I'll be applying to a lot of universities. Based on how many acceptances I get, I'll shortlist them. :) :D
Then I'll decide where to go, based on the program, scholarships and financial aids available, undergraduate research opportunities, etc.

If you can't go to US or UK without a scholarship, then I'm sorry to say that 20 lakhs is not enough. There's tuition fees, living stipend, accommodation costs, equipment and books, etc. All of us are aiming for financial aids and scholarships. Go to each universities websites and search for the scholarships they offer. If you get accepted into MIT, or Stanford, etc., they'll provide financial aid that'll help you to attend those universities. Just focus on getting accepted first, and apply for scholarships and financial aids.

Look Priya, I am also from the same category as you are, still I know that I wanna got to MIT, not only us but many other Poor/Middle class family child want to go there in minimum budget and many have already reached there and had passed out with great results. The thing we should keep in mind is TO GIVE OUR BEST SHOT! Forget other things, just believe in yourself and proceed your life. :)
All the best. (y)

The range is A* - B so yes enough. But what about SAT then? If you are going to MIT or any other uni you have to submit your SAT scores a year before. So there is no possibility for you to get into MIT nor Stanford. Waste a year than your life. Sochlo phir decision lena. Let other to reply specially DarkEclipse

MIT and Stanford are met by fierce competition amongst other applicants. Since you haven given the SAT, you won't get the admission in American unis, but you can still get the admission in UK unis. Here is what you will require if you apply to MIT:
http://mitadmissions.org/apply/transfer/documents

You can try in Cambridge University as well. Their requirements are atleast one A* and 2As, which you already satisfy. But to appease their insatiable desire to select the best students from across the world, you will need extra circulars, community service .etc. There are many other unis in UK. Do mention some and I might as well guide you on each one separately
What you need to worry about is the admission. Don't worry about the fees, there are always loans, grants and scholarships to avail from. And they are not the same from everyone; it is primarily dependant on the annual revenue of your parents/guardians, your property amount... (ie. your financial status). However, what I must add is that the cost of living in UK is great. Comparatively America is a a cheaper place to live.

What I would also recommend to you is that do look out for Australian and Canadian unis. To divert your attention from your local unis to the best unis in the world is a great start, and I would advise you to broaden your perspective. If however, you are averse in doing so, or have relatives that live in UK, then do what makes you happy
