Ex-Google recruiter: Skills matter more than degrees

Ex-Google recruiter Prasad Rao says a B.Tech degree or college name alone is no longer enough to secure tech job interviews.

Rao emphasizes that recruiters value real-world achievements, internships, competitive programming, and problem-solving skills.

He states that a bachelor's degree matters but B.Tech specifically does not get you an interview.

Rao recommends students focus on building, creating, and demonstrating practical abilities to stand out.
