 You see rich kids at IITs. You see sons and daughters of rich businessmen making it to IITs.

You also see poor kids at IITs. You see students who cannot afford to survive in IIT without a scholarship. Students who studied with borrowed calculators and books to prepare for JEE.

You see students who only speak in English all the time. You also see students who have never spoken English or studied in an English medium school.

You see students from the north of India at IITs. You see students from the south of India. You also see students from the east and west of India.

You see Hindus at IITs. You also see Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains and students from other religions. You see students from all castes and backgrounds in IITs.

Everyone in IIT is treated equally, regardless of their background. Once in IIT, everyone has access to the same launching pad. It is then completely upto the students how well they utilize the launching pad.
