IIT and MIT are not really competetors. There is no “if you cant get into MIT, you’d get into IIT”. Here is why …
MIT under grad is for students who will be able to pay up and study there and usually limited to students in the US.
IIT is only for students in India and you need to write an entrance exam or be a Government nominee (AKA son of a govt big wig and there are only like 10-15 seats in the pool of 3000) and be a graduate of a 12 year education not counting kindergarden including math, physics and chemistry and be under 21 years of age. I dont know of how many students will be considering this or that, not many I can assure you. Maybe a miniscule 1-2 a year.
IIT undergrad courses teach a lot of theory and some of it very obscure and irrelevant. So much so that they are usually deemed fit only for research, Saying they dont know how to hold a wrench. Also an undergrad course was 175 credits as opposed to the 120 that is standard in US. They like to breed book worms.
Cool.
