Do IT giants like Google and Facebook hire B.Tech students from Manipal Institute of Technology?

MS
Medha Sinha Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Studied at Manipal University

IT giants like Google and Facebook do not visit MIT Manipal for campus placements however that does not mean that students of this college dont make it to these IT giants. We have examples of a few alumni who are now working in these companies. 

Let me tell you an interesting fact. Companies like Google and Facebook dont recruit on the basis of your college credibility or grades. They have a fixed mark set up for their employees, and everyone who qualifies for this mark gets hired. So the college from which you completed your graduation has nothing to do with your chances of getting employed by IT giants like Google and Amazon. All you need is a good knowledge of data structures and algorithms and a passion for computer science.

MIT Manipal is a well-reputed college amongst IT companies in general so you shouldn't worry about job opportunities in the IT sector at least. You can apply to these IT giants through portals like Google Careers, etc., and also participate in competitions like Google Code Jam, Facebook Hacker Cup, ICPC, etc, You can also contribute to various open source projects through GSOC, etc. 

So it's safe to conclude that there is no dearth of opportunities at MIT Manipal and you are likely to end up in companies like Google and Facebook by applying off campus.

Is the Manipal Institute of Technology as good as BITS Hyderabad or Goa?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.

MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.

  • MIT Manipal has great placements for CS branches but below average for other branches. 
  • BITS also has a better environment for extracurricular activities and social development clubs. The campus life at Manipal is at par with BITS Goa. 
  • Location is another factor Manipal gives an edge to BITS. It’s a university town and you get to interact with students from 25 different colleges. 
  • The coding culture in all the BITS is unmatched and the faculty pool is also better. 
  • The quality of students at BITS is better because its entrance exam BITSAT is more difficult than MU OET, the Manipal entrance exam. This ensures a more filtered crowd.

So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.

Should I prefer IIIT Guwahati and IIIT Bhubaneswar above MIT, Manipal for the ECE branch?

NS
Nimrit Sharma Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Bachelors of Technology in Computer Science, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati (IIITG) (Graduated 2022)

If you are looking for an ECE branch, you may want to consider IIIT Guwahati over IIIT Bhubaneswar and MIT Manipal. IIIT Guwahati is an Institute of National Importance and is centrally funded, while IIIT Bhubaneswar is a state-funded institute and MIT Manipal is a private institute.

IIIT Guwahati has been making significant improvements in terms of infrastructure and placements every year. In contrast, IIIT Bhubaneswar seems to have reached a saturation point with no significant increase in placement or campus facilities.

Moreover, the faculty at IIIT Guwahati encourages research at the undergraduate level. Many seniors have already started researching on AI, ML, cybersecurity, and communication as early as the 3rd semester. This could be an excellent opportunity for students who are interested in research.

Additionally, all the laboratories at IIIT Guwahati are open to access for students who wish to work on personal projects, subject to administration permission, which is easy to obtain. This could be helpful for students who want to gain practical experience beyond the coursework.

In conclusion, if you are interested in pursuing ECE, IIIT Guwahati could be an excellent choice due to its status as an Institute of National Importance, centrally funded status, improving infrastructure and placement record, faculty support for research at the undergraduate level, and open laboratory access.

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

NS
Naveen Singhal Posted On : April 29th, 2021
Studies Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Manipal Institute Of Technology (2022)

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:

Highest Package

13 LPA

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.

What is the better option between IIIT Vadodara and MIT, Manipal?

AM
Akshat Mehta Posted On : June 19th, 2021
CSE, IIIT Vadodara, 2021

If you want to either choose between CSE or IT, then going for IIIT Vadodara will be a better option. IIIT Vadodara is a government-run institute, while MIT Manipal is a private university.

  • However, IIIT Vadodara cannot provide you with the same facilities as MIT Manipal can, since it is a newly developed institute and is at present running on a temporary campus. Yet, it has shown noticeable changes in its development. The curriculum precisely concentrates on subjects that are related to either CSE or IT.
  • Now, when talking about the fee structure of each institute, MIT Manipal has almost double the fees as opposed to IIIT Vadodara, since it is a private university.
  • Moreover, the average package at IIIT Vadodara has also seen a potential hike to around 6.5 Lacs in the year 2019 from 4 Lacs in the year 2017. It was its first placement session. However, the average package at MIT Manipal is nearly about 5.5 to 6 Lacs.

Here is a brief highlight of both of the institutes according to the 2020 placement reports.

Institute
