5Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

My honest review about my college.

Placements: Truly speaking, if you go to IIT, you never going to see 30% placement in civil, and the ones placed actually booked for toppers, it happens same as in my college. But at my time, there were more than 450 companies that came and almost 80% placement in that year from our college (core and non-core both guys). Its a dumb thing if you think this was great as non-core was just waste which I think since I always have a passion for engineering. Did my internship in college itself under my faculty members. It was truly amazing and exciting as I had never felt.

Infrastructure: Hostels were much better compared to other colleges in the infrastructure and the kind of facilities provided. There were enough rooms to fit in all the students plus all options were available single (AC/non-AC) and double (AC/non-AC). Hostels were not so bad, they were above average. Charges for the hostels were Rs 6,000 per year and for mess Rs 2,300 per month.

Faculty: I could bet on the fact that Khalsa has one of the most amazing faculty for English honors and as for the course. I think everyone will agree to the fact that literature was the most interesting subject to study because it not only helps you understand. Course was too necessary for me because I wanted to become a lecturer, and M.A. had the minimum demand for it. My teachers were highly qualified and professional. They always supported us.

Review of master's in digital marketing at Manipal.

Placements: There are very few students who got placed by campus placements. Most students searched using resources like LinkedIn and previous work experiences. A couple of students were placed from the campus interview. The assistance for the same was provided and the faculty did put in the effort.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and the hostels are better than international standards. The mess food is also great, but repetitive at times. The medical facilities are also great. We were allowed to get RTPCR done multiple times free of cost. Both our hostels are beautiful, one being very homey and the other being a modern luxury hotel.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are experienced and industry professionals. But we had quite a few classes online. So we couldn't make use of the facilities available. The exams are taken on tablets. We were also encouraged to take notes and pdfs on iPads and laptops. We cut the use of paper making our course pretty much paperless.

Other: The exposure and the crowd are amazing. Manipal is know for its fest, sadly couldn't experience them due to covid.
