Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum kind of changes every semester its not consistent at all, and we as students find it quite annoying as the basis of evaluation keeps changing, for example the examination period is not fixed sometimes the exams are finished within a week and one semester it was 2 exams in one day which was quite stressful
Internships Opportunities
Companies like Goldman Sachs, Uber, Microsoft, DE Shaw came recently giving internship opportunities through online tests, they picked 4-5 students with stipend of Rs 150000 and close 200000 depending on the company, students had to submit their projects and Cvs for the interview phase once the online Test was cleared
Placement Experience
Compared to other private colleges in India, I think Manipal might have one of the best if not the best placement rate, students become eligible for placement from 7th semester, big mncs Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw coke frequently to our campus, average package is around 11 Lpa and maximum package is around 60Lpa, in my branch 82% of students were placed last year
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees for first year was 325000, and second year onwards the fees structure depends on the course you take, I took Information Technology and my fees was 509000 as for all other branches the fees was more or less the same
Campus Life
In my opinion the social life here in Manipal is on par with all top colleges in India, as it is well known for it's networking and strong alumni and their contact with students. There are frequent events in the college like 'Revels' our annual event in which we invite big personalties and singers.
Admission
I took 2 entrance exams and I scored quite decent in first one and in the second attempt I had a miserable performance quite likely because the exam centre was 400 km from my home so I was very out of place, the exam was 3 hours long containing English Maths Chemistry qnd Physics as subject, the admission process was very lengthy I guess that's true for all engineering colleges, I didn't have any benefits as I'm from general category,
Faculty
The faculty members are quite qualified in their respective domains, I talked to a few teachers and their research projeccts and they seem pretty ambitious and well versed in their subjects, we are free to interact with faculty members during the day till the classes end
