The class size at MIT Manipal is large, with 106 students per class, making classroom management challenging. Although most teachers are effective and accessible, some display discriminatory behavior towards North Indian students. Campus placements begin in the 7th semester, with a variable placement rate between 70% and 92.9%, and reports of up to 100% placement. The highest salary package in 2022 was 54.75 lakhs, with branches like CS or IT reaching up to 45 lakhs, and an average package of 10 lakhs per annum.

Core branches like Mechanical and Chemical have lower placement rates at around 50%. Internships start from the 5th semester, with companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Flipkart, offering stipends from 40,000 to 1.5 lakhs monthly. Internships generally require a minimum CGPA of 7. The college provides several scholarships and financial assistance options. Tuition and hostel fees can reach up to 4 lakhs per year, but students with ranks between 100-5000 in entrance exams receive a 20% tuition fee discount, while those ranked under 100 get a full tuition waiver.

There are 10-12 scholarships available, including a Konkani scholarship with a 10% fee waiver, and aid for underprivileged and SC/ST students. Families with incomes under 8 lakhs per annum are eligible for a reduced fee of 7 lakhs for four years. First-year fees are 3.3 lakhs, and subsequent years vary by branch. Despite high fees, strong placement rates with an average package of 10 LPA help in loan repayment, especially for CS/IT students.

A detailed review of MIT by MIT student itself

Dislikes

The criculam and the teaching methods. Though it's same everywhere but you expect better from a collage who is on the level of NIT'S but that's not the case here. You will find professor reading from slides like every other college.

Talking about fees it's a bit expensive here as it is considered one of the most expensive college in Whole India. My total fees is around 16.9 lakhs for 4 year but it will increase year on year and different courses have different fees. Talking about scholarship there are many but only if your are an above average student such as Fee waiver scholarship where the top 100 ranks of this exam will be waived off their full fees other than that Their is achiver scholarship in which your 20% fees will be covered if you are eligible. There are people who take out loans to study here because placements rate are good here. If your are opting for a CS or IT related branch then you have easily payback it since the average package here is 10 LPA.

Manipal - It is Everything

The fees are a little high as MIT is a private university with tuition and hostel fees of a year going up to 4lakhs but there are scholarships available for bright students like those who secured a rank between 100-5000 get 20% concession in tuition fees and those with under 100 rank get 100% concession in tuition fees.
