<p>hi,
i am student from india currently pursuing BE degree in mumbai (Bombay) university in mechanical engineering.
my question is how to get into MIT for ms in mech engg? what is there exact criteria for getting admitted?
i asked so many students many teachers and many elder people
lots of people don't know even name many of them don't know how to get in but they say its too much difficult in until now i didn't get any satisfactory explanation why it is too difficult?
and most worst part is one of my relatives got ms degree from MIT and that chap is saying
its private and not telling me anything (make me angry)
also i mailed to registrar of MIT but no response(sad)
so students please help me and tell me anything about this

<p>What does it take? The best grades, the best research, a well-written statement of purpose, excellent recommendations from current professors – the whole package. Why is it so difficult to gain admission to? Because the top students in the world apply for a limited number of spots. Only the best are accepted.</p>
<p>When your relative said that MIT is “private,” he may have meant that the university is not a public university. It is a private university. Most of the top universities in the US are private institutions, although notable exceptions, such as Berkeley, exist. In most other countries, all the top universities are public ones, supported by the government. This isn’t the case with private unis in the US. </p>
<p>Also, the registrar is the wrong person to ask. The registrar deals with current students, not applicants.</p>
<p>If you have specific questions about eligibility and program requirements, look up the program on the MIT site. Because you’re coming from India, you may need an Indian master’s degree before you are eligible to apply. Most US graduate programs require the equivalent of a four year B.A./B.S. degree, and some countries do not provide that until the master’s level is completed.</p>
<p>This is a really crazy posting. There is no ‘exact criteria’. In the United States, admissions is subjective.</p>
<p>Since many more people apply than can be admitted, the school has the pick of who they want, they often have a very hard decision and have to turn away very qualified individuals. </p>
<p>At some schools, each professor gets one pick aside from the admissions committee decision. Most schools will look for a distribution between areas in the department. </p>
<p>You cannot email someone for admission criteria. To get angry at someone for not disclosing your invented criteria is childish. All you can do is talk to your advisors at school and get a realistic idea of how you stand in their eyes. That plus your GPA, your GRE scores and your research experience will influence admission, as well as your own application.</p>
