Before I was about to join my college, there was a deep confusion going on due to the fact that MIT’s placements were too poor 4-5 years back. While joining people used to say me “Why u going there, placements don’t exceed 20% any year”. At that time I didn’t have any other option, so joined the college.
Now looking back at the history I feel, that it was so apt that I didn’t listen to people, hundreds of people will give you advises, many of them advantageous and many not, its upto you which you wan to listen and which disapprove. The placements at our college is soaring new heights, many many major companies are scheduled to arrive when college reopens including Deloitte, Yahoo, Cisco, EMC2, Microsoft, Honeywell etc etc.
So far TCS, Infosys, Accenture and Wipro have made their visit to college. TCS took a whooping 322 students on2nd of May and rest three came on 2-3rd of June. Students in my college are a bunch of lucky lots, companies and companies, if such trend continues who knows there will be hardly students left for companies which arrive later. Will students get more than 3 jobs this time keeping in mind that more companies are coming this time.
Before summing up the placement situation, I would like to tell the readers that placements is a trivial thing provided you have one job in hand. College is not just placements or marks or grades. I have seen people saying that “I wont go to that college because it has only 95% placement”. Isn’t this statement too much? Try to come in the 95%, this statement implies lack of confidence. Participate in extra-curricular activities, sports and all non-academic events too. GPA’s and CGPA’s are trivial things, they loose importance after you pass out of college.

Hey,
You are a comp. science student.Please tell me how is CS in manipal as iam interested in it.I’ve heard its not good acc. to AICTE grading.I can get Mechanical too.which one should i opt for?

Sorry for the late reply, actually your comment was sent in spam section ( dunno how)
Computer science is overall is very good branch, dont leave it. Its true that its behind Mech when it comes to grading of depts, but even if fauclty is not upto the par, it doesnt mean you would leave it.

how is instrumentation &control engg. at manipal in terms of placements and salary packages?
July 23, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Manish
One thing that I want to make clear is that if you come and perform properly (not asking to excel), then surely you can be placed.
And please dont care so much about salary packages. I understand this matters when joining, but never make a strong decision just on the basis of salary packages. The top paying companies pick up just a handful students, coming in that handful is up to your capabilities.
There is a long way to go even after your first job. So joining a company with slightly below expected salary doesnt count if you are ready to work hard and make your way forward.
May seem like philosophy, but this is truth. You wont work on the first job for lifetime.

hi yaar i m getting IT in manipal.what should i do.is placement for IT sector is good.
August 9, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Manish
Placements for IT sector is always very volatile, if there is a boom then the placements are excellent, when there is a slowdown then placements becomes sluggish. It all depends on the industry situation.
Overall placements are good and everyone get a job. That’s for sure.

Jayanta Das
can you please provide me with some data regarding placements for mechanical students in mit, manipal……i would be really thankful to you……
September 27, 2008 at 1:39 am
Manish
Personally I felt that Mech has the best placement in this college. This sector is always booming and always evergreen. Neither does it have to face the boom and slowdowns which IT sector usually faces.
The Mech Dept in MIT is really excellent. This is a word from a computer science student. I really admire that department for their achievements and talents.

@Khusbu
No need to worry about the GPA. From my experience I only know that you need to be 7.5+ to be able to sit in all the companies.
Every company has it own minimum cut off, but none of them have more than 7.5
Some companies like CISCO give too much importance to GPA, but they prefer taking top GPA students above 9.5, rest all depends on your capability. I prefer you bring your GPA close to 8 for being safe for worst cases.
@Pavan
It’s all relative. In our time of branch change, CS closed on 9.55 or something similar. Our batch has always been a high scoring one. You could have easily got Mech for 8.6 in our times. It would be better if you ask the 2nd years guys.

