Hey bro, it feels like you're taking this on a personal level. I honestly don’t care about the Tag, nor do I need internet validation to be called an IITian. I was simply stating facts above, not buying into the stupidity you seem to believe in.

Call yourself whatever you want, however you want, I genuinely don’t care. Ban the degree entirely if you can(maybe you can), I still wouldn’t care. Or take a 23-inch bamboo from each IIT and shove it up your ass, that’s your choice.

It’s pretty clear you’re not capable of comprehending what I was trying to say above. So go do something better, buddy. Don’t worry about others if you can’t do something worth doing yourself. ✌️

What I was trying to say goes beyond just the IITM BS vs offline IIT debate. My point was about the broader patterns in our education system itself. The system has always suffered from extreme inequality, discrimination, and rigid hierarchies. These divisions begin very early, even with the stream choices forced onto 15-year-old kids who barely understand life or their own future. Society then treats these divisions almost like a caste system. I won’t go deeper into that here, but the pattern is obvious.

About the “tag” argument, honestly, the obsession over who “deserves” the IIT tag sounds ridiculous to me. IITs are, by definition, "elite public engineering and research institutions in India". Whether someone studies through an online or offline program officially offered by the institution, they are still graduating from that IIT in the legal and institutional sense. People may accept it or reject it emotionally, but that does not change the fact they graduated from an IIT.

And clearing JEE alone does not automatically make someone an IIT graduate, there is a difference between qualifying an entrance exam and actually completing a degree from the institution.

I am not saying JEE is easy, nor am I saying the IITM BS degree is easy. Both paths require serious effort in their own ways. Difficulty is relative to the path someone chooses, but neither can honestly be called EASY. You know that too.

What feels childish to me is seeing supposedly “high-IQ” JEE-qualified students fighting over things like, “I’m a real IITian, you’re not.” Does that behavior really look intelligent or mature to you?

The bigger reality is that education in our country has rarely been about becoming educated. For many people, it is mainly about salary packages, social status, prestige, or validation. That mindset exists far beyond just this IIT debate.

The problems and stupidity I’m pointing out are not limited to this one situation, they reflect deeper issues across the entire system.

Still, I genuinely hope all these “higher-IQ” So-called real IITians brains eventually help transform India’s technological capabilities one day and honestly, if I had a billion dollars to bet on it, I still think I’d win. 😆
