Colleges in Manipal

No. They do not have any management quota. Only two categories - general category, admissions of which are based on the ranking obtained by the student in the entrance exam conducted by Manipal University and the other is foreign/NRI category, where admissions are direct based on merit as per the marks/grades obtained in the qualifying examination (10+2 or equivalent exam) for MBBS and for all other courses on a first come basis if the candidate meets the eligibility requirements.

MIT Manipal's mechanical department is excellent and its brand value is higher, therefore you are recommended to opt for it.

IHM Aurangabad is really good, if you get it, then opt for that else go for welcome group

Dear Ashwin,
SOM-manipal is better option than Chetana, in terms of placements, exposer, and faculties. so yes you should go for SOM manipal.
All the very best

It is a very good option among non IIT/NIT options.

You'll get Biotechnology or Biomedical.

Both the branches here are equally good teaching wise. The mechanical department is bigger though and has higher intake and more faculty. For both branches we have well equipped labs and quite knowledgeable professors. Placements is better for Mechanical since it's a more sought after branch.
