My honest review of my college.

Placements: Truly speaking, if you go to IITs, you will never see 30% placement in Civil. The one placed actually booked for toppers, it happens the same as in my college. At my time, there were 450+ companies that came. Almost 80% of students were placed in that year from our college in both core and non-core. It's a dumb thing, if you think this is great, as non-core is just waste, which I think, since I always have a passion for engineering.

Kinda okay and kinda not okay.

Placements: Placements here are pretty average because there’s no support from the university. A few of our lecturers help with placements for some students, while the rest have to find jobs by themselves. The highest package that someone has received is around 9 LPA.

Review of Manipal Academy of Higher Education.

Placements: The alumni network of Manipal Institute is quite solid. We do get a bunch of internship and placement opportunities based on alumni recommendations, but one of the major recommendations is for IT sector companies like TCS, which offers internal communication internships and also gives a good stipend. At the end of the day, almost all students get placed primarily in IT, followed by FMCG and lastly, finance companies. Packages depend on the company; the highest is 10.4 LPA, the average package is...
