The Manipal Guide

The faculty are helpful and the timetable is very student friendly with enough time to pursue personal activities. The student ratio is good and each teacher gives enough attention to each student. The faculty is well qualified for their roles.

The placement is pretty decent with many big-name companies like Amazon, and Microsoft and mass recruiters like Infosys, etc. offering opportunities for students to work under them. The highest international package was 1.1 CR Per Annum and the domestic being somewhere around 50L Per Annum. Some students even pursue higher studies after completing their degree in India or Foreign Universities.

The fee structure is very transparent, though it is a bit costly for a middle-class family. There are plenty of scholarship opportunities if you top your branch or top the college at the end of the first year and also if you have a rank below 100 all your fees for 4 years is free and for under 5000 there is a 25% scholarship.

The campus life is very pleasant and lively with events being held regularly by different clubs or by ZOLO. The social life outside of the college is vibrant with many places to explore like beaches and waterfalls. And since people from different parts of the country come to study here nearly all festivals are celebrated.

The hostel facilities are good with all the basic amenities and daily cleaning of washrooms and alternate day cleaning of rooms and there are options for you to choose from ac rooms to non-ac-rooms, single to sharing, etc. The meal quality is decent with a menu being provided for the whole week including variety of different foods from different messes to choose from.

It was pretty smooth. I had to give a CBT exam the MET Test and based on the score ranks given its marking scheme was +4 for each correct answer and -1 for wrong for the MCQs and there was no going back to the previous question or section. It also had a number-based answer section and consisted of 4 sections Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and English. There is some reservation for NRI students but they have to pay a higher fee.
