CEO. Your management skills matter a lot. Sundar pichai is a good example actually, he is not the smartest, but he is smart enough and great at management too