I am planning of doing my M.Tech in MIT.I wamt to know how are the placements for M.Tech(Mechanical).I am only interested in core companies.I also want to know is there any encouragements for sports?
February 2, 2009 at 11:30 pm

@Ram
The package of CISCO was some 5-6 lakh, but its not fixed as people say. The exact CTC would be out only when they join, but the estimated is I have written above.
February 2, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Manish
@Gururaj
Frankly I don’t know about MTech Placements in Mech, but BE Placements of Mech is awesome. The Mech & IP Department is great with lots of qualified professors and readers.
College promotes sports a lot, but its your vision how your take it. Even if I say its good, you might feel it not upto your mark. People have their own standards.
February 12, 2009 at 3:51 pm
gopi shanthan
sir,
how about the placements for EnC students? what is the minimum cgpa expected of them? i am in my first year now and my sem-1 gpa was 7.85
February 24, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Manish
Placements of CSE and EnC are the best, especially if there is no recession.
I suggest you to keep your CGPA above 8, though if its above 7.5, then you are eligible for all the companies no matter how high they keep th cut-off. This year highest cut-off GPA for eligibility was 7.5
Still, don’t spoil your GPA just because it may not be useful. On the other hand, don’t keep on studying like an insane person all the time. Maintain a balance.
Keeping everything fine, I always believed placements are luck atleast it has 50% hand. Rest if your capability.

Sorry, this question has no answer. You can just apply for branch change as see what you get.
This question has no specific answer, I can understand that you want to know, but seriously in our time, we had two such branch change counselling and each one had different result.
P.S. Of two counselling, first one was scrapped off
March 21, 2009 at 12:17 am
Manish
Chinmoy,
It all depends relatively. Say if there are 20 seats in CS, then the top 20 people would get it. Try to get 9 this sem, then maybe you can get EEE or Mech I guess.
April 5, 2009 at 5:01 pm
jayanta das
i agree with manish sir,this year’s batch is really very competitive…so if u wanna get mech…try your best to keep your avg. gpa of 1st & 2nd semester at around 9…

April 14, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Manish
The rule of the thumb is “A thief is a thief only if he is caught”.
The problem can arise only if there is lot of controversy around it.
If you are sceptical about the branch’s affiliation, then study hard and try to get it changed.
2ndly foreign universities have lots of different criteria for admission. As my friend told me who is preparing for GRE – Some colleges look for college name, some look at the extra curricular activies, some marks, some this that… Each college has it’s own requirement.
If you are thinking about GRE, then you should better contact some senior, probably at some technical event. They can tell you better, since I am not going for higher education,
April 16, 2009 at 11:48 am

one more thing i wanted to ask…u r nt goin fr foreign studies…still if u cn answer dis…is it really important fr a branch to get an AICTE approval if the student is applyin fr post graduation abroad…?? i min will the foreign univs take into consideration the fact that my branch is nt affiliated to AICTE?
April 16, 2009 at 11:52 am

May 11, 2009 at 10:41 pm

Depends on the branch you want to take admission. Plus, I heard that they take by percentage. Probably your GPA needs to be converted to percentage.
This is all which I have heard.

hi.
i want to take admission in mit.i may just get mech.
i have heard that this year the seats r going to b increased.
it will be gratefut ot u if you can please provide some information on how many seats r increased so that i can plan going to counselling on 11th.
another thing i wanted to ask….what about ragging there?
May 30, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Manish
Seats are increased every year and there is no press-release for the same, so even we being in Manipal don’t know much about it. All we come to know it by word of mouth news.
If you are getting Mech, then I say “GO”! Mech is the best branch in MIT when it comes to faculty quality and experience. If you can handle some harsh physical work in Mech, then Mech is even better
May 27, 2009 at 12:43 pm

also do tell the total no of seats for BE

May 27, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Manish
You are asking a question is quite complicated. It is “lets see” kind of situation.
Secondly, the only advice I can give you right now is that MIT is far better than BVU.
May 27, 2009 at 8:32 pm
Ribant
I have a rank of 3482 in engineering. I am interested in Mech. can i get it? what else branch will be good at this rank. also please tell me about the Mechatronics branch at Manipal. Does this have a good scope.
May 30, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Manish
Well, am sure whether you would get or not. It depends on the trend and I being a final year passed out student would be unable to comment on it.
Mechatronics is a new branch and you would be the third batch to which it would be offered.
Again, asking whether it has scope would hardly get any answers as even the students(most) who took it still don’t have much idea.

which is the best branch of MIT manipal?
May 30, 2009 at 5:52 pm

Depends on what you like. Most students prefer Electronics and some prefer Computer Science.
I have seen many students(including me) choose CS over EnC partially due to interest and partially due to easy curriculum or CS.
You get lot of free time in Computer Science.

