Can you stay off campus at Manipal Institute of Technology, and if yes, how much money will I save?
Yes, students are allowed to stay off-campus from the second year onwards. Let’s compare the expenses of staying on and off-campus at MIT Manipal.
The on-campus hostel fee is about INR 8–10k monthly including mess charges. The mess takes care of all meals throughout the day from breakfast, lunch, and snacks to dinner. The hostel has excellent facilities for water, electricity, internet, etc. Hygiene is ensured by cleaning rooms every 2-3 days.
Now if you stay outside then your rent would be around INR 6-10k depending on the location and size of your apartment. This amount includes your water and electricity expenses too. However, it does not include food so you will have to get it arranged and that would cost you extra money.
So even if you get the best place, you will be saving around 2k per month by staying off-campus. Moreover, you won’t be restricted from following the hostel rules and can do whatever you want. I will therefore recommend you to go for an off-campus stay if you are able to find a good place!
Do IT giants like Google and Facebook hire B.Tech students from Manipal Institute of Technology?
IT giants like Google and Facebook do not visit MIT Manipal for campus placements however that does not mean that students of this college dont make it to these IT giants. We have examples of a few alumni who are now working in these companies.
Let me tell you an interesting fact. Companies like Google and Facebook dont recruit on the basis of your college credibility or grades. They have a fixed mark set up for their employees, and everyone who qualifies for this mark gets hired. So the college from which you completed your graduation has nothing to do with your chances of getting employed by IT giants like Google and Amazon. All you need is a good knowledge of data structures and algorithms and a passion for computer science.
MIT Manipal is a well-reputed college amongst IT companies in general so you shouldn't worry about job opportunities in the IT sector at least. You can apply to these IT giants through portals like Google Careers, etc., and also participate in competitions like Google Code Jam, Facebook Hacker Cup, ICPC, etc, You can also contribute to various open source projects through GSOC, etc.
So it's safe to conclude that there is no dearth of opportunities at MIT Manipal and you are likely to end up in companies like Google and Facebook by applying off campus.
Is the Manipal Institute of Technology as good as BITS Hyderabad or Goa?
No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.
MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.
- MIT Manipal has great placements for CS branches but below average for other branches.
- BITS also has a better environment for extracurricular activities and social development clubs. The campus life at Manipal is at par with BITS Goa.
- Location is another factor Manipal gives an edge to BITS. It’s a university town and you get to interact with students from 25 different colleges.
- The coding culture in all the BITS is unmatched and the faculty pool is also better.
- The quality of students at BITS is better because its entrance exam BITSAT is more difficult than MU OET, the Manipal entrance exam. This ensures a more filtered crowd.
So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.

What is the better option between IIIT Vadodara and MIT, Manipal?
If you want to either choose between CSE or IT, then going for IIIT Vadodara will be a better option. IIIT Vadodara is a government-run institute, while MIT Manipal is a private university.
- However, IIIT Vadodara cannot provide you with the same facilities as MIT Manipal can, since it is a newly developed institute and is at present running on a temporary campus. Yet, it has shown noticeable changes in its development. The curriculum precisely concentrates on subjects that are related to either CSE or IT.
- Now, when talking about the fee structure of each institute, MIT Manipal has almost double the fees as opposed to IIIT Vadodara, since it is a private university.

Which University is better for Engineering: MIT Manipal or PEC Chandigarh?
Based on what I learned from my friends at these two institutes, I will recommend that you choose MIT Manipal. Many students and faculty in the industry argue that MIT graduates are doing much better than many of their IIT and NIT peers. The reason behind this is the well-rounded personality development you get to experience at MIT Manipal.
- Campus Life: The campus life is hassle-free, unlike many other private colleges, there are no base-less rules in place. The infrastructure at MIT is great. The sports facilities offered at MARENA Manipal are one of the best in the locality. The hostel and mess facilities offered are quite good too.
- Coding Culture: The institute has a great coding culture. There are various clubs like ACM Manipal, IECSE, MIST, LUG that helps you develop coding skills. Many coding competitions, hackathons, are organized around the academic year, some of these include Microsoft Code Fun Do, AngelHack, etc. The institute also witnessed the launch of many start-ups.
- Projects: Various student projects like Parikshit (student satellite team), MRM (Mars Rover Manipal), RoboManipal, AeroMIT, SolarMobil are doing quite well and are considered among the top 5 university team in the world.
- Placements: The institute is witnessing an upward placement curve with reputed MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Dell, Seagate visiting the campus.
- Higher Studies: You can easily spot MIT alumni pursuing higher studies at reputed universities like MIT Boston, Harvard, UCLA, Stanford, Cornell, etc. Manipal has various coaching centers for GRE/GMAT preparations.

Going by the above factors it is safe to say that MIT Manipal is a great choice for an engineering degree.
Which has a better faculty in civil engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology or UPES, Dehradun?
One of my cousins is a recent graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) and mentions that the department of Civil engineering is among the oldest departments of all. Here are some factors that you should know about it.
- Alongside the newer faculty members, who are both professional and easy-going, the institute also has old faculty members who are well experienced as well. However, at times, they can be quite strict too.
- The present HOD of civil engineering is moreover admirable as well. My cousin states the same because he sat for one of his classes.
- He mentions that the HOD is rather supportive and dynamic. He is always willing to be of help if any student needs it for their further studies.
- Professors of this department keep maintaining their decorum by all means. But, the placement stats of civil engineering has unfortunately not been great in most of the institutes nonetheless.
