'If you went to IIT and your son also had to go to IIT, you have failed': Techie's viral take sparks...

A viral X post argues that if a person who attended IIT has a son who also has to attend IIT, the parent has failed.

The post suggests IIT should serve as a one-generation 'escape ladder' for social mobility, not a family legacy.

The debate sparked discussion on social mobility, elite education, and the obsession with IIT admissions.
