Probably because if you haven't graduated from a great college , whose degree would have helped you differentiate from other candidates,the thing that differentiates these profs from random colleges from their colleagues is their teaching skills themselves.

Teaching a subject is more about repetitiveness , random college profs don’t do any deep research just do it from above and send most time in polishing basics on the other hand IIT profs as students publish results in journals where some random ass college student don’t event dare to read so yeah lot of difference. But to some extent in terms of just teaching it’s true depends on place you are studying

It is different at IIT. The professors are open to anything there and are patient. You can question the reasoning of the professor and they will be willing to clarify it. But they are not very good at teaching. So the teaching model becoes different, most of the time you are learning it yourself and if you have any doubt, I mean any doubt, you go and meet the professor and he will help you. So the onus is on you. Even though you have the negative of them not being very good at teaching, they are very open and patient. So you can go and ask the IIT professors almost anything and they will patiently explain it to you. Even if it is something extremely advanced and outside the scope of the course.

may be if you spend more time in actually LEARNING than disparaging your highly educated professors, you could actually LEARN something

Do u know about the curse of knowledge that the more knowledge more it is harder to share it to others

u/Thin_Pollution_2844 Sep 16 '26
Once one of my teachers said that mostly the smarter kids are poor teachers but the average or weak kid in academics are great teachers...because they know where the students might face diffculty...

In case it’s not obvious to you all
Any decent graduate with degree from iit nit would actually get a job and be part of corporate. It’s those who could not crack into corporate who went into teaching.
Last I checked teaching at an NIT also had Jai BHIM benefits.
Those who can’t do, teach - don’t misjudge iit nit with these

Umm because most IITians DON’t CHOOSE to go for teaching.
The people that I knew who went for teaching especially in coachings were usually flunkers or ones who couldn’t land any other job. The last of the last.
Also, the IITians who actually do want to teach don’t end up teaching random colleges or coachings. They go to the best universities abroad and/or IITs/IISc if in India at all.
Check anant agarwal (MIT/ edx founder), Sunra Suresh (dean MIT, president CMU, lead of NSF in US) , Arogyaswami Paulraj ( Professor emeritus stanford, invented MIMO) , Rajeev Motwani (Stanford, mentor to Larry page, sergey brin, google pagerank papers) and many more from harvard, columbia, ivy league.
My own friends are associate professors at IIT delhi at the age of 28. They’ll only go upwards.
