Hi Tejas,
Yes, MIT offers both undergraduate and graduate scholarships but very competitive and limited to the international students unless you are extraordinary. They are also based on financial need. Kindly check these important links:

Hi Rahul,
There is no set criteria but your entire academic record from 10th onwards is very crucial. Both your academic performance and extra curricular activities will play an important role during the admission process in these top ranked and selective universities. 70% or more and SAT score of 1350+ is suggested.

Hi,
MIT offers financial aids and scholarships but those are equally competitive as number of students applying for it is always high and hence the overall profile needs to be excellent. Check here for all details:

Hi,
It depends on the course and with the kind of expenses MIT and Harvard have, it would be difficult to pay your own fee. Can you mention the name of the course?

Hi Manik,
As stated earlier, there is no sure shot way to Ivy league as your application has various parameters attached to it. Some suggestions that are to be kept in mind are:
1. Be very clear of the objective of why you wish to attend a particular course in the university applying to.
2. Full scores in SAT and TOEFL/IELTs definitely improve your chances of being accepted.
3. Any innovation/Research/design that contributes to the society or ppl at large is always appreciated by Ivy leagues.
4. Apart from academics, your co curricular profile also needs to be strong enough and should display your leadership skills etc.

Hi Ayush,
It is difficult to pinpoint this as you are not specific about a course. Since you have mentioned some university names, you may visit their website and check the department specific career report. Remember there is no on-campus placement in foreign universities unlike in Indian campuses. For a country specific information, Luxembourg has the highest average salary for engineers followed by Denmark, Switzerland, USA and Germany.

Hi Ayush,
Both the universities are among world's best universities. For engineering MIT is unbeatable but getting admissions is not easy and unless you have an outstanding profile admissions and also financial aid is difficult. Please check the university websites for admission requirements and prepare accordingly.

Hi,
The following link will give you an estimate of costing at the graduation level which may vary as per your degree. Also, the cost is revised every year so keep a check on it before applying. You may look for financial aids on the same link.
