<p>Yeah… MIT, Princeton and Caltech don’t offer any scholarships at all - just need based aid. :-/</p>
<p>And Shashank, be careful what you say - you never know who lurks here (I have had some pretty surprizing encounters).</p>
<p>And in any case how does being an Indian make it easier for scholarships?</p>
<p>That Kamal Sinha website is very interesting read for all of us IIT bashers.
IIT-loving lurkers: we are lashing out mostly at the selection procedures…</p>
<p>Caltech offers Axline scholarships…</p>
<p>Yes Shashank- merc was once stalked :p</p>
<p>Incidentally Merc did your sister get in to Mahindra?</p>
<p>sucharita, it wasn’t me 
and you rather not divulge such sensitive info on a public forum :mad:</p>
<p>p_dinc: no, she didnt apply (time constraint, board exams). and then the story about potheads…</p>
<p>Merc thats really sad…</p>
<p>Im at Mahindra and she really should have applied. The pothead story’s mostly hogwash in any case - just about as many stoners here as you would find in any other college in Mumbai or Delhi or any other place.</p>
<p>it wasn’t you 
</p>
<p>oh that…no. This is another stalking story about how someone on these boards found out all your personal info and scared the **** out of you by telling you about it…unless of course he was lying to me :p</p>
<p>TO THE OFFENDER- were you lying to me? :mad:</p>
<p><em>grave doubts that the offender will see this :p</em></p>
<p>sucharita, tell me more about it…</p>
<p>p_dinc: sorry, i’m not directly familiar with mahindra uwc so i tend to believe what ppl say :)</p>
<p>merc-mahindra uwc is not that bad as its made out ot be</p>
<p>(on the other hand,its not that good either…)</p>
<p>harry potter >/ fountainhead </p>
<p>So if 90 % of IItians are male. That makes the intelligence ratio of male to female 9:1 ( there are 9 smart guys to every smart girl) . Sheesh see how screwed up Indian educational system especially IIT is? Why cant they just have consider board exam results and life of 2 lakh students easier. Synchronizing your coursework with CBSE is not that hard people!!! </p>
<p>Soon it will be an all male school and people will still say " hey look !!! IIT - model university for the world !!! "</p>
<p>Why cant they just have consider board exam results and life of 2 lakh students easier. Synchronizing your coursework with CBSE is not that hard people!!! </p>
<p>because then it would actually be rational, and logical. such things do not have place in our wonderful educational system.
blaspheme.</p>
<p>No, it will make no difference. Look at BITS, Pilani… cutoff is 97%…</p>
<p>merc actually it will if IIT does away with thier entrance or ATLEAST HAVE IT IN DECEMBER . What the f is the rationality behind having such an imp exam ( well for some people) 10 days after your BOARD exams get over?</p>
<p>Unless colleges in India start looking at something other than marks in boards or entrances i doubt this mediocrity will stop.</p>
<p>i Think it should be compulsary for everyone to give the IIT exam only after a gap year</p>
<p>hey…</p>
<p>good mornign ppl!!..</p>
<p>how did iitz go??..</p>

Exactly… and 10 days after US decisions…
