Also if not those three consider YALE and PRINCETON too
How these institutes compare with IIT ( Specifically for cs )
If you’re in at IIT. Look no further. Come here for the PhD and probably get a work visa.
Still in terms of best c.s exposure which is best
( As an man always aims for best right? )
For computer science MIT and Stanford are both excellent. If you don’t get into either, or if you can’t afford them, then I would be inclined to go with IIT (assuming that you are from India). I will admit that while I have worked with many graduates from IIT, I know very little about it other than the high quality of many of its graduates. Waterloo in Canada is also excellent, as is U.of Michigan, UC Berkeley, CMU, Caltech, and multiple other US schools.
I do know a number of people who did their undergrad at IIT and then got a master’s degree in the USA. Several of them went to U.Mass Amherst which also has a very good CS department. As you might guess in Massachusetts there are quite a few hiring managers with CS degrees from U.Mass Amherst.
Assuming India resident and citizen, IIT followed by US graduate study is likely to cost much less and put you in a better position to find US employment than US bachelor’s study.
I agree with most of the above posts. I am an IITB grad, came to the US in the late 80s to do my MBA. I would suggest that you do your CS undergrad in one of the 5 original IITs and then decide about higher studies (PhD, MBA, Masters, etc) following that. Important thing is to do well at the undergrad level if you are aiming for the likes of MIT, Stanford and CMU for CS.
But guys if the ultimate goal of IITians is To pursue MS In USA Then why not doing a bachelor’s from there too ( considering you get a financial aid )
Because the average applicant from India has a snowball’s chance in hell of being accepted as an undergrad to MIT and its peers. You’ve asked a variation of this question multiple times.I’m not sure why you are expecting a different response.
Ok It seems I should start again
@skieurope Sir you mentioned my application as average ? (( Please tell me what an accepted application looks like , Cause I haven’t seen children’s winning Nobel Prize here ))
the top engineering/CS schools in the US are MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and Caltech.
HYP have weak engineering programs… go there if you’re interested in other fields outside of engineering.
“Please tell me what an accepted application looks like , Cause I haven’t seen children’s winning Nobel Prize here ))”
You’ll need to research that on your own, you’ll be competing with other Indians mainly, maybe other international applicants. You’ll have to find out what was the profile of Indians that got into those colleges. Financial aid is big, at most of these schools you’ll be expected to pay most of it, if not all.
“But guys if the ultimate goal of IITians is To pursue MS In USA”
Well that’s your goal, not necessarily every IIT graduate. If your goal is to get a CS related job in the US, then the IIT-masters in US path is the best, as others have posted. I personally would wait for the Visa situation to get better before making any grand plans of staying in the US.
In another post you said you have IIIT Hyderabad as an option. Honestly I’d go there and move forward with the affordable option you have in hand. The odds of getting into a Harvard/MIT type college from with a huge scholarship are tiny.
I’d say the odds are smaller than tiny. Now if you expanded to the next tier, still great US CS programs but not MIT, Stanford, CalBerk, or CMU; but still great schools like GaTech, UICU, UofM, PU, UMD, etc., you might have a better shot at some sort of international aide. But, I still think your best bet for the money you’ll have is the IIT route for undergraduate. Apply if you don’t believe me/us, but don’t get your hopes up.
Seems like collage confedential is killing me
@Informatics I see you are on time out and can’t respond but, if you are reading this, just use the site search function. Something like
india accepted decision results
and then Ctrl-F for “india”.
@Informatics Nobody is trying to “kill you”. But people are being honest.
Users in time out can respond.
Somebody mentioned your English as an issue. I’d disagree. At times you have a great understanding of colloquialisms whereas on other posts you don’t appear to know enough about very basic English. For instance, your word order at times is stereotypical for someone who has only a passing understanding of English whereas on some posts you get the use of “wanna” correct-something reflecting pretty advanced understanding. How is it your written English is so sophisticated on some posts but lacking in others?
In terms of MIT and Stanford, you should read the “please chance me posts”. Affordability isn’t an issue for MIT because they are need blind and promise to meet need for international students.
I was surprised that someone said Princeton’s engineering isn’t very strong. Anyone else agree? I know that’s said about H and Y although H now has a bundle of discretionary $$ to play catch up. I know a bunch of strong STEM students who attend and attended Princeton so I’m a bit surprised by that characterization. But, it’s possible those students went for the Princeton experience overall. Plus, we have a very compelling Princeton alum interviewer in this area. He is a very warm, sweet older man who seems to infuse Princeton spirit/enthusiasm in students who interview with him-so I can imagine students who on the fence about Princeton being swayed after meeting with him.
@sbballer I believe you meant to say CMU and not Caltech
