MIT BLR - A Comprehensive Review
Likes
- The college is diverse, good infrastructure, excellent sports and extra curricular amenities, good balance of fun and academics
- Placements are centralized with main manipal campus
Dislikes
- Faculty can be relatively new and inexperienced with many of them holding PhD and not used to teaching per se
- Ongoing Construction within the campus can cause a hindrance to few, and strict exams and hostel in times.
Remarks :
The entrance test for all Manipal colleges is the MET - Manipal Entrance Test. Good aspects include diversity in crowd, excellent and new amenities, good infrastructure, being a new campus, and good extra curricular activities. Bad aspects include lack of placement data , being a new college so there can be trust issues, and there is still parallel construction going on that can cause some minute hindrance. And the faculty in some cases is not up to standard in terms of teaching and presentation of topics. The admission is done only through MET ENTRANCE as mentioned, preparation is just JEE Mains syllabus which will suffice, cut -offs differ each year for each campus, with MIT Manipal receiving highest cutoffs, followed by MIT Bengaluru.
Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose my course since Cyber Security is an upcoming domain and has high scope in the future . The faculty is average to above average but concepts can be grasped . Teaching methods is through white board and ppt presentation, which is good. There is one mid term exam , quiz and assignment in between, and end semester examination too. Difficulty level is medium to hard , since Manipal is autonomous and is known for its quality of exams.
Internships Opportunities :
Internship opportunities provided are aplenty with IBM, Infosys, Goldman Sachs frequently looking for new interns from MIT BLR, and roles offered include Developer Roles, and Data Analyst roles. Projects can include making a website , pre training an AI model etc.
Placement Experience :
Placements usually begin with pre placement offers around the 2nd sem of the 3 rd year, and the 4th year devoted entirely to placements. Visited companies include Infosys, Microsoft, IBM, etc. , and placements are centralised with the main campus of Manipal in Udupi. Highest package isn't certain due to ongoing placement process but it can go upto 35-40 lpa and average can be around 10-12 lpa. Percentage of students getting placed differ batch to batch, with IT, CSE CORE getting the better share of offers. My plans after getting the degree would probably be to do MBA abroad or get placed in a good company.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
The tuition fee for Engineering is generally around 3,18,000 rupees and other academic fees are 1,91,000 rupees, and total course fees are 5,09,000 rupees. The one - time fee is 10,000 rupees usually - all for General Category. Total course fees for NRI / FOREIGN students is 14,100 USD. Management quota is not there in Manipal, it's always merit based.
Campus Life :
Campus life is one of the best experiences in Manipal. With excellent extra curricular facilities and amenities like gym, football field and basketball court, and many vibrant events organized by the management including dj nights, etc., campus life is never boring with always something to look forward to. Library is well established with ample books including those non academic related. Classroom amenities are aplenty including AC classrooms , and good desks. There are plenty clubs run by students including LitSoc, Photography Club, Endurance - The Sports Club and many more with engaging events for the students.
Hostel Facilities :
I was in the hostel in my first year, they are well furnished , new in condition, good infrastructure, Applying for hostels can be done through SLCM - Manipal's website. They are priced around 1.5 - 2 lakhs with triple sharing, double sharing as well as suite options, along with AC options. Mess quality is average to above average with special dishes served especially on weekends.

BSc Physics at Jain University
Course Curriculum Overview :
Faculties are well qualified and some of them are doing active research. However the college does not have a very active research environment but they do not hinder a student from taking up projects outside. They provide all support like recommendations, attendance permissions etc.
MSc Physics at Christ
Course Curriculum Overview :
All the faculties are well qualified and quite renowned in their research fields. However some of them have this quality of holding personal grudge and targeting. Some assume you know a lot and don't teach properly and expect more from the student. There is a lot of pressure even with internals, assignments and other things.
A review by a normal college student
Placement Experience :
For placement, The student shouldnt have any backlogs. There are companies that are stated as "Great Places to Work" as well as some startups that come for college recruitment. The highest package last year (2023) was 6000000, and the average package of the university is approximately 850000. A good percentage of people who opt for placements do get placed decntly. My plans after my BBA are writing GMAT and going for my MBA abroad in a good college.
