While the acceptance rate and the 1st year tuition fee to Harvard in Engineering programs seems higher than MIT, MIT offers higher placement rates with a better annual salary package after graduating. If a student is specifically looking for a School with high focus on Employability, and inclination towards Engineering and Technology, they should go for MIT.
