Admission in MIT is holistic which means they are interested in the whole person not only in grade and marks. You will need following things to apply:
1) Your transcript
2) Extracurricular activities
2) Teacher's recommendation
4) Counselor recommendation
5) Standardized test scores like SAT and TOEFL. Currently MIT application are open you can apply for it. -
You will have to apply for SAT only. SAT score will decide your eligibility for MIT for engineering. You haven't mentioned your age which is also crucial. Also you did not mention the name of board for class 12th. These are important details to be mentioned. For more information on abroad study, refer to Shiksha's study abroad website.
