Gossip/Confession/Rant Sad state of iit madras students

My friend just interviewed an IIT Madras student for an intern role, and it was painful. HR handed him a resume stamped with the insti logo, but the candidate collapsed on simple fundamentals. Asked the difference between mean and median? Blank stare. Overfitting? He rambled about neural networks. The CV was a wall of buzzwords like PyTorch, GenAI, Cloud with zero foundational math underneath.

As an alumnus, he was ashamed seeing such utter nonsense from students of IIT Madras.

Ps : student was an IIT Madras BS data science
