M.Sc. in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics - Batch of 2025

Offered by Manipal School of Life Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education

3.2

3Placements4Infrastructure3Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

It is a very unique course, but expensive.

Placements: Final semester students are eligible for placement. A maximum of 20 students, with 5 placements, and an average package offered is 6 LPA. 20% of students are searching for a job. Most students get jobs through off-campus, directly through an interview. There is no internship stipend. We have to pay and learn. We should finish one project and submit it before the completion of the course on our own. We can choose our own topic and submit the project, and they'll help us in each step.

Infrastructure: Hostel rooms at MUJ are of 3 types, single premium, deluxe, and double occupancy. It contains an attached washroom, two study tables with chairs, two single beds, and a side table. The meal quality is good, with a lot of different items available in the mess. Apart from that, there are 10+ eateries where one can sit and eat at own cost. Mess fees are different from hostel fees. An E-library option is also available. The classroom amenities are good. Smart boards are available in the classroom, and practical labs are well-equipped.

Faculty: The curriculum includes only important and useful topics, which is good as there are no unwanted things. This is the best curriculum. Students need a little more rest. The exam frequency and all are okay, not bad. Teachers and student ratio is 1:30. Rekha madam is a supportive staff member among all other staff members. I love all other faculty members. If we prepare well, it'll be easy. There are semester-wise exams, so yearly 2 semesters. It is 2 year course, so a total of 4 semesters.

B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering at MIT, MAHE, Manipal.

Placements: ABB, Altair Engineering, Aerx Labs, and Addverb Teach are mentioned recruiters in the field of aeronautical engineering. The mean package offered to aeronautical engineers is moderate, ranging from 5 to 7 LPA. The expected placement range is between 45 to 60%.

Infrastructure: The college management is highly oriented with students' ideas. It makes easier for students to connect with them. The management is well aware of its crucial responsibilities. The college has good networking, which helps students connect with higher professionals easily.

Faculty: Faculty members think from diverse perspectives because they are assigned a short period of time to cover the syllabus. Within such time, they ask us to write tests, teach lessons, and prepare students for examinations, which is usually a great deal for them.

4Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty3Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Good infrastructure, good curriculum.

Placements: The placement scene is quite good. Actually, once you get an internship, you are expected to work hard and convert that internship into a placement. However, placements are offered. Various companies come in the second year of M.Tech to offer placements. But yes, many companies prefer B.Tech over M.Tech. Salary range from about 4.2 Lacs PA to 7.5 Lacs PA. No. The college does not provide an internship. However, it facilitates internships which are offered by various companies such as Philips Lighting, Wipro, CG, etc. The stipend offered by these companies ranges between 15k and 20k per month.

Infrastructure: One of the best sets of hostels available in the country. There are various lodging options such as single seater room, twin sharing room, single seater with common batch, attached bathroom, dormitory, etc. The rooms are well ventilated, airy and regularly maintained. The classroom has a centralised AC with a projector and board. Almost all books are there in the library, and a wide collection of journals. There are a lot of clubs, almost for everything. There is great exposure to the outside world as everything from sports to gym, from the garden to the lakes, is nearby on the campus.

Faculty: The teachers are very well qualified and motivated. Many teachers here are pursuing their PhD in the field of Illumination, which makes learning from them even better. The course on Energy Auditing, Lighting system design, Building automation systems, etc., are courses that you will not find in many other engineering colleges. You are loaded with assignments and submissions, presentations, mini projects, etc. The exam structure is a continuous evaluation with 50 marks for the semester evaluation and 50 marks for the end semester evaluation.

Very good college, top-most college.

Placements: 5 students have been placed last year with a package of 7-9 LPA. I'm also planning to get a placement after I complete my degree. Last year, students were eligible for placements, but I don't know the names of the companies. I do know that they got into nice companies for sure. I haven't done an internship yet. But I'm going to do a summer internship. The department is providing companies where we can work as interns, like SSF, AMS, MORSEL, the Indian Institute of Sugarcane Research, etc.

Infrastructure: The hostel room comes with a bed and mattress, a study table and chair, an almirah, an attached bathroom and enough space for you to keep books and other things. The food quality provided is average. There is a 4 floored MIT Central Library with a large number of books as well as e-books. It also has an individual study hall, a group study hall and a library auditorium as well. Classrooms are full AC, with enough space and digital doors. There is a 6-floor Marina Sports Complex with a well-equipped gymnasium, squash courts, swimming pool, etc.

Faculty: Well-qualified faculty and study environment. As I said, the professors are well qualified and have a huge experience of core knowledge and have very fine knowledge of the concepts. You will find it easy to communicate, and there is no shyness in that. They are very supportive. They provide practical problems to enhance our knowledge to cope with interviews. There is no such difficult level in exams, I can say a medium difficulty level.

A good opportunity for a great start.

Placements: I am studying at MIT, Manipal, ECE, in my first year. As of now, it is a great start, and I talked to many seniors, to summarize, I can say 90% placement in core streams. 99% placements in CSE, but it depends on your hard work, whether you are going in list of students who are not placed, and ample opportunities are given for higher studies.

Infrastructure: I stay in hostel block 5, room is small, but comfortable and sufficient. Moreover, depending on how you study, you get a choice of rooms, like if you are studying really good you have plenty of options in rooms like AC, non-AC, single seater, double seater, triple seater. But if you are not studying good and your CGPA is low, you have fewer options in room or sometimes the worst option or even no options, but then all rooms are good, it depends upon your needs. There is free Wi-Fi too.

Faculty: All instructions are given clearly, and we also get a trial chance to do everything, like answering a question or doing something in the lab. Student-to-teacher ratio is great, such that we can spend even 2 hours with them in their cabins. We also have multiple teachers in same subject, so we have an option to go to whichever teacher we like to solve our doubts. Whole syllabus is set in a way such that you need not go for extra coaching for GATE or other higher education entrance exams.

Other: Campus crowd is not a thing to worry about, if you have seen the crowd in VIT.

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.
