Chances for anyone to get into MIT are low. Less than 5%. But for internationals its even more difficult. And applicants from the subcontinent face even greater challenges because of the sheer number of competitors.

To be a viable candidate, you’ll need to rank near the top of your class (or better yet state), plus have top standardized test scores. Then you’ll need something extra special – the wow factor. Typically this is academic related: gold medal at international olympiad, or gordon moore award at ISEF, winning the FIRST robotics competition. MIT is interested in STEM success.

If you don’t have all 3 of these then it will be difficult. Not impossible, but just know that the odds are low. Best of luck
