Some scholars believe that IIT is more difficult than Harvard University due to high cut-offs and lower acceptance rates.

Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology has a legacy of over sixty years. Choosing a BTech here gives you highly stable lab setups. Newer IITs often lack mature campuses or deep industry connections. This college offers a massive network of successful old alumni. They help students secure elite job placements and mentorships easily.

Absolutely yes. Every year, BTech graduates from Mysore colleges successfully clear GATE and secure admissions in top institutions like IITs, NITs, and VTU itself for M.Tech programmes.

 Apart from M.Tech admissions, a good GATE score also opens the door to PSU (Public Sector Undertaking) jobs in organisations like BHEL, NTPC, ONGC, BSNL, and KPTCL.

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. Also, JEE scores open doors to more colleges other than IITs,  which gives candidates a higher opportunity to pursue the degree of their liking.

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.
