Let's look at it from point of investors and employers. If you want to make your own startup there are 2 things the investors keep in mind 1. Your product or idea is something really unique or very advanced than whatever is currently in the market and you have a prototype or a team working on it then they will give you funding even without your education qualification. Eg. OYO 2. If you have a college degree let's say from iit or iim then you are going to get the funding even if your ideas lags clarity at current point because the option of pivoting is always there. Eg. Zomato Now let's look from employers point. 1. If it is a startup they tend to hire people from IIT or IIM not because of skills but because of tag as they will use it to pitch to investors or their clients that they have certain type of employees. 2. If it is a company that do not care about degree then they need highly skilled person. 3. You don't want to join a Lala company. But if you do they need nothing.