Both are branches are as you might expect. It isn’t something too perfect or too bad. Placements are also good and it heavily depends on the placement scenario. This year they had problems due to recession (quite obvious)

June 2, 2009 at 2:12 am
Manish
I don’t think you can get freeship in Electronics and Computer Science, in rest of the branches it depends on the the turnout
In between Mech and EnC. Both brances have great placements. EnC students have to share most of the companies with CS students. Mech is like evergreen branch, you wont get so so much salaries as in EnC and CS, but this branch is less affected by recession. This year in my batch Mech got rocking placement.

June 2, 2009 at 2:21 am
Manish
This is really a very very tough question. My friend also called me up today to ask the same for his young brother.
I also heard RVCE has great placement record. The solution would be quite tricky. If I was in your place I would have decided on one college and be happy.
Don’t repent that you chose this college over another. I can guarantee that MIT has also very good placement record. You would surely get the job. How better job, that depends on how sincerely you do your engineering. Not just academics, but also extra curricular.
The key is to go by one. If you look back, you would feel sorry as the grass always looks greener on the other side.
If RVCE counselling was before, you would have wanted to get admission in MIT and cursed RVCE for putting its counselling dates early and vice-vera. It is human mentality.
Take the decision, these are tough ones. You can make mistakes, but don’t look back as you don’t have much time and solid-information to make your decision.
I would have gone by what I felt was better even if it was not best since more you think more you would get confused.
——————————————————————
i Know I used some emotional phrases, but this is all I can suggest you from all 4 years of my engineering which taught me more than 18 years of my life before I got into this college.

June 2, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Manish
Don’t know whether it is ranked 3rd in India as there is probably no well reputed rating body apart from NBA and NAAC, but still it is always in top 8 as far as I know.
With respect to freeship, please ask on MIT,Manipal community on Orkut, as freeship was not introduced in my batch, so no idea

sir, im also very confused as arihant is .i have also got a rankof 944 in enat09 and am confused whether to go for manipal or choose ip or uptu(my dce exam got screwed) or go for jaypee noida. but 1 thing is for sure i will take mech anywhere i go cos theres no other field i feel i can excel in. but people confuse me by saying that you will be a fool not to take cs or enc with such a rank. i have never been comfortable with the machine im sitting in front of right now but people say yull learn slowly BUT I DOUBT. TELL ME SHUD I GO FOR CS IRRESP. OF MY INTERESTS.also i have this thing for vmy home so i kind of get confused between maharaja agrasens mech (DELHI-HOME) and that of manipals.HELP ME OUT PLS I ALSO HAVE MY COUNSELLING ON 8 JUNE….

Manish
Point no 1: Go with the branch of your choice
Point no 2: IN case of doubt, check point no 1
Mech has excellent placements in MIT and if it is ur favourite, then go for it.
I don’t know much about Jaypee Noida, so wont comment on it.
There is nothing such as being a fool leaving EnC and CS. People do have left these two branches for Mech. You are not doing something new.
In the end, you will learn slowly everything you have been given.
Choosing college is something i don’t want to suggest as I always feel that I can be biased since I never studied in the other one. Still I can assure you Manipal is a place to be. You won’t repent unless you fcuk with your life yourself intentionally.
June 2, 2009 at 5:55 pm
arihant
sir please reply soon.i am feeling desperate.
June 2, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Manish
I think you should forget about placements when it comes to EnC, CS,IT and Mech. They all shine when it comes to placements. When choosing between these four, use your personal choice.
If you are attracted to Computers go by CS/IT. If not then EnC, CS/IT and then Mech.
Choose Mech if you are strong. I have seen people leaving CS and taking Mech as Mech is an evergreen branch and also because they are strong.
Remember, you have to study a lot in EnC when compared to CS. CS has got the tag of most vella branch in MIT. Mech students also need to study, but they know this fact.
EnC and CS have common companies for placements, and EnC students have to study hard for 3 years apart from 1st yr.
Now the decision is on you

