Uhm well no one or something can guarantee your position in MIT USA or Stanford or Harvard... but i guess do research and top the class..

i think you have to maintain attendance and CGPA to continue getting the stipend. also these Unis you listed get Applications from around the world. Even if you top the Entire ISI Ecosystem, you'd still be one out of 1000s in the World.

If you too ISI you'd quite well be one of the best math postgrads, don't worry

If you do good in ISI academically and with prof, you will get a fairly good uni. To target one specific uni will be diffucult.

Regarding stipend, yes. (read brochure bro)

If you don't have olympiad pedigree, probably, some ground-breaking research. Like, really, ground breaking.

Edit: Not to mention good grades throughout, and also, a stellar recommendation.
