It is unfortunate for Anshuman that he could not write IIT JEE because of illness. He got very good chance to become one of the toppers in the IIT JEE.
I don't consider this a great feat, topping the IIT or IIM list would have been great. Getting into an IIT is much -much tougher than getting into MIT. BTW this guy is Oriya or Bengali, Panda's are oriya if I am not wrong. SSSSS is correct. I know West Bengal very much I had stayed there for more than 5 years before moving to the US, even the engineering colleges except IIT-K are worthless, corrupt educational system, students whose parents are linked to the ruling party are toppers in exams. The engineering colleges are filled by students from neighbouring states. Pathetic!

don't you see that his house didn't even have electricity? a well educated dude like you getting into 'even' IIM is lesser than anshuman getting into MIT. The idea here is victory amidst adversity and not 'what university'.

don't talk crap - merit seat in MIT is only for truly brilliant. The many 1000s who get into IITs are those who studied for two years in Kota coaching classes...yeah - if you call that hard work and difficult. Try getting 99 percentile on SAT or GMAT.

Remember that guy from Bihar who got admitted to NASA. Fooled the whole nation. I don't believe that he had no idea that MIT is the best in the world, and he seleted MIT by sheer luck, infact all the colleges he selected tops the list. Lies all round. Still congrats for your so-called achievement. Hope India will get it correct this time.

His aspiration was IITs and had no idea about MIT. He is from a society where majority of the peoples dont know even IIMs. It was his luck that he came accross some info about MIT. Then he did some research and got some info. 7-8 months back he had no idea about MIT, SAT etc. He got 2400 out of 2400 in SAT subject tests. It is his bad luck that he could not appear for IIT entrance for illness other wish he could have topped there also.

hmmm, just congratulate the kid yaar. What he has done is commendable and no harm in encouraging a hard working person who is trying to make it on his own. I think we should all wish him all the best for the future.
Anshuman .. you have shown all of us that perseverance and hard work (and a little bit of luck also) can yield great results... CONGRATS and all the best for your future.
we have a great news when we see our students getting openings in world university even if the fees and other factors have confused indian students while aspiring for iits/iims

Hey ... u dont have anything else to do but write this same comment as a reply to everyone !! or is yours a case of sour grapes ...
come on the boy has achieved something ... & its not like our colleges would have taught him for free ... at least hes got scholarship here .. & if he had got thru one of the Indian institutes, i dont think any sponsor would have come ahead.
He is one of those innumerable hidden talents who are perhaps in all corners of our country. But now I am thinking how does it help us as an indian, no doubt he is going to shine in academics, will earn big money(and he must do), help to raise the finacial status of his family and perhaps a few more who are related to his, but then look at the poor infrastructure of our goddamn country that cannot take the advantage of his merit, that cannot employ him for India. Well as an world citizen if someday he invents something bigger that will be help to the humanity, but dont we, Indians , need those talents to uphold India's R & D legacy.
