Yes that is true. sometime back from Ajay Soota left Wipro and started Mindtree it was creme de la creme kind of company and they took only IIMs and IITians.
Slowly they moved down to premier institutes and now I believe considering the IT "Gold Rush" happening, they would have gone down further in their cutoffs.
Unfortunately for the IT industry, most good companies are going low on quality and more on volumes. And in the name of maintaining margins, they save costs on things like conducting interviews in cheap hotels.
