In the film, the Royal Institute of Technology, the school where the three protagonists were admitted, is actually the Indian Institute of Technology. Through the dialogue and daily study life of the three people, it is not difficult to see that the Royal Institute of Technology is the most difficult but powerful institution of higher learning in India. As long as you can get into this college and graduate smoothly, the future is limitless.
In fact, Indian Institute of Technology is indeed the highest ranked school in India, consisting of seven branches, but all seven branches are very independent and can participate in domestic and world rankings respectively, and the seven branches rank well in China and even the world.
But in the comprehensive ranking, Indian Institute of Technology lags far behind Tsinghua University and Peking University. In the latest world university rankings, Tsinghua has successfully entered the top 20, ranking 17th, while Peking University ranks 30th in the world, although its ranking has dropped, while Indian Institute of Technology is hard to squeeze into the top 200. Therefore, if it is only ranked, Indian Institute of Technology cannot be compared with Tsinghua Peking University in China, even surpassing Fudan University and Zhejiang University Shanghai Jiaotong University. Compared with these 985 institutions, China University of Science and Technology can only be regarded as the above-average 985 institutions of higher learning in China, such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Tongji University and so on.
However, these first-class institutions of higher learning in China are comprehensive universities, but Indian Institute of Technology is not. Its most powerful major is software engineering, so the students trained by Indian Institute of Technology are all IT elites. Every year, countless IT elites graduate from Indian Institute of Technology and go to Silicon Valley to seek gold. Many of them later became middle managers and even executives of major American technology companies.
There used to be a joke: a professor saw an Indian student in the class of a freshman at MIT, so he asked him inexplicably, why didn't you go to your Indian Institute of Technology to study, but came to MIT? The student replied that I had to come to MIT because I failed the exam.
Admittedly, this joke has exaggerated elements, but I have to say that in India, it is very difficult to get into the Indian Institute of Technology. Some institutions have done special research. Indian Institute of Technology is the most difficult university in the world. Although this has a lot to do with India's population, examination rules and other national conditions, it is also an indisputable fact that the examination is difficult, the admission rate is low and graduation is difficult.
Moreover, students who graduated from Indian Institute of Technology are very popular in the United States. Some people say that this is because Americans like to hire Indians to work for them, and Indians are willing to serve Americans. We are different in China, and we don't like being inferior. However, the fact is that many students who graduated from our country went to Silicon Valley and worked under the direct management of Indians. We don't like working for Americans, and we don't like being inferior to Americans. Do we just like being ordered and instructed by Indians?
So my conclusion is that although the ranking of Indian Institute of Technology is far less than that of Tsinghua Peking University, or even Fudan University and China University of Science and Technology, its influence is not inferior to that of Tsinghua Peking University.
