Hello Aspirant!
As you have cleared your compartment exam, there will be no issues while applying for Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA.

Yes, your GPA will be considerably lower (around 0.0-0.9 GPA on 4.0 scale as per Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), subjective to variations) than the usual range of GPA of the MIT aspirants (3.9-4.0) which will certainly lower your chances. But it won't affect your eligibility to apply as MIT doesn't just look for a perfect GPA. And there is evidently no minimum GPA for MIT. A student with 3.5 GPA might be accepted while another with even 4.0 GPA might be rejected. It has many parameters for selection. Its admission process is 'holistic'.
Besides having some exceptional records in extra curricular activities and other distinctions if any (like winning International Olympiad medals/ achieving something incredible etc.) along with some strong letters of recommendations, a good SAT Subject Test score (above 770) / ACT score (above 34) in Maths and Science subjects can also help.
The admit rate of international students is quite low for India (9.31% in 2019-20). So, you need to be really extraordinary. They will see what you have got to offer to their community.

Feel free to ask in the comment section if you have any more doubts in this regard.
Hope this answer will help you.
