How good is the B.Tech information technology course at the Manipal Institute of Technology?

MIT Manipal BTech Information Technology is decently structured covering concepts related to software, hardware, and networking as well. Although the degree offered is that B.E in IT, the department is called Information and Communication Technology so students have to also study communication courses straight from students of the ECE branch.

I will advise you to take up this course only if you are interested in computers and related stuff because the concepts taught are tough and unless you have an interest in the field you won’t be able to cope with the rigorous curriculum. Here are some additional points you would like to know about the branch

• Every semester has 5 subjects and 3 labs. The labs carry two credits, unlike other branches where they have 2 labs of 1 credit. So practicals are given a lot of importance.
•  A good variety of electives are offered making the curriculum flexible. 
• You will have to learn to code if you opt for this branch. 
• The IT branch has 5 subjects only so they can go home earlier than other students and the end-semesters get over two days earlier. 
• There are evaluations every fortnight in the labs, lab sessionals, and quizzes for internals for theory subjects and labs as well which other branches don't. 
• The placement scenario is great because of the immense demand of this branch.

Overall, this branch will fetch you enough opportunities if you are genuinely passionate about it.
