International students, especially Indians, who want to get into Oxford University, must hold a strong qualification with excellent academic records. They must submit secondary school grades of A-level or equivalent. Indian students must aim for at least 90% in Class 12, especially in the subjects included in the eligibility criteria. In addition, they must submit the standardized test scores, including ACT and SAT, for undergraduate admission, demonstrate English language requirements, and meet course-specific requirements.

It is not so easy to pick any of them. Both Oxford University and MIT are world-class institutions. Almost every student wants to study in any of them, but they excel in different subjects. 

  • The Oxford University in UK, is renowned for humanities, social sciences, and research tradition, offering a broad education.
  • On the other hand, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in USA is globally famous for STEM, engineering, and technology innovation.

In short, the better institute for you totally depends on your interest of study and career goals, rather than overall prestige.
