On Ranking Highlight

Q: What makes the corporate placement approach unique when comparing BTech at Manipal Academy of Higher Education with other colleges?

Q: Should a BTech aspirant choose Manipal Academy of Higher Education or engineering colleges located in Bangalore?

Manipal Academy of Higher Education BTech stands out for its immersive, residential hostel life. Bangalore colleges like RVCE or BMS have a location advantage because they sit right inside India's tech hub. This makes finding local weekend internships slightly easier. However, Manipal provides a superior, self-contained campus culture alongside stellar placements.

Overall, a good college, but there are areas for improvement. Placements are good and stable.

Placements: Placement rate is 100%. The highest package is 32 LPA. The lowest is 10 LPA. The average package is 16 LPA. EY, Deloitte, and Accenture are top recruiting companies. 100% of students get internships. Top roles offered are management and consulting positions. A lot of finance roles are offered too.

Infrastructure: The hostel is good, and the infrastructure is amazing. The mess is okay, but there are a lot of other options for food. The library is close by, and group and individual study spaces are available. Wi-Fi is decent. There are twin-sharing rooms with attached washrooms. Housekeeping is available every alternate day.

Faculty: Some professors are bad, some are okay, and some are good. It is a mixed lot. Faculty selection process could be a lot better. The course curriculum is relevant. There are subjects like Python Programming and IT as well. The semester exams are moderately difficult.

Other: I chose this course because I don't have to write CAT again. I wish they had better faculty. The college events are mid at best. They should work on them, but MAHE fests are amazing.

Moderate, decent college. A good choice if you don't intend to write CAT later on.

Placements: Placement rate is 100%. The highest package is 32 LPA. The lowest is 10 LPA. The average is 16 LPA. EY, Deloitte, and Accenture recruit students. There are 100% management positions and internship opportunities, specifically in roles such as sales and managerial positions. I think TAPMI placements can be better, but they are not that bad to begin with.

Infrastructure: The hostels are good. The infrastructure is good. The food is decent. Surroundings are good. There are a lot of things to do nearby. It is fun and engaging. There are a lot of extracurricular activities on the TAPMI campus, such as football, basketball, volleyball, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are honestly not that great. We do have some excellent teachers, but that is only around 10–15% of the faculty. We also have a decent amount of visiting faculty. Exam-wise, there is a lot of confusion because we are expected to collaborate with the TAPMI Bengaluru campus, which leads to confusion in the syllabus. The exams are not hard to pass. However, faculty grading can be different sometimes, which may lead to getting lower marks.

Other: I chose this course so that I can have the security option of having TAPMI as a backup. I would improve the faculty and the activities to do within TAPMI. We have events, but they are not that great.

Good college overall but not value for money because of low placement stats.

Placements: Placements for ECE are good, with over 85% of students securing placements in recent years. The average package is around 6-7 LPA, with top offers reaching around 20 LPA+. Students also choose software roles in addition to core electronics jobs. Recruiters include Microsoft, Intel, and Samsung. However, off-campus placements are quite impressive.

Infrastructure: The ECE department has modern laboratories for embedded systems, communication, VLSI, and microprocessors. Classrooms are well-equipped with teaching facilities. The campus has high-speed Wi-Fi, innovation centres, and a large central library. Hostel rooms are available in different categories. They vary from shared non-AC rooms to single AC rooms. They are clean and well-maintained with laundry services. Mess food is very decent, with multiple food courts available across the campus.

Faculty: ECE department has experienced faculty members who are knowledgeable and supportive, especially when students show interest in projects or research. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Students who attend classes regularly and prepare consistently usually perform well. Evaluation is fair, maintaining a high CGPA requires continuous effort throughout the semester. It's not a matter of just starting the night before the exam.

Good hostels and infrastructure however not that good placement.

Placements: Placements at the campus are decent, especially for students from CSE. Almost 75 to 80 percent of the eligible students usually got placed, and the average package is around 9 LPA-11 LPA for CSE and close to that for ECE. Top offers by the companies are above 50 LPA. Most of the top-tier companies or top tech companies hiring are Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. The lowest package offered is around 4 LPA to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are modern and well maintained with smart boards and good seating arrangements. Labs are equipped with the latest hardware and software. Wi-Fi (iBus) is available across the campus 24/7, and the central library is actually very good. Food is decent with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options separately. There are plenty of food courts across the campus, and medical services are available 24/7 through KMCH Hospital.

Faculty: The faculty at the campus is generally very experienced and very qualified. Most of the teachers are Ph.D. and highly professional. The curriculum is updated regularly, every 2 years the syllabus is completely changed according to the new tech fields and industry exposure. Although most of the things are delayed on the campus, which is actually a setback for the students, overall things are quite well. Exams are also good and are not very difficult to pass if you study or listen in class well.

Good if you want a hill life and can afford it.

Placements: For placements, highest CTC was 68 LPA. The average CTC was 12 LPA. The median CTC was 9 LPA. For internships, the average monthly stipend was Rs. 38,000, and the median stipend was Rs. 30,000. These were the statistics shown to me during the 2025 orientation. I do not have much idea about this year. The placement offers and opportunities were satisfactory.

Infrastructure: Facilities, infrastructure, and amenities are really good. The campus has vending machines in both the academic and hostel blocks. Wi-Fi is available only in the hostels and not in the academic blocks. The speed limit is around 2 Mbps. There are two mess options available. The food quality is above average compared to many other hostels. The campus also provides excellent sports facilities. It includes a cricket pitch, turfs, a football ground, basketball courts, badminton courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, and pickleball courts. They all of which are available free of cost.

Faculty: Professors are mostly helpful. Teaching style is as expected. It is mainly involving PPT presentations and explaining the content already written on the slides. They do clarify concepts if you have doubts. As for whether the curriculum is relevant or not, honestly, I do not know. However, compared to some other private universities, I would say it is alright. Most of the learning depends on the student's self-study. The exams have a moderate to high level of difficulty because of the relative grading system.

Other: The Wi-Fi speed and quality should be improved, along with the network connectivity, especially in the hostels. Soft drinks should be sold on campus. Energy drinks should be allowed inside the campus, as they are currently banned. The events are fun, though, and definitely worth it.

Amazing facilities, great faculty, and student life.

Placements: From what I've heard from seniors, placements are decent, with most students getting tech jobs. Few opt for core roles. Students who opt to pursue a Master's degree are excluded from the placement pool, and so are those who get placed through an off-campus internship.

Infrastructure: This college offers some of the best facilities for both coursework and extracurricular activities. They are always supportive of student projects and have recently built modern workshops for each project. This is one of the very few colleges that offer livable hostels in India. The ECE department is equipped with modern labs for pretty much all fields in electronics.

Faculty: Professors are knowledgeable in their respective fields. They are always willing to assist with research opportunities. Although exams can be a bit challenging, the curriculum is updated to meet industry trends.

Other: Manipal is a town that revolves around the needs of students. So the campus is always vibrant and buzzing with life. Revel, the cultural fest, is always something to look forward to throughout the year.
