<p>I’d think MIT was tougher, simply because it’s more variable. You can get accepted on weird things, rejected on equally weird things. Kids with fabulous grades and great academics are rejected every year, which won’t happen to them at IIT – if they’re JEE-calibre, they’ll make it.</p>
<p>Of course, IIT prefers SAARC kids to EU kids, so I’m a bit screwed anyway. <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>yah… they have exams here… held by indian embassy… in april… at least in IIT the entrance marks counts and there’s one shot unlike US colleges with their capricious admission systems and those essays… (altho i do think having essays is a good thing)</p>
<p>for colleges like MIT, i think the really good and wierd ppl get in…</p>
<p>Well, I think the selection criteria is much more improved in US…(on the basis of the above posts…)…if I were to compare selection criteria of Indian colleges with the US colleges…</p>
<p>I like the essay system, actually – nice way to show off my (somewhat dubious) writing skill. 
And sometimes, as with UChicago, the essay topics are fun enough that writing them is its own reward.</p>
<p>And if weird gets you into MIT…well. Suffice it to say that I wouldn’t mind that.</p>
