Does Manipal Institute of Technology really have to be so expensive?
Manipal Institute of Technology is a well-regarded engineering college that charges high fees for all the courses. Here are a few reasons that justify the high fees it charges to a certain extent
- Manipal Institute of Technology is India's first fully self-funded engineering college not supported by the government in any way. Also, it does not receive funds from any private business groups. So the only source of income for the institute is the student's fees thus they are high.
- Every student gets a free laptop the cost of which is included in the fees. This laptop helps you from day one and you don't have to even return it.
- MIT Manipal has a well-maintained campus with complete electricity backup and 24-hour running and heated water in the hostels. Additionally, it has an extensive rainwater harvesting system, and maintaining it costs a lot.
- Students have access to high-speed internet throughout the campus.
- The infrastructure is improving every year and new hostels are coming up as it is slowly increasing its intake and faculty pool. MU has a sister university in Sikkim and Jaipur Manipal is on the way. Expanding also costs a lot.
- MIT has an excellent teacher-student ratio much better than most educational institutions in India.
- Manipal has a lot of scholarship opportunities and almost 10% of the batch studies at the college's expense.
The above points completely justify the fees charged by MIT. Remember that what you pay for an education at Manipal is nothing in comparison to the life lessons you get and opportunities to learn.
What was it like to get D/F/F* at BIT Mesra?
One of my friends shared a story of his batchmate at BIT Mesra who got a F* in DS Lab and theory in the second semester.
- For anyone not belonging to this institute, an F indicates the shortage of attendance. You need a minimum of 75% attendance to be able to sit for the exams.
- My friend fell short in DS Theory by 2 lectures as he had gone to his brother’s wedding. The professor knew him well and said that he understood his circumstances and there was no need for any fake medical and that he would be fine and attendance would also be taken care of.
- But, in the end, it turned out, the professor completely forgot about it and he had his name on the list.
- He was informed about theory one, during the end semester exams, just two days before his DS exam. He appeared for the exam and no one said a word.
- He already had an F in DS Lab and thought about registering for theory one as well in the summers because the seniors told him that his exam won’t be evaluated.
It was a spring semester. The results weren’t out by then and had he waited for the results, he would have to wait for another year to give the exam. So, he registered the papers that summer and cleared them. He got an A in both and hoped that his spring semester would be carrying an F, which it did.
How is the mess at KGMU Lucknow?
The mess at KGMU Lucknow serves average quality food so you can keep your expectations low. However, there are many eateries around the hostel. A cafeteria serves delicious macaroni and sandwiches. There is a Nescafé Canteen too. The Paediatric Canteens Cheese Paratha is a must. Two other great options are the “1905 Canteen” Shatabdi Doctors Mess.
The food served in the new CV hostel is pretty good though. The other hostels don’t have good food though. But you can always find other hygienic and affordable food options on campus.
Which is better, GJU or DCRUST?
Having known some people graduating from both GJU and DCRUST, I can share some details about both colleges. See which one suits you better and opt for that one.
- Since both colleges are located far away from the city, the chances of professional and personal exposure are very less.
- DCRUST has a very enthusiastic and competitive student crowd, unlike GJU.
- While choosing a college also keep in mind their infrastructure, placements, and faculty.
- The placements at DCRUST are also better than GJU.
- Students of CSE and ECE received the highest placement opportunities.
- TCS has been the top recruiter consecutively every year.
- The faculty of DCRUST is also better experienced than GJU.
- DCRUST offers students a Robotics lab too.
| Categories | GJU | DCRUST |
| Course Fee | 2.44 lakh | 2.36 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 60-70% | 70-80% |
| Highest CTC | 6 LPA | 8.21 LPA |
| Average CTC | 4 LPA | 4-5 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Adobe, Amazon, DE Shaw, Goldman Sachs, etc. | Tech Mahindra, Bosch, Fidelity, Jindal Iron and Steel, etc. |
Opt for DCRUST among the two, as it provides better education and facilities than GJU.
Which one is better IMT Ghaziabad or MDI Gurgaon?
You may want to consider MDI Gurgaon over IMT Ghaziabad. MDI offers superior course content, faculty involvement, and in-class experience. Additionally, MDI has a stronger alumni base and better placement record, which is crucial in today's competitive job market.
Recruiters also view MDI as comparable to the IIMs, making it a more reputable brand in the industry. This is especially important when you are competing against a large pool of candidates for that coveted job.
When it comes to placement packages, MDI outperforms IMT. The average and median packages offered during IMT Ghaziabad PGDM placements in 2023 were INR 17.35 LPA and INR 16.0 LPA, respectively. In comparison, the average package offered during MDI Gurgaon placements in 2022 was INR 26.2 LPA. The average packages offered during MDI Gurgaon placements in 2021 and 2022 were INR 22.05 LPA and INR 23.15 LPA, respectively. This indicates that MDI has a higher return on investment for students in terms of placement packages.
How is life at IIM Shillong?
IIM Shillong offers a good campus experience. The professors are friendly, supportive, and well-qualified. You can get their help regarding any academic-related problems. The departmental library has an excellent collection of books. Peer-to-peer learning opportunities are ample, thanks to the fairly heterogeneous mix of student backgrounds.
Staying on the IIM Shillong campus is somewhat surreal. Waking up to clouds forming just outside of the window or double rainbows making a bridge between two mountain tops are regular occurrences.
How is law at Christ University?
Christ University is a good option for pursuing Law degrees. It has a dedicated law faculty. The student crowd is great. You will get to meet many talented students.

Various law firms, corporate houses, NGOs, LPOs recruit from the university. Justice & Care Bangalore, Adlaw Partners, GMR Infrastructure Ltd. are some of the major recruiters from Christ University Law placements over the last few years.
