Read Full ReviewFor taking admission into kasturba medical college Mangalore there is solely one way that is NEET entrance exam which is of 720 marks and scoring above 600 is considered good to get admission into this college. Since the competition has increased in the past years and this is one of most reputed college of India so the cut off usually remain on the higher side compared to other private colleges. I had prepared for the exam via online coaching as well offline classes. Good thing:- 1. Faculty which the major factor contributing to get this college at any cost because this college has india’s best doctors who’s published books are read throughout the country as well as outside india. 2. Location as mangalore is a costal place which is very poised and beautiful city with good people around makes life more easy and good. Bad aspects:- 1. The college doesn’t have there complete campus which seams quite odd sometimes. 2. College doesn’t conducts fest and big events very frequently.

Read Full ReviewI mean yea youll have to write a entrance exam for btech and intervirws for bba and pysch and like for MET EXAM WHICH IS FOR BTECH YOULL HAVE TO END UP GETTING A GOOD SCOTE SO THATS YOU CAN AVAIL SCHOLARSHIP IN FUTURE
Read Full ReviewSince the college is relatively new there's no particular exam but there's an interview round and a minimum 12th grade score eligibility. The college is under MAHE so it provides great infrastructure for the students. For the interview, only basic questions related to the course are asked.
Read Full ReviewThere was only one personal interview. And you need atleast 50 percent in your board exam. I joined because of social media marketing that marketed a law course focusing on tech law but they changed the course to a normal course without any notice
Read Full ReviewManipal maybe known for wrong reasons like substance abuse, but lets forget that for a moment (even that is strictly prohibited and curbed to a very great extent, considerably even nil, for the information of concerned parents) , Manipal has a lot of brand value all over the world and the degree is actually very prestigious. For students aiming for masters, i believe it would even help them to get accepted into good colleges.The placements, while seen slightly down in 2024 due to recession is still very good, the average of all branches being almost 10 lpa and 13 for CSE, but in the non-recession years it was higher. Manipal actually tries to give you the worth of the fees, their research facilities, opportunities, internship opportunities are all very good. Even the faculty in the general sense are more interactive and helpful than those found in government colleges. So if iits, higher nits and higher iiits, bits pilani are out of reach,this is the best next option without a doubt
Read Full ReviewThe college reputation the placements and the beautiful campus. We had to give a written test to get admission The faculties were also well known and has a good reputation about how good the teaching in the college is
Read Full ReviewChose this college for the sole reason of getting 9 paper exemption in ACCA, had looked for other colleges as well but manipal was the one closest to my home which provided what I was looking for so it was like a no brainer, plus always used to hear how fun manipal is which added to it
Read Full ReviewManipal university bangalore is a new institution but the emergency work and social doings from the campus brings in students to enroll. The courses and the education provided by each department is very informative and sourceful.
