The application procedure and eligibility criteria are certainly different for both universities. But on the basis of the acceptance rate, we can say that IIT is difficult.

No, IITs rely strictly on JEE Mains and JEE Advanced scores for admission. SAT scores could be considered for NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) but not for domestic candidates.

There are no IITs that provide Aeronautical Engineering. The best IITs (IIT Bombay, IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur) offer Aerospace Engineering, which is a bigger system than Aeronautical Engineering (including both aircraft and spacecraft). To apply to a top IIT you will need a good rank for the JEE Advanced exam. The best options for Aeronautical Engineering (into a purely Aeronautical Engineering program) in India are IIST Thiruvananthapuram, MIT Manipal and Amity University Noida.
