I think it comes down to whether citizens are coerced to part with their personal information or not. If I need access to state programs of food, clothing, shelter, I should be willing to abide by regulations that make it easier to deliver these benefits.

Aadhaar as of now is a direct coercion to part with biometrics and has inadequate features to protect against identity theft. Not having aadhaar means not getting driving license, passport, marriage license etc.

It is generally impossible to interview each an every candidate for a position. Recruiters will try and narrows the field by using easy filters. Numerical and categorical filters are easy to implement (especially if this is an automated process). For e.g. CGPA, Academic Pedigree... are easy to check for.

Recruiters are typically not techies and cannot evaluate open source contributions / other projects. As harsh as this sounds, there is an over supply of engineers in India with a marked difference in quality of teaching in tier 1 as compared to tier 2. Companies expect this difference to be reflected in candidates. Of course there are expcetion to the above, but, most companies will not pay to spend to much time giving a fair evaluation to every candidate on an individual basis.

Legally speaking they can do this on candidate attributes except race, gender, ethnicity (anything where right to equality will apply). Right to equality does not apply on academic backgrounds, i.e, people do not have a right to be treated equally in the labor market regardless of educational background. As far as I know there is no precedence going against this.
