Good infrastructure and helpful faculty.

Placements: I completed my M.Sc. (Geology) course last year. Although the placement opportunities in this field were very hard to get, our college was doing a tremendous job in this matter. A good number of geological companies come to our college every year. A good number of students from my class got campus placement with an average salary of 8 LPA. Almost every one of my classmates got internships during our course.

Awesome infrastructure with good faculty.

Placements: Placement opportunities for a Geology student are usually minimal. In our batch, most of my friends got campus placements in reputed mining companies and GIS companies. A few opted for government jobs after completing their studies. They got a good package with good roles in these companies. The internship opportunity is also good at this college.

The infrastructure is top-notch. Placements are getting better.

Placements: In our college, last year's placements were higher than before, but since most students' parents already own businesses, they started working there. The highest package is 28 LPA, and the lowest is 3.5 LPA. Deloitte is the top recruiter. All students go for internships. The top role offered is a manager.

The campus and infrastructure are good. The hostels are well maintained.

Placements: Placements and job opportunities for a Geologist are usually minimal. But in our batch of 2006, most of my friends got campus placements in reputed mining companies and GIS companies. A few opted for government jobs after completing their studies. So, campus placement was okay at that time.

It's a beautiful place to study with so much nature in and around Manipal.

Placements: Placements were very good in our college as the training and placement department. They helped students prepare for internships. They also keep us updated about all the internships and placement opportunities. They also helped us get training. Even if we did not get placements, it also offered networking with many tech technologies in most of the communities. So that we could actually get placed off-campus with the help of the network that this college provided.

Our college provides paid internships, placement training, GD, communication training, and soft skills to help students. Siddharth, Microsoft, Indian Smart, and Pizza Hut provide development training with industrial experience and knowledge. It helps to increase the quality and efficiency of students.
