Dislikes

The placement was very average, but i think other colleges had worse.

Placement Experience:

The PG students get a lot of companies and their average package is 6 LPA i believe. Last year the highest package was 20 LPA a girl got from Vedantu during college placements. Placements apparently have taken a toll after covid. For UG students there are less opportunities and the average package for us was 3.5 LPA

Manipal Institute of Communication Review

Placement Experience:

Placements are good only if you're interested in AD&PR, graphic design, and videography but not good if you're interested in journalism. The salary packages ranged from 2 to 5 LPA. I didn't get placed because of the unavailability of jobs that interested me during the college placements.

Internship Provided by The Institute

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for campus placements towards the final semester of their course. Currently, I have only been using the help of my faculty for internship opportunities, since I am not looking for placements. But they have connections with big names in the communication sector, and they often have personalities coming in to give talks and interact with the students. A great number of students opt for placements and approximately 90% of them do end up getting posted at really good companies. Others choose to continue with higher education. My plan after receiving my degree would be to take up a diploma in literature in the UK, while simultaneously finding myself a position at a good publishing house there.

A great multidisciplinary option to explore your career

Placement Experience:

Around 10/11 companies come for jobs which is decent for a batch of 100 students. There is a minimum cap on the salary being offered and students are usually not allowed to sit for placements if they are already places unless its from a select few companies which come under a dream list. Some of the companies which hire regularly are Reuters, Adfactors and Viacom 18, Radio Mirch and Vedanta also hired people last year.

College Was Fun!

Placement Experience:

Placement scenario is stressed upon right from the time we join the college. There is a separate placement cell and all. All the students, who registered for placements got placed in one company or the other. We get a lot of help preparing for the placements during the college years. The average placement package is not declared so I don't know about it. Major companies who came recruiting were Reuters, Cognizant, Viacom18, Goldman Sachs, Adfactorts, and Edelman. Overall, you really won't be disappointed about the placements in Manipal!

My college experience

Placement Experience:

From my seniors, I hear that 20/30 % of students from our college get placed. But now being in my final sem I know the reality. For covid and lockdown, the placement sector has been badly hit. Only a handful of companies came this year (5/6 companies). 4/5 people from our batch are placed but no placement for the big chunk of people. From 5th sem students become eligible for placements but in 5th sem, no company came to our college for placement this year. Only in the 6th sem, the placement cell started. Companies that visited till now ( some of them came to take interns and didn't offer full-time jobs) 1) Clevertize, 2) Social Panga, 3) Robert Bosch GmbH, 4) Saatchi & Saatchi, 5) Publicis, 6)PR Pundit, 7) McKinsey, 8) Edsol Edtech, 9) Momo Media, 10) MSL, 11) Genesis BC, Offers: 1.5-3 LPA (average). I plan to send CVs personally to companies through LINKEDIN and other job search platforms because the college hasn't provided us with good placement offers as claimed.

Placement for our batch wasn't very fulfilling. The companies like genisis, Reuters, NDTV, Ad Factors, Social Panga etc. There is a alumni group of the entire university which gives you update about vacancy in their respective companies

Anonymous's Review On Manipal Institute Of Communication - [MIC], Manipal

Placement Experience:

The alumni network at Manipal Institute of Communication is quite solid. We do get a bunch of internship opportunities & placement opportunities based on alumni recommendations. However I can't say much about this as I do not have first hand experience since my batch hasnt had the opportunity to sit for placements yet.

Though I personally still haven't sat for any placement sessions (as I'm still in the first year), the placements go really well and almost all the students get good jobs. Well known companies come every year.

Manipal Institute of Communication: 1 Answered Question

If Manipal Institute of Technology is so good, why are there so few selections in GSoC, or no selection in ACM ICPC from it?

Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

First of all, the quality of an institute can’t be assessed by the number of selections in GSoC and ACM ICPC from it. Indian colleges provide no special training for GSoC. The selections are completely based on the efforts and skills of students.

My friend from the Manipal Institute of Technology got selected for GSoC a few years back. He did it in his first year itself. There were others in his batch who would’ve gotten selected had they applied.

Now the reasons for a low participation rate in GSoC may be as under-

Low interest in FOSS . The time and coding effort required in FOSS can be put in algorithmic challenges. The latter can be made competitive unlike FOSS contribution and is more closely related to the coursework. Companies also test algorithmic knowledge first, so people are more inclined towards that.
Lack of mentors . For open-source development, a good mentor is needed.

As for ACM-ICPC, the teams from Manipal do make it to the on-site. However, the selection rate is low because of poor strategy and poor planning. The teams are unbalanced as well.

Manipal has a good programming culture. There are weekly Code Meets where students meet up and discuss random algorithms and problem-solving techniques, past questions from competitions like ACM-ICPC, and general questions from SPOJ. Clubs like IE CSE, IEEE Manipal, and ISTE host coding competitions throughout the year. Manipal hosts dedicated tech fests for coding and computers.

Even though Manipal doesn’t perform too well in GSoC and ICPC, the students are making constant efforts to improve in that direction. Also, this is an irrelevant criterion for judging the quality of education in an institution.
