This is very high level technical success, or tech elite probably upper middle or lower upper class. It isn't true elite - where did the regular company CEOs and Politicians study? Those are the truly elite universities I'm talking about.

A lot of the CEOs in the US currently come from this uni. It's called IIT, in case you're curious. There's also IIMs which are based on the same model but for business studies. Also no legacy admissions. Also produce a metric ton of CEOs and execs. There are none more elite than these, at least in India. The politicians in my country are rarely highly educated, otoh.

		Thanks yes I have worked with a bunch of people from IITs. > The politicians in my country are rarely highly educated, This is what I'm getting at. Most countries are like this, the truly wealthy and powerful aren't technical geniuses, they're good at networking and politics.
