Dude, pointing out grammatical mistakes won't make your words echo louder. Rather it will expose your very sensible thought process about the topic.

Your statement shows your ignorance about IITs and students. Please note, I din't say all IITians are "GOD", and can do any damn thing. Still, most(yeah even with rank > 4000) are better than top students from rest engineering colleges.

PS: I satisfy your rank < 800 requirement, and I am not bragging about that :P

Indeed this is your prejudice. Just search for top researchers in USA in field of CS. You will find almost all the Indians that appear in that list are IITians. I hope that will clear your misconception, "they have a hard time defining the problem itself".

Now you sound sensible, unlike your previous comment. Good for you. You have been to Gatech, so for sure you know how profs each year plan to catch new IITians to work in their groups. But your personal ego has forced you not admit this. I cannot help you with this.

Discloser: I have been to Gatech.

I think you need to enhance your comprehension capabilities. Ohh wait wait, I see you are not from IIT, sorry please don't bother then! I said, what is wrong with "IIT circle"? If other universities don't have enough talented alumni to support each other, then what's wrong with IITs? Please stop blaming IITs for your own failures in life, IITs have nothing to do with that. If you are not competent enough, learn to admit.

Man, I seriously recommend you to come out of this grudge and look at this recent report: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-3752658,...

I am utterly sorry for you my friend. After witnessing your witty and intelligent remarks, I feel you must have been admitted to IIT. You are amazing.

All in good faith :)

PS: I din't say students from other universities are all fools. But sad, your comment has made me to feel so.

What is so wrong about IIT circle?

No doubt, they are top brains of India. PERIOD

hiteshiitk··on Ask HN: UCLA or UCSD for Computer Science?
In computer system/networks field, nothing good at UCLA these days, apart from LA itself.
