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.
