Historically, MIT is not an acronym since it’s not pronounced as a word. MIT is just an abbreviation (specifically an initialism), while NASA is an acronym.
I don’t think there’s any rules about capitalization and acronyms, as scuba and laser are acronyms, and not capitalized, but NASA is. I’ve also never seen Nasa, it’s always all capitals NASA.
