I have seen that many unicorn startups are very particular about the college you are graduated from even while hiring laterals. This feels a little sad. As someone from the tier 2-3 college who struggles a lot at the start of a career - why do we need to prove ourselves continuously? Some companies do not even consider the resumes if the candidate is not from a tier 1 college. Thoughts?

True. Even though it’s disheartening we can do nothing except moving on. There are lot more opportunities for people like us and we can learn and grow there too ! Unicorns want a reputation to be built so they want their employees from the top tier institutes only. Just think it’s not worthy of your skills and talent and move on

Yeah it could be an issue but again that's why there is an education system, it's not how it should be and that's a different topic altogether but tier1,2 and 3 split up exists and considered in the market.
You can try uplifting your profile by getting certified that's all that can be done
