Who has MIT, Stanford, Cornell as backup schools for engineering?

I don't think the founders of IIT imagined such massive brain drain from India on an annual basis. :laugh:

ppfffft. i dont care who you are, no one can call Stanford/MIT as a backup. Its a crapshoot getting into either of those 2.....Cornell, maybe. A great school, but the admissions standards are much lower than MIT/Stanford.

Maybe you weren't listening. These guys get into top tier American schools with scholarships if they fail to get into IIT.

They also come here

That's the whole point. The Americans do end up getting the better end of the bargain.

Watch the video.

You have like 7 IIT campuses for one of the most populous nations on earth. That means that probably less than 5% of the top students actually get to go to one. So, the remainder are still plenty smart enough to get into good schools here in the US of A, even with full scholarships.

EDIT: It's not that surprising.

Well, the IIT grads end up trying to get into that list of top tier schools here in the US for graduate school. The IIT system is no doubt an excellent set of school. However, the cutting edge, significant research still happens here in the US. We have the research dollars and industrial support, so if you want to do serious research, you have to come to the US.

Umm, I would go to Cornell or Stanford over some sh!thole where I gotta boil water to brush my teeth. Thank you.
You are a lot better off going to college in the US and familiarizing yourself with American way of life, if you plan to stay in the US of course.

Yup, I'm glad that the 'American way of life' brought up an ignoramus like you.

Sorry, I was agreeing with thereds comment about senseamp's statement.

These people probably earn more in a month than what you earn in a year.
Now.... your salary looks like a joke.

I don't think BrokenVisage/Syrch meant it in the way you've thought he has.

That may be so, but why couldn't those IIT geniuses handle Intel Whitefield chip design? Should be no problem with their superior skills, right?
Academics will only get you so far. If you are at Stanford, you are surrounded by hundreds of technology companies, your professors and maybe even classmates are starting or running their own businesses, you get to learn from the best not just about transistor physics and discrete math, you get to learn the business processes that make a successful engineering team.

MIT and Stanford don't have slums beyond the footprint of their campuses.

Americans are lazy and spoiled. That means you.
Indians have work ethic.
