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 The curriculum is mostly outdated, somewhat between industry-ready and not.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.

Good infrastructure and supportive environment.
Placements: Top roles are in many kinds of courses like MBA, BBA, engineering, and MNC companies come and take campus interviews, so it’s pretty good. In the healthcare aspect, Kasturba Hospital gives the best medical training for students in nursing, physio, and many others.
Infrastructure: Amazing infrastructure and Wi-Fi is all good. The library is really helpful and quite huge. The hostel is also nice, well maintained and managed, with good decency in keeping the curfew time, and the canteen is also nice with good quality of food. Other facilities include a sports complex.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified, explain each concept in detail, and help in understanding of the child for their future aspect. There’s a value in getting your degree from Manipal Academy of Higher Education, whether it’s in healthcare, engineering, or commercial.

Great infrastructure, good college life, and few placements.
Placements: I joined thinking the placements at MSCE would be good, but the opportunities that came in are scarce and of no value. This is something I expected from such a big university. There is no placement that comes for the course I am studying in, and this had me apply off-campus.
Infrastructure: Hostel facility and classes provided all have ACs. The hostel has laundry facilities on each floor, ensuring convenience. Apart from this, you could opt for an AC room, which really helps with the humid climate. No complaints about the mess food, it is really hygienic and well-prepared.
Faculty: The exams are all based on what we studied in class, with little challenge, so in a way, it’s not tough to get a great GPA. All the taught subjects are based on the teacher, as some crucial subjects are taught in very little depth and based on the convenience of the teacher.

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.

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.
