SAT Scores

Hello Mahesh,
SAT scores are not mandatory for international students, however strongly recommended for freshman students. Taking the SAT will strengthen your profile, increase your admission chances and also the visa possibility.

Hi Ankit, you can apply but whether you will get admission no one can predict or guarantee. Depends on your profile and MIT's internal selection process. There is no single factor basis which they decide.
You need not apply for scholarship, all applicants are considered for financial aid at the time of admissions. Scholarships are then awarded to candidates with an all-rounded profile. All the best.

Hi Daksh,
The university suggestion can only be given if you share your profile in detail. What do you mean by a good CV and good marks?
I would suggest you to write to studyabroad@shiksha.com and share your profile. Shiksha's study abroad counselors will get in touch with you and assist you with the university selection and application process. It is free of cost service.

There is no minimum cut-offs. A score of above 1350 will be good, but it will not guarantee admissions. You must have an all-rounded profile, outstanding academics, good SAT, strong extra curricular activities and high intelligence to be considered for MIT.

Dear akshat. it depends upon how mch that you are confident on SAT results. if you are able to crack with good score no problem. therefore, best. join in good university . all the best. if you are confident do not join anywhere. all the best.

Hi Anmol,
There are over 3000 colleges in US which accept SAT. Some of the top colleges are - Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Rochester, Duke, Brown etc.
Most of these colleges provide scholarship depending upon you need. But they will only provide it if you are admitted. Some other bodies which provide 100% scholarships in India are - Dr. Manmohan Singh Scholarship for Cambridge, Next Genius Scholarships, Tata Scholarship for Cornell etc.

SAT is a competitive exam for undergraduate admission in US universities. Most universities in USA want that students should take this exam. There is another similar exam called ACT for US Universities.
Currently, SAT is out of 1600 marks.

I have studied abroad for my Bachelors degree and it was and is extremely expensive. Your living expenses are INR 10 lakhs per year and the tuition fee is minimum INR 10 lakhs per year. If you want to study HSC Year 12, you would have repeat 2-3 years. Hence I strongly recommend that you finish your Bachelors degree here in India with good percentage or grades. Then you may go abroad. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi Kushagra,
You are not eligible for German Universities. You require 13 years of education.for USA, SATs are mandatory. If your SAT score is good, you need not worry too much about your school grades. They would be considered but not the only criteria for your application.

Hi Kritika,
SAT is not mandatory. But if your grades are average it is recommended you take SAT as universities in Canada are very competitive.
