You want a small PG batch: the approved intake is 30 seats, so labs stay tight.

In short

Mangaluru costs less and pays more on average, but its closing score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Mangaluru; if it clears only MAHE, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.

In short

Chennai places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over two years and pays a little less. If its easier closing score is what you need, keep it one place below MAHE in your choice list as the safer seat.

In short

Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If MAHE gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.

In short

Chennai costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing score. If your score misses MAHE in the early rounds, list Chennai right below it and take whichever comes first.

In short

Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If MAHE allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Manipal Academy of Higher Education M.Sc NPRC

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is ME NPRC at this college worth the fee?▾

Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 5.68 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 11.8 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 score is just above the closing score?▾

Not on last year's number alone. The General Home State seat closed at score 50% in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.

What job will I get after this course?▾

Most students get hospital jobs in neonatal ICUs, paediatric ICUs and pulmonary labs that hire on campus in the second year. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 11.8 LPA, the median was INR 11.8 LPA and 78% of the batch was placed. If you want a general adult respiratory care role instead, this branch 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 three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Manipal campus 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 neonatal care and ventilator care, and the final project 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 score?▾

Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General closing score 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 branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.

Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾

Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 78% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 11.8 LPA is lower than the average of INR 11.8 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 Adult Respiratory Care better than NPRC for me?▾

Pick NPRC if you want neonatal and paediatric ICU work. Pick Adult Respiratory Care if you want wider adult ICU exposure. NPRC is narrower, so check that you want children care before you pay. Use the eligibility block above, then ask the department about clinical postings.

How do I get admission to this course?▾

Take the MET exam and fill this college in your MAHE counselling choice list. A seat offer comes after marks and test checks, and you must accept it and pay the fee within the given days. 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 2-year fee is INR 5.68 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 8.50 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.
