Need some advice

I (26f) met my boyfriend (27m) around last October. We've been together through some of the hardest times and we love each other. I want to build a life with him and so does he but I think I'm worried about my parents. They have these unbelievably high standards where they want me to marry someone with a brand they consider highly prestigious, a typical IITian or ias and what not. My boyfriend got into iim and is doing pretty well for himself. Will my parents approve of him?If not, how do I convince them?I love him but don't want to bring him in a household where he will be scrutinized despite the hard work. And I can't go against my parents either.

My boyfriend got into iim and is doing pretty well for himself. Do you think my parents will be happy with that? Or if not, what should I do to make things work or are we better off alone? I love him and don't want to lose him but I also don't want to bring him in a household where he will not be appreciated for his hardwork and as much as I want to, I really can't go against my parents' wishes since I literally owe it to them and it goes beyond the whole because they gave birth to me thing
