Absolutely satisfied and would recommend it to passionate students.

Placements: Many students get placed. It depends on your skills and experience for this course. You have to read news and related material. Top companies that recruit include Reuters, the TOI Group, etc. Internships are offered, and CNN/BBC placements range from 5 LPA to 7 LPA.

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...
