It’s a living lab.” That’s what the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is to its very own proud students. When Barack Obama visited MIT in October 2009, he used a few more words to describe the institute’s awe-inspiring culture of innovation, and entrepreneurship: “It is the legacy of daring young men and women . . . willing to take risks on an idea that might fail, but might also change the world.” The reason for MIT’s is simple: it is the world’s best educational institution on several counts, a fact attested by reputed educational surveys time and again, including those of QS, Times Higher Education, and US News. The QS Top Universities List 2018 put MIT at the very summit in a comparison of over 950 institutions from 84 countries. Stanford came second, Harvard third, Caltech fourth, and the UK’s University of Cambridge fifth. The criteria were academic reputation (40 percent weight), employer reputation (10 percent), faculty-student ratio (20 percent), citations per faculty (20 percent), international faculty ratio (5 percent), and international student ratio (5 percent). Founded in 1861, MIT admitted its first batch of freshmen in 1865, as part of an effort by reputed natural scientist William Barton Rogers to establish a university that would help industrialize the US. The quality of academics, student selection, professors and students, and research and labs, and the academic flexibility offered to students, make its campus, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a dream educational destination. Popular culture tributes to MIT include films, TV series, books, and comic strips, which have motifs inspired by the institute or references to its culture of meritocracy. The films include Good Will Hunting (winner of two Oscars) and Blown Away, TV series Arrested Development and The Big Bang Theory, books include those by Kurt Vonnegut and Isaac Asimov, and comic strips include Doonesbury and Dilbert. But MIT’s USP is its tradition of transforming ideas born in its labs into hugely successful businesses. MIT students have launched so many companies that Bill Clinton described it as “the best technology transfer program in the country.” The revenues of companies founded by MIT put together would make up the 11th biggest economy in the world. And it is a growing economy: students continue to launch start-ups by the dozen after entering an MIT competition and winning $100,000 seed money. In 2011 alone, 694 inventions were born at MIT. Over the years, the inventions out of MIT have included microchips, ethernet, email, GPS, computer games, OpenCourseWare, transistor radio, fax machines, solar power, spread sheet, refined oil, nuclear fission, artificial skin, and disposal razor, to name only a few. About 20 research centers on the campus explore topics from cancer research to ocean engineering and nanotechnology. Many of MIT’s professors alumni are legends in their fields: Tim Berners-Lee, the man behind the World Wide Web, was once a professor at MIT. Alumni include Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Nobel Laureates Richard Feynman and Paul Krugman, GM CEO Alfred Sloan, and Amar Bose of Bose Corporation. As of 2017, 88 Nobel laureates have been affiliated with MIT. How to get into MIT as an international student How difficult is it to get into MIT? Selectivity statisticsAccording to statistics of the class entering in the fall of 2017, there were 20,247 freshmen applicants, but only 1,452 admits (acceptance rate 7.2 percent). Applicants included 15,594 US citizens or permanent residents, and 1,317 (8.4 percent) were admitted. As many as 4,653 were international applicants, and 135 (2.9 percent) were admitted. The student body composition as of December 31, 2017, was 4,493 students in undergraduate courses (including 470 international students, or 10.46 percent), and 6,797 students in graduate courses (2,868 international students, or 42.2 percent). Of the total students of 12,950, international students comprised 3,941, or 30.43 percent. Of the international students, 947 (24.03 percent of international students) were Chinese, 368 (9.34 percent) Indian, 277 (7.03 percent) Canadian, 226 (5.73) South Korean, and 123 (3.12 percent) French. Mind your languageThe admissions process is the same for all students, including international students, with the exception of a language requirement, which varies from department to department. Applicants whose first language is not English must provide proof of their ability to study in English. Qualifying applicants must take TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Waiver of the English language requirement may be given to students who have done their primary and secondary schooling in English, and to students who have been in the US for four years or longer and have received a degree from a US institution. Master’s degree requirementsFor master’s degrees at the MIT, a minimum of one academic year of study is necessary, and for engineering degrees, two years. The application process may vary between departments. However, all graduate-level applicants must apply online to MIT through the online portal. Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a reputed university, and submit their CV/resume, letters of recommendation, a statement of objectives, GRE score, TOEFL/IELTS score, and transcripts. The application fee for MIT master’s degrees is $75; it is between $75 and $250 for the MIT Sloan School of Management. Information on the limited financial aid available and details of passport and entry requirements and visa options are available on the website gradadmissions.mit.ed. Most departments demand past good work not only in the applicant’s specific area of interest but also in mathematics and the physical sciences. Some of them accept applicants with just one year of college-level study in these two areas. Applicants interested in more than one department need to submit separate applicants. Applicants’ academic and professional acumen is gleaned from their academic records and from letters of recommendation from persons who are familiar with the applicant’s work. Top academic scores do not guarantee admission but indicate to MIT whether the candidate can meet the demanding graduate academic requirements. An applicant’s performance on standardized tests such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), TOFEL, and IELTS is an important criterion for admission. A few MIT management programs accept GMAT scores. TOEFL/IELTS may be waived by a few departments for applicants from English-speaking universities. No GRE waiver is available. Student bloggers’ tipsGetting into MIT requires many months of preparation, says a blogger, Dishita T. (Architecture) student from Mumbai, in the “Being International” section of MIT’s graduate admissions blog. Most graduate applicants would be employed, and it requires some effort to prepare for student life once again. They would have to prepare for GRE and at the same time compose an academic and professional portfolio, reach out to professors from a distant past for recommendation letters, and look at funding options. And then there is the statement of purpose to write. Statement of purpose is an important part of the application, points out Amanda C. Biological Engineering) in her blog post. An applicant should show that he/she is qualified by quantifying and interpreting experiences.

