Manipal Institute of Technology

Hello Adhyant,
It is of course very nice to see that the dream of your son is to become an astronaut. However, one must look at the ground realities of our dreams. Invariably no country will select nationals from other countries to become astronauts. Hence, your son cannot become astronaut in America or Russia or China only the three countries at the moment or even from other countries whose nationals Russia has trained and sent in space as astronauts like the Indian astronaut who was sent aboard Russian vehicle. Now, which qualification will make you an astronaut is a very difficult to answer. It all depends on the requirement. It could be a pilot, it could be a specialist in some branch of science, or it could be an engineer also. But, becoming an aeronautical engineer will not necessarily help you in becoming an astronaut. It all will depend on how much money Indian government wants to spend on putting an Indian astronaut in space aboard our own vehicle and what criteria ISRO decides. I, personally feel that they will invariably plump for and aviator or a fighter pilot from the Indian Air Force, as they are already medically fit. But, it would be the call of ISRO only. In view of this I would recommend that your son should do whatever course he feels is the best for him or which he fascinates.
Best wishes.

Placements : I cannot talk about the placements because I am in the second year, but placements are improving especially for my branch, and the faculty is very helpful. The best placements still good to CS people, and many companies like Medicine international, Philips come to my branch for recruitment.
Infrastructure : Manipal has one of the best infrastructures in the country. I think it puts many IITs, NITs, and many of its competitors to shame when it comes to the infrastructure. A world-class sports arena, grounds, classrooms, labs, and hostels are available in the college. If you can name it, Manipal the most probably has it.
Faculty : The faculty of the college is very good and is very interactive as long as you are active .
4.8 Manipal Institute of Technology- worth the money or not?

Placements : The placements in our college grow up to high percentages. We have a very good placement officer. Last year, approximately 500 students were placed. The core companies demand an aggregate of 75% in our higher semesters with no backlogs. There are a lot of MNCs that visit our college for placements. Our placement officer is trying to get more core companies to the campus so that the students can have better and bigger opportunities. The salaries depend on the companies.
Infrastructure : Manipal Institute of Technology is a huge empire which has various buildings for administration, class, and extra-curricular activities. .
4.2 A good enough college to teach you engineering as well as the way to live your life.
