Why is Massachusetts Institute of Technology better than IIT Bombay?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : March 17th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is not better than IIT Bombay but unique. I will tell you why it is considered unique when compared to IIT Bombay.

A few years ago there was a girl Malvika Raj Joshi, who was home-tutored by her mother and thus was rejected by IIT Bombay under the pretext that her schooling wasn’t sufficient for admission. The same girl was accepted into Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While other elite IITs rejected her because of a lack of proper school education, only Massachusetts recognized her amazing talents and decided to hone them.

She was granted admission to MIT based on her outstanding achievements at the International Olympiad of Informatics. MITs flexibility deserves applause for accepting such a student that has unique potential despite having no formal school education.

  • Malvika is a three-time medal winner (two silver and a bronze) at the International Olympiad of Informatics (IOI).
  • MIT has accepted students who are medal winners at various Olympiads (Maths, Physics, or Computer)
  • To date, MIT has birthed 34 Nobel Laureates and IIT teaches some of their theories. 

So in all these aspects, MIT is considered superior to even IIT Bombay as it gives chances to unique profile students.

Which would be better, IIT Delhi or an average US university for a PhD?

AB

Lives in Bangalore

For PhD students, their advisors are the determining factors for most of their decisions. The compatibility between the two is crucial for good research work and a PhD degree. IIT Delhi does not have very friendly professors and most of them are not willing to help you. This might hinder your performance.

With a good choice of advisor you are likely to succeed at any place be it IIT Delhi or US university. If you opt for a US University, make sure you look through the people you will be working with. The people you work with are more important than the Institute you work at. Being with the right people might make your PhD easier.

Which is more difficult to get in Harvard University or IIT-Bombay?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : March 20th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

There are two ways in which this answer can be answered, statistically and Realistically. 

Statistically speaking, the two colleges can be compared on the basis of their acceptance rates. For IIT, one needs to sit for JEE wherein around 500,000 appear for this exam. To make it into IIT Bombay, you need a rank of 2500 or below. Based on this the acceptance rate is around 0.5% of the total students who appeared for the exams.

On the other hand, Harvard School invites applications from around 10000 students and around 900 are selected out of them. Based on this, the acceptance rate is around 9% which is higher than IIT Bombay. So statistically, it is easier to get into HBS than IIT Bombay. It’s important to note that the above data is not specific and only estimates.

Rationally speaking, both colleges are miles apart, and comparing them is highly illogical.
