Interesting. Greetings from India .
Could you elaborate on his thoughts on that ?
I too sometimes feel like I've missed out on a good education. But I feel it's too late now to change that. :(

This. I had a few good teachers at university that taught me a lot, this made it painfully apparent how little I was learning in some other classes. I guess it's the same everywhere but I suppose you'd expect that the prestige of the IIT would attract the 'better teachers' of course in practice it probably attracts the more prominent experts which isn't the same thing at all ;-)
I'd find it hard to quantify, but an IIT graduate can expect to earn atleast 4-5 times more than the average graduate over their life time.
And owing to the huge population , most people are simply locked out of a lot of the best jobs and positions which such an elite degree can open up.
His point was that there are many many many more students who don't make it to IIT, and feel that not going to IIT has led them to not be confident in their abilities.
