Should you pick M.Sc Sports and Exercise Sciences at MAHE?

This course suits graduates who want to test, train and study athletes, and who can pay a private university fee.

Pick it if:
You want to work with athletes: the course trains you for sports scientist, biomechanist and strength coach jobs in sport academies and high performance centres.
You want to learn on real lab machines: MAHE has a motion capture lab and an exercise physiology lab with treadmills and gas analysers.
You want a well known university on your degree: NIRF ranked MAHE #3 among universities in 2025, and it holds an A++ grade from NAAC.
You studied BPT, BOT or MBBS: your degree is on the main list, so 50% marks and a good interview are what you need.
Skip it if:
You need a job right after the course: NIRF data shows 78% placed across all MAHE two-year PG courses, with no figure for this course.
You have not finished your internship yet: MAHE admits you only if your internship is complete before classes start, so check your end date first.
You want internships in a big city: Manipal is a small university town, so most practice happens in the campus sports hall and the internship.
You are hoping to add up two scholarships: MAHE lets a student take only one scholarship at a time, so the waivers never add up.
Counsellor's advice
If you hold a BPT or sports science degree with 50%, apply before the July last date. If cost decides it, check the scholarship calculator before you pay the first year fee.

FAQs on MAHE M.Sc Sports and Exercise Sciences

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Sc Sports and Exercise Sciences at MAHE worth the fee?▾
It is worth it if you want lab based sports science work. The full fee is INR 4.46 Lakhs without hostel, and MAHE has motion capture and physiology labs. MAHE does not publish pay for this course alone, so check the scholarship calculator and the loan EMI above before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most graduates work as sports scientists, biomechanists, strength coaches or fitness specialists. They join sport academies, high performance centres, fitness centres, sports teams and labs. Some go on to research or teaching. Build a strong internship, because teams hire on what you have done with athletes.
Should I take this course if I studied BPT?▾
Yes, if you want to work on performance and not only on treatment. BPT is on the main list, so 50% marks and a good interview are what you need. Finish your internship before classes start, or MAHE cannot admit you.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a sure placement figure before you pay, or if you want internships in a big city. MAHE does not publish placement numbers for this course, and Manipal is a small university town. If either matters most, compare the other colleges in the block above.
Is this course good for a PhD or research later?▾
Yes, it suits research well. The course ends with a dissertation, and you learn on motion capture and exercise physiology labs. If you plan a PhD, pick a dissertation topic with a faculty guide early and aim for a published paper.
Should I pick this course or the MPT in Sports Sciences at MAHE?▾
Pick the MPT if you want to treat sports injuries as a physiotherapist. Pick this M.Sc if you want to test, train and study athletes. The MPT costs more than twice this course's fee of INR 4.46 Lakhs, so be sure you need a clinical role before you choose it.
Will I get placed after this course?▾
Most likely, but there is no course figure to prove it. MAHE's NIRF data shows 78% placed and a median of INR 11.8 LPA across all its two-year PG courses. Treat those as university numbers, and use the internship to build contacts with teams and academies.
Is Manipal the right place if I want internships with big teams?▾
It depends on how far you will travel. Manipal is a small university town, so your daily practice happens in the campus sports hall and labs. Plan your internship early and be ready to move to a city team or academy for it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online on the MAHE portal before the last date, which was 15 Jul in 2026. Upload your degree marks and internship papers, then attend the personal interview. MAHE makes a merit list on marks and the interview, and you pay the first year fee to keep the seat.
What is the full fee with hostel?▾
The full fee is INR 4.46 Lakhs without hostel and INR 7.28 Lakhs with hostel and mess. A double room with attached bath costs INR 79,000 a year and mess costs INR 62,000 a year. Turn on the toggle in the fee block to see both totals.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes, in two yearly parts. You pay INR 2.23 Lakhs in year 1 with the INR 10,000 caution deposit, and the same fee again in year 2. If you need a loan, MAHE lists partner banks on its scholarships and loans page.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, if you meet one scheme's rule. The SAGES scholarship waives 75%, the Scholar scholarship 20%, and the alumni and Konkani schemes 10% each. You can hold only one at a time, so use the calculator above to find the one that fits you.
