Manipal, Karnataka, India, is once in a lifetime experience. I am lucky to be a part of its journey.
Placements: There are no placements offered for the M.Sc. course in Bioinformatics (School of Life Sciences), Manipal yet. Although, many international and national academic events that take place often in the university, where every student can make useful connections for his/her plans.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our institution, School of Life Sciences(in particular), in Manipal is good and creates a positive vibe. The classrooms are comfortable and are available in more than sufficient numbers. The labs are equipped with all kinds of high-class instruments, and each used regularly and well-maintained. For the M.Sc. Bioinformatics course, there is a neat computer lab maintained with about 50 computer systems each pre-installed essential software. They even have a server system to carry out high-performance computing tasks. Moreover, Bioinformatics is not just restricted to the computer lab but is involved in all research projects in all the labs in the institution. This increases the scope and provides more interdisciplinary options while taking up projects. Also, there is a cozy, comfortable canteen attached to our institution building. The canteen has a friendly environment, and the food is well-nourished, home-cooked, tasty, and its prices are subsidised. The special dishes are made on popular occasions. The menu in the canteen slightly changes every day so that you don't get bored easily. Apart from our institution, the rest of the university also maintains a high standard and provides a great campus life.
Faculty: Our lecturers, professors, seniors, etc., were a good company during our college life. They still are, even today, after I graduated in 2016. They're friendly, supportive, and informal at times, which makes us feel comfortable with them in and outside our institution. In the aspect of teaching, I loved their belief in practicality. They push students to think outside the box, think practical, involved in activities, perform well academically, and ultimately play a role in changing us for good. There were events constantly organised in the university, and we were encouraged to attend them to get some exposure to international research and scientific industrial work. We also interacted with delegates during conferences, other events, and had a good experience. Our curriculum covered interesting and useful topics, our lecturers are well-qualified, smart, and knowledgeable, but to score high, we also needed to do our research in the library/on the internet, expand our knowledge apart from studying from our notes/books. Our lecturers also helped in keeping us active that way by giving us assignments and asking us to research on our own. One cannot depend only on the fixed curriculum to score well and achieve excellence in future.
Other: The non-academic events and the fests are one of the best and most enjoyable in Manipal. The large investments are made to maintain the standard of the event and to captivate the crowd. The student committee works hard towards these events, which are praised massively by the crowd at the end. I am a dancer myself, having performed many times on stage, and an enthusiast in sports too. I must say that there are heavy commitments towards encouraging sports and extracurricular activities throughout the university. The campus crowd is great and lively. But of course, when freedom is given to masses of students, there is always misbehaviour involved, which may/may not lead to serious damage at times, and that is the reason one should always know their limits. Choose a good company and be under the influence of good people, while enjoying their campus life, and that is the case with every campus. These are the experiences, which become integral parts of our life, for memories for a lifetime, help us mature and teach us many things at the end. The campus is huge, connectivity by road is great and well-being maintained. Moreover, they even have a campus police department to ensure safety and discipline throughout the place at all times. Most students have 2-wheeler to commute. The others take a walk or travel in auto rickshaws. The campus surroundings are great and student-friendly.
