well…the best tech schools in india are the Indian institutes of technology. 500,000 people apply each year and 5000 finally get admitted…1% acceptance rate so only prodigies make it. Another good place is BITS where you need a minimum gpa of 96-97 on a 100 point scale to make the grade. So when you compare that with the acceptance rates in MIT and Caltech…yeah the REALLY smart people could just about use them as match schools (calling them safeties would be going a bit too far specially since they aren’t need blind for intls and most Indians need quite a bit of aid), provided of course that they had good ecs recs and essays.
