Which one is better for a BTech course: BITS Pilani or Manipal Institute of Technology Karnataka?

It's highly illogical to compare a Tier-1 engineering college like BITS to a Tier-2 university like Manipal Institute of Technology. One cannot compare universities like Manipal, VIT, SRM, Jaypee, Amity, etc. to IIT, NIT, and BITS. These colleges have no brand value of their own and most of the people coming here are those who failed to qualify for competitive exams like JEE/BITSAT/AIEEE/etc. Moreover, the exposure and opportunities offered at BITS are unmatched. It's probably the only private engineering college that enjoys excellent global recognition too. Irrespective of the branch you go for, the BITS Pilani degree has similar value everywhere. The BITS alumni network is great with some of them being co-founders of Redbus, Hotmail, etc. Here is a brief comparison of these institutes Parameters MIT BITS Pilani Fees INR 18.62 Lakhs INR 5.72 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) NIRF Ranking 61 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 25 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 Highest CTC INR 54.75 LPA INR 60.75 LPA Average CTC INR 14.10 LPA INR 30.37 LPA Top Recruiters Accolite Digital, Adani, Adobe, EY India, Oracle, Flipkart, Havells, etc Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco The only factor you need to consider while joining BITS is the high fees and academic pressure. So choose wisely!

What is the total expenditure for a BTech course in Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka?

Here is a rough estimate of the total expenditure for a BTech course at MIT Karnataka. Total Tuition Fees ( BTech): INR 18.62 Lakhs Hostel + Mess fees: Around 4–5 Lacs depending on the hostel you choose Travel expense: On average you will be spending 750-1000 per month. So the cost of a 9-month stay for 4 years will be 1000*36= INR 36000 Travel expense from home to college: This varies from person to person because if you live far away, you will have to travel by airplane. Assuming, you will be taking 4 trips a year, the cost will be around 1 Lakh. Misclieous Expenses: Around INR 5000 per month. So 5000 x 9 x 4 = 180000 INR. The above estimate does take into account the money you spend partying or going on trips. Also, it's important to note that the above estimate is purely based on my speculations and may vary from person to person.

MIT Manipal is awesome!

MAHE's best is debatable as many would say TAPMI but MIY Manipal for me win it hands down. Yes, fees are obviously high as it is Manipal University after all. MIT Maipal fees for Cyber Physical Systems is 4 lakhs per year and hostel fees are also a little high as it is 2 lakhs a year. So, overall fees paid for engineering is close to 25 lakhs.

MIT Manipal's Student Plaza is amazing!

A total of 25 lakhs is required as that's the combined college and hostel fees for four years here. 4 lakhs is course charges and around 2 lakhs are charges for the hostels and mess combined. Now on affordability yes we may score less but if compared to the brand name it is Gucci or Prada of a college and thus fees is correct.

MIT Manipal boast a night life worth spending!

MIT Manipal is a private university part and therefore MIT University which is India's topmost university charges premium from the students and thus we have to pay nearly 4 lakhs a year to get going. Also, since 95% or more students are outsiders hostels too becomes the only choice and for that the fees is 2 lakhs a year.
