Manipal Institute of Technology, MAHE

Admission: The courses here are similar to what you'd find at other top colleges like IITs and NITs. Each semester, we have two exams: one in the middle and one at the end. Each subject is out of 100 marks (50 from internal assessments and 50 from external exams). In the mid-semester exam, 30 marks are from internals and the rest comes from quizzes and assignments.

Placement: The ECE students at our college have a good chance of getting placed, around 80-85%. Big companies like Snyder Electronics, Being, Tata, and Wipro come for placements. You can even try for interviews with other companies like Microsoft and Goldman Sachs. The average salary offered is around 12 LPA. In the third year, students can get internships, and in the fourth year, they get placed.

Campus: The hostels here are cool. There are like 25 of them, and the new ones are the best. First-year guys can stay in blocks 16, 17, 5, 6, or 10. Girls can pick from blocks 3, 4, 22, or 7. Food-wise, there are 6-7 messes run by different companies. You've got Indian kitchen, Apurva, Aditya, Ashreya chief on wheel, Ananya, Anapoorna, and Quess. And don't worry about late-night hunger there are night canteens open till 2 am. The library is huge, with four floors. The ground floor is for reading, the second floor has group and solo study halls. It's a pretty good setup.

However, subjects like electronics, electrical, and math are super important for everyone. We have two exams every semester, plus lots of quizzes and assignments. The semester exams are not too tough if you start prepping a couple of weeks early.

BlackRock offers internships too, but they don't count in the placement percentage.

Campus: I'm in a basic room without AC, but it's super clean and quiet. They clean the toilets daily and the rooms every couple of days, or sooner if you ask. The Wi-Fi is decent, running at a good speed all over the hostel. Classrooms have all the necessary stuff like projectors, boards, AC, and more. The library is easy to get to with your student ID. The mess food is clean and safe, but it can get boring after a while. Overall, there's a good selection of food though.

The exams focus on using what we've learned and making sure we understand the basics.

Placement: The job placements at Manipal University were okay. Around 40% of students got placed. But the placement office wasn't very helpful, and they didn't arrange any internships.
