Your in IIT!?!?!?!?!? WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LEAVE

your options in terms of future employment are much higher at IIT compared to anywhere else. employers love IIT students and many people consider IIT to be the best engineering computer science school in the world.

If you want a American collegiate experience I suggest you do a semester abroad in the US or do your masters in the U.S. DONT LEAVE IIT YOU WILL BE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE

But to answer your question students at IIT have ivy league schools as safety's so your pretty much in. BUT DONT DO IT

Pretty sure MIT is considered better and at worst on par with IIT in terms of employment opportunities especially in the US. Transfer chances are still low since there are not many seats open. Do you have any research or projects in your field completed? Why not go for a masters degree and save yourself quite a bit of money unless you are so rich that this point is not relevant?

If I've ever seen a blatantly false statement, this is it.

Not the case.

A better question is why you're considering of transferring from IIT. I'm Indian myself, so I am aware of the prestige of an IIT degree, but you should strongly think about the reasons first.
