Should you pick B.Sc Respiratory Therapy at Manipal Academy of Higher Education?
This course suits students who want a respiratory care role and can live in a healthcare town for four years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are General, so a rank that misses the Open list can still get in.
You want hospital teams, not only service IT: the seat-wise placement table lists the same four hospital recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing rank: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share two to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a healthcare town, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You wait for the second MET attempt: fill your choices before counselling starts, or the early seats fill fast.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this seat if round 1 gives it to you on a General rank. If you are Open and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
KMC Mangalore costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take KMC Mangalore; if it clears only Sample Institute, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
SDM Dharwad places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over four years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below Sample Institute in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
SRIHER charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If Sample Institute gives you a seat in any round, take it; SRIHER belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
SRMIST costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses Sample Institute in the early rounds, list SRMIST right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Jamia is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If Sample Institute allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Jamia only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Manipal Academy of Higher Education B.Sc Respiratory Therapy
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Tech Respiratory Therapy at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 7.90 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 3.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General seat closed at rank 1,050 in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get respiratory care jobs with ICU and hospital teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 3.5 LPA, the median was INR 3.3 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a bedside hospital role instead, this seat is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share two to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a healthcare town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover ICU care and ventilator care, and the internship log can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a seat change after year 1 if you want a sibling seat.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 3.3 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this seat better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Respiratory Therapy if you want a software job and ECE if you want a bedside hospital role. Respiratory Therapy places a bigger share of its batch with hospital teams, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want CSE, the seat change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the MET exam and fill this college in your MAHE counselling choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days MAHE counselling gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 7.90 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 11.19 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
