Review of Manipal Academy of Higher Education.

Placements: The alumni network of Manipal Institute is quite solid. We do get a bunch of internship and placement opportunities based on alumni recommendations, but one of the major recommendations is for IT sector companies like TCS, which offers internal communication internships and also gives a good stipend. At the end of the day, almost all students get placed primarily in IT, followed by FMCG and lastly, finance companies. Packages depend on the company; the highest is 10.4 LPA, the average package is 5.2 LPA and the lowest is 3.6 LPA. But getting a job in our core field is difficult.

Infrastructure: The institute is situated in a scenic location and is also close to a road, which is very useful. Classroom and hostel distance is greater; it is better to buy a bicycle for travel. There are many festivals organized in hostels; that's why day scholars can not enjoy that events. Our campus gives huge value to sports as it offers so many sports such as football, basketball cricket, etc. Our campus organizes tournaments every month, and we have a variety of clubs that help students study. Also, the college library has big digital boards, projectors, and classrooms with comfortable seating. Honestly, hostels are not affordable to middle-class students, but the food is tasty and hygienic.

Faculty: Our university is 7th in cleanliness and teaching. Teachers prove that they are very helpful; they have done research in subjects like media and literature. Teachers have in-depth knowledge about their subjects. The course structure is well planned, and they always make minor changes. All internal and external exams are done through the e-pad system so no one can cheat. Also, exams are so strict.

Other: Manipal is famous for events and activities; the crowd here includes students from all Indian states, and scholarships are based on merit and income.
