Manipal Institute of Technology MAHE Answered Questions

Companies like Hero, Tata, Mercedes, Toyota come for recruiting students of Automobile engineering.
50% of the students opting for automobile engineering go for further studies. Some students with higher gpa and other good records get placed in core companies. Many get placed in IT companies. Even many of the bright students get placed in IT. There could many reasons :
There are many many companies recruiting from MIT Manipal but the problem is what to choose, core company or IT company?
First of all take this very seriously, the life of an engineer at a production company is tough. I do not mean to scare you, but it is true, unfortunately. Its not like at the IT companies where you can get a lot of time and also a good city. However you will become a tough person gradually. So to answer the question that some of you guys have asked Which to prefer: IT company or core company?
If you want to join a core company for the money, youll be surprised! An IT company will give you a similar payout after 3-4 years and would also give you lot of options to witch companies and also other benefits. I suggest you join a core company if and only if you actually like Mechanical or automobile engineering! Else, you'll end up frustrated. Another reason you will join the core company is because you may not like sitting continuously for 8 hours.
The Core experience helps a lot for MS admissions to a good university abroad and getting a research project / research assistant position under a professor and getting a job after MS. They love it if you have any industry experience. The underline however is that the project should be related to your specialization during your Masters.
These points are all my personal experience, there may be some different experience with other people. Whichever you prefer, have a read about this article and plan, because this one decision will make your future live life, enjoy Manipal, party hard Sayonara

It was established in 1969 and is one of the oldest engineering branches in Manipal and has its reputation.
I can say that faculty is not 100% best, not more than 4 to 5 professors are good with their subjects. Professors are really good and are ready to help you. The course structure is pretty good and equivalent to BITS (HOD used to be from BITS).
Excellent chemical engineering laboratories - Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer and a State of the art Process Control lab. The computer lab equipped with all the engineering software - CAD, Aspen, Matlab.
Practice School Policy. Students can do their final year projects outside the institution like - CSIR labs, Honeywell etc.,
Coming to the important section placements if your goal is to get a job in service/IT industry then it's not a big deal. MIT doesn't have any sustainable relations with process industries so it's a challenge to find core chemical industries on the placement list. To my knowledge, these are the companies I've seen during my 4 years at Manipal:- Jindal Steels, Grasim textiles, Reliance, Mangalore refinery recruited students having 8 and above CGPA.

MIT-Manipal is well known for its vibrant academic and co-curricular scenario.
Though it charges a huge amount of fee, for undergraduates and hence provides world-class facilities.
When it comes to placements from computer science and communication engineering, they are exceptionally well and quality wise better future-oriented.
The highest salary offered in the respective stream is 23 Lacs per annum and around 10 Lacs per annum being the average from the recent years.
Students studying from Manipal finds a large scope and better job prospectives as witnessed by the students studying there.
Also, computer science and computer engineering is a wide era and one need not take much stress especially for the placement scenario. Most importantly the studies are must and the industry oriented preparations related to interview and screenings at the time of interview. Apart from that, one should have a thorough knowledge of the stream and a hardcore practice for programming skills. Hope it helped. Thank you!

If we talk about the number of companies which give placements to mechanical students are ABB, Accenture, ACG Worldwide, Agro Com, Anglo Eastern Shipping, Ashok Leyland, BCH, BEL, Bluestar, Centuri, Link, Cummins India Ltd, Deloitte, Essar, Future First, GMR Energy, HCL Core, Hero Motors, Honda Two Wheelers, Hero Motors Corporations, IBM, Indian Army, Infosys, Ingersol Rand, JSW, Kenna Metals, L& T, Mahindra & Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Michelin, Moog India, Mphasis, Mu Sigma, ONGC, Oracle, Punj Lloyd, Quest, Reliance, Tata Technologies, Tata Motors, TCE, TCS, TCE , Telcon, Tech Mahindra, Titan, Vedanta, WIPRO, WIPRO, W S Atkins, Zuari Cement. But on the other hand, if you ask the percentage than the things will go upside down just because the company only take those students who are fittest for the environment but make sure that the placements are not 90-100% as told by the college.
Moreover, still, for final decision ask one of the mechanical students who are currently there in college and know each and every thing about the campus placements.

Aeronautical engineering when regarding with placements is not good at Manipal University or most of the other universities in India either. You do not gain enough knowledge to work directly in a complex industry as aerospace industry. The average package for a few core companies is around 5 LPA for a fresher.

The total fee at Manipal University is around 4-5 lakhs. The academic fee may vary from 3-3.5 LPA while the accommodation fee depends of the choice of room and may vary from 80,000 to 1.35 lakhs which includes the caution deposit, mess fee and utilities.
