    This is the best college ever.
    Placements: There was no placement for the Masters course in the college, but companies gave us good recognition for offering well-paid jobs. Hotel Management students got amazing opportunities through college placement. Internship offers from various recognized hospitals for our course were great. We gained good experience during our internship. The college had tie-ups with many hospitals, so finding internships was not a difficult task; however, no incentives were given to the interns.
    Infrastructure: Study environment in the college was excellent. We had all the facilities, including well-equipped classrooms, a kitchen, labs, a library, college offices, and an auditorium, etc. The college campus was kept clean and hygienic. The toilets were of star hotel standards, but ours were also very dirty.
    Faculty: Faculty members are kind and caring. They are very understanding and well-equipped with knowledge about their subjects. They are generous, yet they ensure that we complete all our assignments on time. The teaching faculty made the subjects really easy for us to understand. They were really kind to help us with our major research projects. Moreover, they were fun and entertaining.

    The college has good infrastructure, good placements, and good space.
    Placements: The PG students get a lot of companies, and their average package is 6 LPA, I believe. Last year, the highest package was 20 LPA, which a girl got from Vedantu during college placements. Placements apparently have taken a toll after COVID. For UG students, there are fewer opportunities, and the average package for us was 3.5 LPA.
    Infrastructure: The MIC campus feels like a resort when you enter, but inside the four walls, you get AC classrooms, a radio studio, a TV studio, computer labs, Mac labs, and more. The Mahe campus, which MIC also has access to, is 500 meters away and has multiple food courts, mess, stalls, etc. The student plaza is the cherry on the cake as it just brings everyone close. Hostels are world-class level. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. There are different indoor and outdoor grounds for various sports. The library is good, it is always open.
    Faculty: Everybody definitely knows their subjects and has an abundance of knowledge about the course, but a few of them do not know how to teach. The course is extensive and covers a wide range of subjects, which I really liked. However, the syllabus of certain subjects, I feel, added no value. Certain information in the syllabus is just useless and can be replaced with important information.

    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 5.2 LPA and the lowest is 3.6 LPA. But getting a job in our core field is difficult.
    Infrastructure: The institute is situated in a scenic location and is also close to a road, which is very useful. Classroom and hostel distance is greater; it is better to buy a bicycle for travel. There are many festivals organized in hostels; that's why day scholars can not enjoy that events. Our campus gives huge value to sports as it offers so many sports such as football, basketball cricket, etc. Our campus organizes tournaments every month, and we have a variety of clubs that help students study. Also, the college library has big digital boards, projectors, and classrooms with comfortable seating. Honestly, hostels are not affordable to middle-class students, but the food is tasty and hygienic.
    Faculty: Our university is 7th in cleanliness and teaching. Teachers prove that they are very helpful; they have done research in subjects like media and literature. Teachers have in-depth knowledge about their subjects. The course structure is well planned, and they always make minor changes. All internal and external exams are done through the e-pad system so no one can cheat. Also, exams are so strict.
    Other: Manipal is famous for events and activities; the crowd here includes students from all Indian states, and scholarships are based on merit and income.

    It is a really very good college.
    Placements: Our college is known for its placements. Every year, hundreds of companies come to our college for recruitment. Last year, the placement rate was above 70 percent in our course. Top recruiting companies are the BBC Group, India Today, CNN, etc. These companies offer an average package of INR 10 LPA. For internships, colleges collaborate with some companies to provide internships for students.
    Infrastructure: The campus is lush and beautiful. The infrastructure of our course is world-class. Practical classes are very interactive here. Libraries are always well-stocked. Facilities for hostels are available on campus with an affordable feel. The rooms are also well maintained. Food in a mess is awesome. Grounds are available to play games like football, cricket, etc.
    Faculty: According to me, teachers are very knowledgeable here. Teaching methodology is unique here. They take doubt classes every week. Teachers are helpful and supportive. The course curriculum is very practical here. If you want to score well, then you have to study hard. The passing percentage was 75 percent last year.
    Other: I want to become a journalist, so I chose this course.
