My friend is an alumnus of Manipal University Jaipur. Here are some snippets of her experience.
Curriculum:
My friend is from the CSE department. According to her, the curriculum is well-designed but she did have some gripes. Automata Theory and Compiler Design are clubbed together in the syllabus which does not give the scope to explore the Compiler Design part in depth. Open electives are not given much emphasis. The syllabus is vast but the topics are not discussed in detail.
Facilities:
The college has also tied to Coursera so that most courses with a credential can be accessed for free. You get one free year of Azure Cloud, and a Matlab student license is also available at the college if you want it.
Peer Group:
You will get to meet people from all over the country. The coding culture at the campus is great. You will find students working on C++ meta programs, Unity games, script kiddies, robotics, etc. There are students who have cracked GSoC, won hackathons, even went abroad to conduct research.
Faculty: Although the view regarding faculties is subjective, my friend only had good things to say about the CSE faculties.
Events: The quality of events has improved over the years. It conducts many hackathons around the academic year. Every year the institute also conducts TedXMUJ.
Internships:
Placements: The average salary package was 5.3 LPA while the highest recorded CTC was 42 LPA.