Manish
EnC in Manipal is not a bad deal. Never! Remember, CS and EnC faculty are all screwed up in most of the colleges. THE FACT! It all depends on how passionately you have taken up your studies. Think just more than marks. Excel in your field.
Choosing college is upto you, only thing is that you won’t lose in choosing MIT unless you intentionally screw up your life,career etc…
June 3, 2009 at 1:00 pm

ah.. sir can u just provide me the highest package in e&c in past 4-5 years.i am ready to work really hard.reply soon
June 3, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Manish
My suggestion: Please stop thinking of placement if you are in EnC.
Come to college, enjoy your life, study properly and be upto the mark all the time. You will surely get placed in a good company.
Thirdly, don’t forget that you won’t work just in just one company all over your life. You will rise later and earn more money in future. Stop thinking of package. This is the mistake which most students make before joining. The max packages is pretty. I won’t disclose it intentionally. This might look rude, but it is required. Think something more than just pay package. Concentrate on what knowledge you will gain in the four years.

Also what level of perfomance do I need to put up to retain the Freeship if I get it…
Reply Soon..
Thanks.
June 3, 2009 at 11:04 pm

Well if u can get Freeship in Mech, then consider yourself lucky. Mech is an excellent branch.
By the way for retaining freeship, you better ask any juniors in the college. At my time the intake was quite less, there was no freeship, no free laptops and no online exams

June 3, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Manish
i can understand ur dilemma.
Average pay is just 2.2-2.3 lakh in EnC. Even the mass recruiters pay more than 3.2 lakhs. It’s all BS. You can easily get a 4+lakh package in EnC,CS,IT and Mech.
Let’s have a look
Microsoft – 9.3lakh, CISCO – 5+, IOCL – 7+ (AFAIK), Juniper – 5 (approx).
The list is huge. We don’t have any dearth of companies. Recession has hit equally on all the colleges this time (except IIT maybe)
Manipal is a lot better than BITS Goa, It is an elite college like RVCE, Ramiyaa etc.
If you feel that fees is too much for Manipal, then go with RVCE. If you feel not, then come to Manipal. Probably RVCE has better placement than MIT, but if I was in your place then I would have taken MIT since I know that it is not just studies, but also excellent quality of life that I can get in Manipal. This decision of mine would have been difficult as people would look down upon me as I have shunned RVCE, but I think more than just placements. You have to live your life for 4 years also. Think about that also. You would surely curse Manipal after 4 years if you royally screwed your life during this whole stay

Why do you want to leave RVCE option and go to MIT. RVCE is much better in all respects.
June 7, 2009 at 2:04 am

Actually RVCE is better as I have heard, but I would have chosen MIT as the lifestyle and opportunities(not just academics) are unmatched.
Esp the lifestyle is probably the best of all private engineering colleges.

Dear Manish,
I am a parent. I appreciate your support to so many students. My son hopefully has a chance to get IC or IP at Manipal in 2nd counselling based on last year’s cut-offs. Which one is better at Manipal / in market? I am little worried about something I read about the drug stories and bulleying. What is the fact?
I wish you a best of luck for your career.
Bye

Well I don’t have much idea about them, but my personal choice has always been something related to Mechanical. IP is under Mechanical Dept, and this dept is said to be in top 5 of all Mech depts all over the engg coll in the country.
Secondly, don’t worry about drug. I just want to ask you – which place in this world is free of drugs? Explain your child that what is good and bad and what is right and wrong. If he has enough will power he can avoid it. Even you send him to a drug free place, he has to work somewhere where drugs consumption is rampant.
Thirdly, bullying is now nearly non-existent. Ragging culture is nearly dead except few exceptional cases. I have seen a sharp decline in this trend all the 4 years.

I am hopeful you can get a branch in the second counselling. Pin hopes on branches like Chemical, ICT, Civil, Printing. Take them, study well in first year and you can get your branch changed after 1st year if there is any vacancies.

I think you can get chance in second round, but again second round is all about turnout. If the turnout in second round is good, it is back luck or you can get some or the other branch.

Seriously, I have no idea for the date of 2nd round of counselling. You should better ask it in MIT,Manipal community on orkut.
With 10K rank, you can expect branches which I have written in the reply of the above comment. You have to study hard and 10 and 10+2 marks dont matter in branch change. It is all CPGA at the end which gives you a good branch after first year.

