Hi Ushika,
These universities don't have a cut-off. It is understood that you must be academically very strong and must be an all-rounder. Afterall, they are world's topmost. If you are planning to study MS from these universities then please check their websites since the admission process is very different and also for some MS courses a Ph.D is compulsory. Go through the department specific websites, check the class profiles and prepare accordingly.

You have to excel in your academics and be an all-rounder. MIT is place of innovators so build your profile accordingly. Take part in high end project works and show you talented you are.

You must also visit the MIT website and get to know the student profiles so that you can prepare accordingly.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend but it won't help much.
First of all for getting B Schools outside India you need minimum experience of around 5 years. Foreign B-Schools don't accept freshers. So first look into that. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is certifications for those who are looking to get into money/asset management. If you are looking to work as an equity research analyst of portfolio manager and other such jobs then CFA can help. But again there are 3 levels of CFA.

The job opportunities that a distance education from an open university like IGNOU offer might not be comparable in front of the packages offered to IIM graduates. Especially if we look at opportunities overseas, we will find very few of those in distance learning programmes. But if we take a comparative look at the ROI, distance learning degrees don't fare that bad either. If we take into consideration the affordable and cost-effective distance learning programmes offered by open universities like IGNOU or Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University, then the placements offered by them are actually good returns on the investment we put in. The

Hi Ganesh,
You can, but you must be willing to take up a Ph.D since the MS will eventually lead to a Ph.D and they also admit students who want to be potential researchers. You must check the MIT website for the complete details. Certain pre-requisite courses, GRE, etc., must be taken.

Hi Arzoo,
You must take SAT or ACT to be considered for admissions in any of the universities in the USA for Bachelor's degrees. Georgia Institute of Technology is also highly competitive and next to MIT in terms of selection of students and world reputation. Hence, very high academic grades in class 12th, extra-curricular activities like high-end projects, sports, volunteer work, etc., will be required. You can go through the university website and check student profiles and prepare accordingly. It is also necessary that you actually check the website for specific information.

Hi Rohan,
Relevant publications and relevant project work is necessary, it may not be a full on research paper because you will learn to do research activities during your Master's degree or Ph.D. Your undergraduate project work should be related to research. Research papers are part of M.Sc and Ph.D so in due course, you will be able to produce quality research papers. They also require you to do some advanced courses in specific subjects depending on what you want to study. You can visit the university websites for details.
