<p>I am an international student from Bangladesh. I am applying to Mechanical Engineering in IIT and I have a few questions. I would be glad to receive answers from someone currently involved with IIT. Here are my questions:</p>
<p>1) Are there merit-based scholarships available for international students? What is the approximate amount? I scored a 2100 in my SAT and got a GPA of 4.0. </p>
<p>2) How does the campus look? Is it modern or more traditional old-fashioned buildings?</p>
<p>3) How is the Mechanical Engineering department?</p>
<p>4) Are Co-ops and Internships available for international students?</p>
<p>5) I read about the engineering portfolio in the website. How useful is it?</p>
<p>6) What are the job prospects of an international student after graduating with decent grades?</p>
<p>7) Are the merit based scholarship decisions given with the admission decision?</p>
<p>8) How is the reputation of IIT among employers of big engineering firms?</p>
<p>Any answer will be greatly appreciated as IIT is one of my top choices.</p>