If you can get a branch like CS,Mech,IT in SRM, then SRM is a way to go.
Second round of counselling is always dangerous. Esp with ranks like 10k, it is even more of a danger. As far as I know, all colleges have refund policy within one month. I would like you to come to MIT, but don’t take risk.
Take SRM with a good branch for now as I suggest. Are you sure your would get biomed in MIT? I would suggest you to go by your parent’s suggestion as leaving SRM would be risky if MIT counselling doesn’t give you much.

i think i’ll take mechanical.
fees of manipal is too high. r other expenses at manipal also like this? wats d average & highest package for mechanical, pls reply soon,my counselling on 10.
June 7, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Manish
Fees of Manipal is too high I agree. Education is a fully fledged business in India. This is a harsh truth.
Other expenses are not like this in Manipal. It was only fees which makes a hole in our pocket in the month of June. Food is awesome, tons of joints. hundreds of outing spots, natural scenic beauty. You will love Manipal.
Mechanical guys got the best placement this year(my year). Sit back and relax if you get mechanical. If you really work on your skills as a Mech engineer, you would surely get placed in an elite core sector company. e.g. Hero Honda, Mahindra, IOCL, Maruti etc

Which is a better department (teaching) between e&c and computer science in mit ?? please reply soon i have to decide which one to take
June 7, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Manish
Both are equal. You mean what am trying to say. Choose CS if you have a knack for technology and want to study the least.
CS students have the best life in MIT. Of all the best branches,this is the one where you have to study the least.
EnC is the branch which is really interesting but come at a cost – Heavy load of studies. EnC syllabus is vast, much much more than than of CS.
Now I told you the pros and cons of each branch. Use your wisdom and personal inclination to choose which is best for you.

okie.. but its lyk if i take chemical or civil or printing wots da use.. as in i dun think it has tat much of scope..
u being a student of manipal… wot will u suggest me 2 do? dat is either take da field they are offering me irrespective of da scope or chuck it and drop a year or try sumoder cllg rather dan taking risk? am really vry vry confused.. plzz help me out…
June 8, 2009 at 1:34 am
Manish
If you are confident enough that you can score good marks such that you can avail the branch change after 1st year, then you can try admission.
Now if you are confident enough that you can get a better rank next time, then gear up and prepare for next year. But remember, competition increases year by year.
I can understand your situation, but you should go and attend the counselling atleast to see if you can get more than Chemical, ICT, Civil, Printing. If you get Industrial Production, then its a lot better.
You should ask more complicated queries here on MIT,Manipal Orkut community You may find more people to answer.

Remember me sir? i\’m done with my counselling & i\’ve taken mech as per my choice . u shud hv hd a luk at the way EnC got filled.every seat available in any branch got filled at 5243. see i\’m in a dillema now as i\’ve got a seat in mait(ipu delhi) i know u dont have much info on ip.The avg pay they are givin is 3-3.5.the infra is not that great.i knw manipal is a better choice in most respects but 1 fact brought to fore by my dad has made me think all over again-MBA.\”If mba is ur ultimate goal then y waste money doing a li\’ll better BTECH staying away frm home when in the end wat will count is ur MBA + u stay at home,enjoy family, and prepare better for ur MBA entrances if u stay in delhi, something that manipal cant offer+ u save money for ur mba without burdening me\”, this is exactly what he said. and also although im luking at an mba in the future for now ;i might just wanna do an MS aftr 4 years who knows? so is manipal a good place to prepare for CAT, does it offer the facilities that delhi offers in lieu of that(institutes and all)? and does the brand name work -manipal+MBA > mait+MBA ? is it worth the money and leavin a place like delhi?does the btech not matter after an MBA?PLS REPLY SIR IVE GOT FEW DAYS TO MAKE A DECISION. also i wud welcome if any delhite has any thin to say-my email is luvguru2.bhatia@gmail.com

Luv -> If you are planning for MBA, then it makes little difference whether you do BE from mait or manipal. In fact delhi is better place for CAT coaching.

