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.

Jerin,
Kindly, mention which program, Bachelors or Masters?
Also, note that clearing an entrance will not guarantee admission, these are world-class universities and most selective.
You can visit their websites and go through the department pages.

Hi Rohit,
MIT is very competitive. If you are applying for Bachelor's degree then you must take the SAT and SAT subject test. You must score very well in your 12th. Excellent extracurricular activities, research work, projects etc. must be demonstrated. Scholarships are limited, every applicant is considered for scholarship. It completely depends on the university and the student's profile when it comes to scholarship decisions. You must work very hard on your academics for any financial aid.

Hello Vivek,
MIT is the most prestigious university and ranked No.1 in the world.
It is very very difficult to get into MIT with an average profile.
Admission is not guaranteed even if the GRE score is 340/340.
You need to have at least 85-90% or 9+ CGPA in Bachelor's degree.
Apart from these, previous research works, work experience and Journal publications will be an asset to your profile.
Your SOP's and LOR's should be very strong.
There are two intakes : January and September
For the Application deadlines, check the university website.
All the best.
