If you want to seriously study then come.

Placements: The placement of college was good and career development center provides many platforms to explore students ideas in different fields. They provide some training courses in college. Internship was compulsory for 1 year in your own college and it pays a good stipend. You could go for internships in other colleges too. You study well and then go ahead and open a clinic or go for further studies. There were other options too. .

Infrastructure: Campus life was excellent. Students were friendly. Good for students who came from far to study. Manipal Health Science Library was one of the largest libraries in asian. They had amazing online portals that you can easily access books journals and various resources online. They had the widest range of books available.

We have good sports activities we have event Denta Thala each year where various sports like badminton basketball and football were held inter MAHE intercollege sports events.

The course was very unique and had good scope.

Placements: Placement and job opportunities were provided as soon as the onset of the courses. The best packages in very good and highly ranked companies, which recruited students on their visit to the campus. Placement teachers were at their toes to involve and engage more students with the job opportunities available. They provided internships for the said courses in their concerned medical institutions for about 4–6 months, and after completing the same. Project work was given to students, which had to be submitted after successful completion.

Infrastructure: The campus was vibrant, full of energy. They provided everything a student could ask for. Infrastructure was world-class. It had modern classrooms, air-conditioned auditoriums, Wi-Fi-enabled buildings, smart boards, and advanced labs. Every block was well maintained. They designed to make learning comfortable and practical. The library was one of the biggest strengths. Along with thousands of books, e-journals, and research papers covering almost every domain. There were online library portals where students could access digital materials anytime. The university had great sports facilities, including, a large stadium, gymnasium, swimming pool, and an indoor games complex.

Faculty: Faculty members were good. They were highly educated and experienced. The course was slightly unique and new, so faculty members dealt with it seriously.

Really good college life and infrastructure.

Placements: Around 85-90% of students get placed every year. For CS-related branches, placements often exceed 95%. Major recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Deloitte, Accenture, Infosys, Bosch, etc. Common job roles include software engineers, data analysts, consultants, business analysts, etc. The highest package is 50-60 LPA, with an average of 11 LPA.

Infrastructure: The labs are awesome, with modern infrastructure; everything is functional, and the classrooms are cozy. The library is very quiet and contains many books. For Wi-Fi access, you need the administrator's permission. To mention the canteens, it is such a pleasurable mess in Manipal. The food tastes, ohh, not like home but also not less than it.

Faculty: Teachers are very friendly. No doubt they will help you a lot when you need them. You just have to be respectful, and boom, they are always ready to help you. The curriculum is mostly outdated, somewhat between industry-ready and not. To mention the exams, they are tough. They are really tough.

Other: I chose the college course because I liked every part of it. Manipal provides the best college experience you could ever imagine in a private college. To be more precise about my course, I chose it because it was the only CSE course I was taking. Otherwise, I would have had to take ECE. I am loving it now. Campus life is fire. You would love it. Probably the best campus life in India, even better than IITs.
