If your financial situation is good, then this place will be perfect for you. You will develop as an individual both academically and intellectually studying here. The environment is apt for education, it is welcoming and peaceful.

KMC Manipal has an excellent crowd contrary to the general perception. Here, you need brains and not money to get admission. The admissions are based on merits so the quality of the crowd is not compromised at all. Only about 10% of the batch are NEI students or those with Indian ethnicity but are not citizens of this country WHO had to pay to get their seats. There are no management seats at all. The truth is that the number of meritorious students in government colleges is actually less because they have reservations for backward classes while private colleges do not.

So, go for KMC Manipal!