luv bhatia
thanks a lot. 1 more thing> i know i’m lukin 2 much into the future for now but this is my parent’s concern- does studying in delhi leave u with better chances to end up with a job in delhi itself. also 1 of my frnds at mait told me that most of the ppl at mait are recruited by mass recruiters like infosys etc and getting a core job is a tuff task. im citing the exact reasons to my parents that atleast manipal gives u a chance 2 get placed with a core company, is it true and if so wat amount of hard work &wat level of performance needs to be put up?>hw many ppl get it? even my teacher says that mba is better valued with work exp in hand, but the job i pick for 2-3 years wont pay up for the xtra i spend at manipal so will a manipal tag help me all the way thru my life(moneywise) or is it just the 2 years in btw. like an iit btech+mba is much bttr than the rest , does manipal hold that kind of advantage over mait(ipu)? and 1 more thing >ppl say that mait is making progress by leaps & bounds while manipal is now stagnant where it is, is it?i wud be very thankfull to u if u can put in alill bit of research into the mait(ipu) thing and sort me out the reasons y i shud go with manipal cos whnever i fix my eyes on manipal sm1 or the other on the net says that manipal & mait r more or less the same, i doubt if these ppl even have the knowledge or r they simply making it up without knowledge.just check out google search for the topic -”manipal vs mait”.waiting for yr response. and 1 thing u surely have helped me develop my typing skills THANKS!!

Mech people get the most number of core jobs of all core branches Manipal. Well, for getting placed in such companies, you need to know your course well, don’t turn nervous during interview, be calm answer the questions, then chances of getting selected increases. Rest, it is all luck!
Well, all I can tell you is that your college tag won’t do magic in your life. It might help in initial stages, but hard work in industry will surely pay you well, even if you are from any college. Initially it can surely make a difference. Again! It also depends on the company.
What does it mean that a college is making progress leaps and bounds? I can’t get it? Isn’t there an upper limit to providing infrastructure? Colleges dnt add facilities unless it is required. Mech dept is the best in MIT and in top 7 in India ( as I heard, no authentic source)
Since, I have not checked MAIT, I can’t comment on it. The biggest problem is that hardly anyone might have evaluated both MAIT and MIT properly.

Arihant,
MIT Placement is mearge? You out of minds? Double-check your information source before blabbering out.
Lifestyle? You should know that only studies don’t suffice in long run. It is the lifestyle exposure which is also required a lot of excel.

hey brother,
i will be taking admission in manipal this year in I and P.i would like to know if the discipline out there is conducive to study..please help me sort out my concerns as when i went there to manipal i found guys smoking and hanging out with their gfs even during class hours..also there didnt seem to be any discipline with couples out of their hostels even at late hours and nobody seemed to bother..please clarify the situation.
July 11, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Manish
Abhishek,
Manipal is open for all, even for nerds and drunkerds. You choose where you want to go. Can you name me one place where people dnt smoke and hang our with their gfs.
Even during class hours? What is the problem, let them do it. Attendance is too strict so they might be at loss and not you.
Couples out at late night hours is in-discipline? Arn’t they grown up people who can decide their own life? It is not a school and we have been brought up in so much of restrictions and spoon fed with so much of do and don’t they these things look like un-disciplinary behaviour.
Don’t worry. If you want to enjoy, you can. If you want to study, you can do that too.

I am going 2 join mit dis year n i am left with no doubts regarding its reputation. its an ultimate place 2 b 4 an engg. student…..n although i hail from delhi my dad mate it a point 2 keep education standards above distances. ipu stands now where in front of manipal n so do most of the north indian colleges but 4 pec,thappar n a few others.
i hav known parents whose wards had a reasonable aieee rank of 27000 n yet were so eager to send dere wards to mit. they did not even cared to fill the forms of j.p noida.my friends with as gud as an aieee rank of 13000 r studying in manipal who cud hav easily been in an nit. REASON-when u once attend mit councelling or visit manipal n see the development avenues den u wud not feel lyk seeing another college…esp in north india… coaching for cat is available within the campus by times grp. n dere is an atmosphere of studies in da campus. back at home dere are only distractions.so missing mit wud make u repent later. moreover even cat score requires a prestigious college. it makes nearlu 2% of ur cat score. keep in mind IIMs go beyond 99percentile so 2% makes a diff. n ipu is a low rated collgege so are most of the govt. institutes.a elder frend of myn suffered da same fate 1 year bak.
