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.

Hi Abhishek,
Work extra hard on your academics, very high percentage would be required. Admissions are based on overall profile, check MIT admission requirements website and prepare accordingly.

Hi Pratap,
There is no single thing but you must consider many things or factors to apply to a tough university like MIT. Very good academic grades around 75% and a high SAT score of 1400+. These are just the stats. You would also require a very strong all-rounder profile with extra-curricular activities, etc. Please check their website to understand the requirements and selectivity and the fees. Also, you did not mention if you want to study Bachelor's or Master's degree programs.

Hi,
On campus placement is only available in Indian universities. MIT has career assistance cell which helps students network with potential employers, they organize career fairs, etc. but not placement. As an international student you can work under OPT rule for 3 years. After OPT either you have to come back or you may be hired by the employer. In this case employer has to sponsor the H1B visa which is the biggest problem. You can google about H1B and OPT.

Hi Payal,
Please clarify if you are talking about MIT USA, MIT Australia or our very own MIT in Manipal. Also it would be better if you mention about your education details.
