    It has good campus life. But there is a lot of favoritism going on
    Placements: The percentage of students getting placed is about 40 students in each class, with there being only 2 classes, section A and section B. There is only one package in our course but you get to choose later in the following years. There are a lot of popular recruiters like the big companies of India like Swiggy, Amazon has also hired students from our college.
    Infrastructure: Labs over here are fine. Hostel Wi-Fi is horrible, I come all the way to college to use the Wi-Fi. Hostels are average over here but I'm pretty sure that they are better than other colleges which offer much more worse. The mess is pretty decent over here as I have heard, it's much more better than other colleges. There are a lot of club activities over here so feel free to join anything.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. But their values are very hypocritical comparing to what they teach. I actually wanted to change my course mid way but in the same institute. They were very hesitant at first but then I found out that they are lazy to make changes.
    Other: The campus is amazing. It has good vibes. Definitely it is a place to visit.

    Good infrastructure and staff. Manipal has a great student population and really nice student life.
    Placements: In the year 2022, 60% of students applied for placements and all got placed either through the college or from some other source. The lowest package would be for a copywriter around 20,000-30,000 monthly. The highest package would be for a marketing professional or a film maker which could exceed 3-4 Lacs per month. Schbang, Genisis, Dentsu, Social Panga and alot of other big names in the industry are some of the recruiting companies for MIC.
    Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi all around the campus, the hostels have tv room, game rooms, table tennis, carrom and alot of other activities for students to take a break. There is biometric check in and frequent checks from the caretakers for any illicit activities or ragging/bullying. The cantene food is very tasty and healthy as it is veg and non veg.
    Faculty: Trained and teachers who are friendly and knowledgeable about their curriculum and syllabus which they have to teach the students who are in manipal institute of communication. Syllabus is very relevant and very interesting as well. The semester exams are a breeze if your prepared obviously, alot of material to read but very interesting.

    Great infrastructure excellent exposure with a perfect crowd and college experience.
    Placements: The placements are not done yet. Like a good percentage of people have got placed. I'm giving a mid score cause there are no companies related to video production coming. All the companies are from Ad and PR. Which is great for a lot of people as many are interested in that. It's unfair to people who are looking for some in video production. Schbang and Genesis are some top companies that have come .
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good. There is equipment for everything. There is good amount of computers and Mac's for Editing Design and Animation. There's a running radio station in the campus. If you have good grades you get a really good hostel rooms too. There are no complaints for hostel and it's very active with lot of activities going on every day.
    Faculty: The curriculum is very well defined and perfect for our course. There's important Communication subjects in the first year then from second year onward you get to choose electives according to your choice. Some teachers are good and put effort in teaching but some just don't take classes properly.
