Accenture pays IIT interns ₹1.25L/month but ₹3.5 LPA to tier-69 college grads

A quote-tweet sparked a debate: same company (Accenture), same skill set — IIT Patna interns get ₹1.25 lakh per month, while tier-69 college students are offered just ₹3.5 LPA for the whole year.
- The original poster uses the gap to mock the "college doesn't matter, only skills do" mantra.
- ayushthakur0 pushes back: college truly doesn't matter — what matters is the leverage you build during your four years; tier-1 students just statistically build more of it.
- His advice: students at non-premier colleges should use every waking hour, aided by cheap internet and AI, to create leverage.
- He concedes the tweet glosses over nuances.
