flag Over one-third of Indian tech workers at major firms graduated from tier-3 colleges, highlighting a shift toward skills-based hiring.

flag A new survey of 1,602 Indian tech professionals reveals that over one-third at major tech firms like Zoho, Apple, and NVIDIA graduated from tier-3 colleges, challenging the belief that elite institutions are essential for success. flag The findings, based on NIRF 2025 rankings, show 34% of tech product company employees came from tier-3 schools, far exceeding the 18% at finance-heavy firms. flag While campus placements helped many from top colleges advance, most tier-3 and overseas graduates saw their education as only a resume line, with only 15% reporting significant salary benefits. flag Tech firms increasingly prioritize skills, coding ability, and project experience over college prestige, reflecting a broader shift toward merit-based hiring.
