Manipal Institute of Technology MAHE Answered Questions

I won't say that all the courses are worth the pay. At the end it all narrows down to what you do in the college. You are provided with all the facilities be it well equipped library, labs, 24 hours WiFi and even research grants. It is you who has to decide what to do with all the facilities. If you make use of all the facilities, then yes it's worth spending. Apart from all this there's wonderful campus life. There are people from different parts of globe. After joining college I have friends in Singapore, Dubai and different parts of the country. All this counts. There are feats at national levels and if you participate you get to meet people even from different colleges.

Mechanical in Manipal main campus is quite good. We have all the facilities, from well equipped labs and workshops to a number of opportunities. There are a number of projects that students do in the college and one can be a part of it and learn a number of practical things.
As far as the trend or which branch is better, to be frank there's nothing like that. Every branch is unique in it's own way. Be it mechanical, CSE, biotechnology or be it ECE. And it really doesn't matter which branch you choose. For instance if you choose mechanical but when you enter college you also started liking CSE, so you can study CSE too and sit in the placements. In the end all that matters is the knowledge you have and not the branch you have.
