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.

Why r u so suspicious about him? He was among the top 10 of Madhyamik exam. And u know the standard of WB Madhyamik exam. So he has already proven his class.

Dear Mr. Sen,
Why do you need to be so sarcastic in your post? The young guy has achieved something most (including myself) would give the right hand for. Please appreciate his achievement.
I suppose we as a nation always expect Rammar Pillais to crop up and cannot accept people doing better than ourselves.

He got admission not by luck but by determination and study. It seems there was some mis communication during interview. It is true that he had no idea about those institutes. He got some info about MIT in news paper then he tried to get info and found that he need to appear for SAT. In the mean time he got some info about top colleges from his contacts and from internet and then applied.

MIT is well known in West Bengal because the Finance Minister of WB is a PhD from MIT. I am sure Ansuman's school teacher guided him to know the names of the Universities in USA. This is a great achievement. Congratulations.
