- Infrastructure is amazing. Faculty is a two sided coin. Some are good, some are bad. It’s based on pure luck who you you get. Campus life is amazing if you make it amazing. The campus is so huge and diverse and people from so many walks of life. Find your people and trust me you will have tears in your eyes after those 4 years and wonder if you will ever live days like these again.
- The most amazing part of this college is the travel options around it. Goa is 4 hours away. You have places like Coorg, chickmanglir, Bangalore etc. parties are really great here. Place is very very inclusive to LGBTQIA people. And it has a very welcoming environment
Dislikes
- Faculty can be better. We need more hostel blocks and renovate the old blocks to proper standards. One thing I dislike is the CGPA criteria for hostel allotment. Better CGPA means better room. That should be removed
- Hostel perm time is useless when there is a gate perm time. I find this extremely redundant
Remarks :
They have an excellent mechanical branch with well qualified professors. The academic section and some rules can be a little over the top and unnecessary but even apart from that the curriculum is pretty good and gives you an edge on masters applications. You have opportunities in every corner and something for everyone. It’s a vast and diverse place. I mainly came for their Formula Student Team which I was a part of and it truly was one of the best experiences of my life.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Getting marks is tough. Exams are tough if you do last minute prep, but if you are used to studying regularly you can easily top. The course is a little tough but nothing over the top. It fully depends on which electives you take. My advice would be not to take the really tough ones as they affect your CGPA (speaking from experience).
Internships Opportunities :
So many opportunities available. Even within college, outside college. Few of my friends got internship opportunities in ISRO, HAL etc. Even apart from that you can reach out to the very very vast alumni network and they will for sure reach out to you.
Placement Experience :
Get a good CGPA you will get good placements. Don’t get backlogs. It’s very very easy to get them. But try not to. If you sit for placements you will get. But the placement program is not as helpful as I would expect it to be
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
There are various scholarships offered. If you are within the top 10% of the batch you will get 80-90000Rs scholarship every year and apart from that if your family income is under 7 lakhs your fees comes to under 6 lakhs for the entire 4 years. If you are from the Konkan region you get additional scholarships. Apart from this there are various other scholarship options you can opt for. The tuition fees comes to around 17 lakhs for the entire 4 years. Overall expect to spend 25 lakhs on your 4 years of education including everything.
Campus Life :
Best campus and social life. Campus is super chill. PDA is not discouraged, yes you can talk to girls unlike some other colleges. Fests are really really fun. Nightlife in manipal is amazing. So many places to visit, the surrounding areas are some of the most beautiful parts of India. Do travel as much as you can when you are here.
Hostel Facilities :
I did live in hostel for about 2 years before moving out to live in a rented accommodation. I’ve heard it’s gotten stricter but it’s not too much. It’s very bearable. Mess food on the other hand is not something I would suggest. Downright horrendous. But campus life is great. It’s one of the most beautiful and well maintained campuses I’ve seen.

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.
