Which college is better: the RV College of Engineering or the MIT Manipal for civil engineering?

I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why: MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical. If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities. Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought. The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes: Particulars RV College of Engineering MIT Manipal Highest Package 13 LPA 43.31 LPA Average Package 5.25 LPA 7.50 LPA Course Fees 14 Lakhs 16.26 Lakhs At the end of the day, your pool of interest matters the most. If you are getting your preferred branch, set the preferences that are more important to you. Are you looking for a great placement or great brand value? The choice is up to you.

Which has a better faculty in civil engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology or UPES, Dehradun?

One of my cousins is a recent graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) and mentions that the department of Civil engineering is among the oldest departments of all. Here are some factors that you should know about it. Alongside the newer faculty members, who are both professional and easy-going, the institute also has old faculty members who are well experienced as well. However, at times, they can be quite strict too. The present HOD of civil engineering is moreover admirable as well. My cousin states the same because he sat for one of his classes. He mentions that the HOD is rather supportive and dynamic. He is always willing to be of help if any student needs it for their further studies. Professors of this department keep maintaining their decorum by all means. But, the placement stats of civil engineering has unfortunately not been great in most of the institutes nonetheless.

Regardless of it, you can enroll in MIT because there are several projects to take hold of as well.

Manipal University Reality

Dislikes

The fee is high and it keeps increasing every year

Fees and Financial Aid:

The fees is actually very high compared to other colleges as it is a private college. It costs around 20L minimum to get btech from manipal. There are many types of scholarships available here which the student can avail. There is even a merit and need based scholarship available. Many companies do visit the campus for placements from 5th semester onwards for your campus placements

Manipal things

Yes, the fee is a bit out of the economical order of a middle-class person. It should be a bit lesser from now. Fess is increased 10%every year. Scholarship up to 100% off in tuition fees are present. Freeship scholarship, achievers scholarship, Merit scholarship for Konkani speaking children, scholarship for board toppers, scholarship for children of alumni. There are no jobs for students inside the campus for branches except computer and electrical branches.

Quite an experience

I personally did not get any scholarship or loan but loan services are provided by State Bank of India for an average rate of interest. scholarship facilities can also be availed by the economically weaker society of people and even meritorious students can avail merit based scholarship.

College survey

Last year our college gives a girl 2 lakhs scholarship. As she toppped in the university. And also this college offers loan. But it has 5% interest rate so we can not avail it. Ultimately it can be seen that you have to study hard

Manipal is the best

Manipal institute of technology gives us wonderful opportunity to take loans and scholarships. College itself provide very good scholarships depending on the merit basis. Loan is offered by state Bank of India without any collatoral up to twenty lakh rupees which is the highest that no other colleges I have seen. I couldn't avail any scholarship's. The loan can be cleared on 144 months.
