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. Take part in extra curriculars, project work, etc. You must take the SAT to study in US after your 12th. You can take the SAT in India and anywhere in the world. For fee, please check here:

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.

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.

Probability of getting admission in MIT or Harvard based on your current and fore casted performance is low.

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?