Hi Anand,

Let me tell you have a decent rank in TANCA and according to your MBC category you should be able to get good colleges. The colleges like CEG and MIT are some of the best colleges under Anna University and the GATE candidates are also competing for the seat so the competition is really tight. Still you have a chance but a slim one to make it there. But you totally can as trends change every year.

Good Luck !!

Hello aspirant,

According to your rank in TANCET and your category, you will surely get seat in MIT or any other government colleges. 

The cut off mark will vary each year depending on factors like -

• How hard the question paper is.
• The total number of applicants attending the entrance exam, etc.

For TANCET 2015 the cutoff was 45.33 but for 2017 it was somewhere around 28. This was because the question paper was much harder and students scored lesser marks.

It also depends on which quota you belong to. The cut of mark for candidates in SC/ST and other backward communities is lower when compared to Open Category students.

For example, an OC candidate with 45 score in TANCET may not get admission because the OC quota is full. Whereas, a candidate belonging to SC could get admission even if his/her score is 40, provided that vacant seat to the quota is available.

Hope this will be helpful..

Hello aspirant,

Your marks is very good and according to your marks you acn easily get admission in ANNA university and MIT.from my point of view you have to go for CSE or IT branch because both have good future and if you are thinking about future then also you have to for it because both branches have good scope and good future. So, you have to go for CSE or IT branch.

MIT is the best.Better Choose CS&IT in MIT which having More Placement Opportunities when Compared to other Departments.

Hope This Helps.

Hi Arjun,

You have a decent rank in TANCET ME 2019. But since you belong to OC category your chances of making into government colleges like MIT, CEG etc. PSG is one of the top colleges and since not only the TANCET candidates but GATE candidates are also competing it might be difficult o make the cut. Leaving that you have a good chance. Be hopeful.

Good Luck !!

Hi aspirant,

Congratulations on this good score in Tancet. But unfortunately, this score is not enough to obtain a seat in MIT or CEG as both of these colleges expect higher cut off in Tancet. DUe to the level of competitions, these seats are fastly filled by the top cut off rank holders itself, hence it is better to lookout for other colleges in order to have a assured admission.

Hope this helps

All the best
