- Our campus has its very own private beach. I don't think I have to describe how wonderful it is to live next to a beach.
- The institute has a very lively atmosphere. A lot of events take place here from time to time to keep you on your heels
- There are a lot of places to visit in and around the campus. Manipal and Udupi are in proximity.
Dislikes
- The climate here isn't the best. It's rainy mostly
- Relative grading is followed here. So don't expect grades to be awarded easily.
- Water shortage can happen during summer.
Placement Experience:
Placements start from fourth year onwards mostly ( unless if you get a pre placement offer and get placed in the third year itself). Many tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs visit the campus often. Companies offering packages below 6 CTC are usually not allowed in the campus. Placement percentage varies from branch to branch, but mostly around 90% people get placed at least.

- The campus environment , nature and the beach
- The events going on all the time , like fests , sports events and club activities
- The students here are bright. And have great ideas and thinking capability, providing a space for great collaboration
Dislikes
- The hostel infrastructure for the first year students
- The food quality in the mess of the hostels
- Some courses which are still following the old method of teaching instead updating to the newer technology
Placement Experience:
Placements and internships are really very good in the college. There is no such criteria of eligibility but generally most of them are from third and fourth year. All the top MNCs and faang companies visit the college, I am not sure of the exact number of offers made but it's in a significantly good amount. Highest package is 60 lakh and average lies around 25 lakh per annum. The percentage of students getting placed are high , around 95 to 100 . The remaining students opt for higher studies or startups.
