IIT OR MIT WHICH IS better

Answer:
IIT IS BETTER THEN MIT I THINK
Answer:
IIT IS SMATER THAN MIT
Explanation:
This is not an entirely fair question because MIT gets the best technical, economic, entrepreneurial minds from across the world (the US itself represents some of the best from across the world, let alone the international students at MIT)—IIT from just one country.
The education system in the good US high schools also promotes a kind of creativity, intelligence and passion for learning/inventing/discovering that most Indians just don’t have.
Academically, IIT students are perhaps comparable with MIT students. They work hard and do well on tests and homework.
When it comes to being innovative, creative, MIT wins hands down. There is just no comparison. Partly because MIT students have access to much better infrastructure, professors, industry research and resources, etc. But the smartest folks at MIT are just in a different league from what you find in India. Our society, culture and schools just don’t train us the same way. This is why Silicon Valley cannot happen in India for a few more decades.
MIT students are also far more talented when it comes to music, art, sports etc. IIT students are largely single-dimensional. Music and Economics were some of the most popular second majors or minors for engineering students at MIT. IITians usually dont have such opportunities to develop broad and rounded interests, and I suspect most don’t care too.
In India, education is not about enriching life and the mind—its a means to an end—a better job, a better life. That’s why Indian students are less passionate and more transactional about their education—and are also more willing to cheat and be dishonest in exams. Sorry, but its a fact.
I found huge number of MIT students who love working with their hands. Some of them were raised in small towns where they repaired machines, worked on farms, did odd jobs making or fixing stuff, etc. from a young age. That kind of self-reliance is rare in India where we usually look to others to do our work. There are social differences that make Americans better engineers and inventors.
I was totally overwhelmed by the kind of talent and brains I found when I went to MIT in 1995. No one I knew in India compared with many of the folks there. Not even close to the same league. Yes, my friends from India and I could get 99 percentile in SAT and ace exams but on the above factors, were far far behind. A lot has changed since then, India has come a long way. But at the top end of talent, India, and IIT, are still a way off from US, and MIT/Stanford, etc.
