Hearty congratulations and all the very best to Anshuman! But the story does not make sense. Someone seeing SAT ad in the newspaper, applying & buying study material & then applying to top universities... Maybe the reporter made some things up in excitement. Rediff - please ask your editors to proof anything before posting.

It seems there was some mis communication during interview. It is true that he has 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, as the finance minister of West Bengal is a PhD from MIT. According to The Telegraph, his school teachers helped him a lot, as he was the best students for the previous few years and stood 6th in the Secondary examination already.
