Just to clarify, MIT does not give scholarships based on merit. If you get into MIT, the financial aid will be solely based on your personal financial situation. Therefore, getting a 'full-scholarship' to MIT only depends on your parents' income and your financial situation. Normally, MIT funds around 56% of your tuition fee that is around 50000 USD total. If you get into MIT, first you need to secure admission and rest finance is to be arranged as well.

Hi Ishank,
MIT is one of the top-ranked universities in the world and goes without saying that admissions are very very competitive. Admissions will depend on your overall profile. You must have excellent academic grades and also very good extra-curricular activities. Overall you must show all your qualities and what qualifies you as an applicant. Ask yourself why MIT will admit you and prepare your profile. Apart from these, you must take tests like SAT or GRE depending on what you want to study, you did not mention if you are looking for UG or PG programmes.

Dear Ayush,
There is no BCA degree abroad and not in MIT either. Please be aware that BCA is a degree only awarded by Indian universities. You will BS degrees in Computer Sciences and related field. To study BS degree in one of the toughest schools MIT you must not only have excellent academic grades but must also have an all-rounder profile. Extracurricular activities, etc. must be there. You must also take the SAT or ACT and TOEFL. A score of 1400 in SAT is recommended.
