Any US school is still better than anything out of (N. D. uh). When you look at H-1B's profiles in Workday you see they graduate with B.Tech degrees (Bachelor of Technology) degrees, which is not the same as US researched based Bachelor of Science in Engineering. Their B.Tech is more similar to a Devry course of study. If you see B.Tech from any tier of technical institute from (N. D. uh) on a C.V. you should understand this is like they attended Devry in the US.

This is playing out exactly like 2000 and 2008 crashes, only much more severe and rapid than I recall. In 2000, my top school interns wanted nothing less than $100K salary to come to Intel (I was making $65K) - a year later they were all calling me asking for a job and no mention of salary requirements.
Hahahahahahahahahahah
Elite college grad coming to Intel?
Hahjahahahah
No more 'waltzing' in tech at all
Doesn't apply to Intel. Intel hasn't recruited from elite engineering schools for 20 years. See the CV of the execs. They used to be from Caltech, MIT, Berkeley (Moore, Noyce, Grove). Now it's more like SJSU (BK), ASU, PSU.
