How is biomedical engineering at Manipal institute of technology MIT Manipal?
MIT Manipal's BME course is the right combination of engineering and medicine subjects.
Academics
- The entire curriculum can be divided into three aspects namely technical, non-technical, and medical.
- The technical aspect Includes subjects that involve instrumentation, electronics, image/signal processing, and engineering mathematics, the Non-technical aspect includes subjects such as tissue engineering, bio-materials, and artificial organs along with electives. Unlike most biomedical engineering courses, the BME program at Manipal focuses a lot on medical subjects too.
- Students are required to attend classes at Kasturba Medical College (KMC) whose campus is very close to MIT.
- All subjects within the Basic Clinical Sciences (BCS) like Anatomy, Physiology, Cardiology, Radiology, Radiotherapy, ENT, Anesthesiology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Neurology, etc. are taught between the 3rd and 7th semesters.
- Additionally, live demonstrations of most medical equipment such as CT/MRI/CATH labs/Physiotherapy sessions/Prosthetic limb implementations, etc. are held to give hands-on experience to students.
Batch Size and Faculty
- The intake is very low around 25-35 students. This ensures better student-teacher relationships and one-to-one attention to every student.
- The professors, although very few, are cooperative and approachable.
Internship opportunities:
- Some international student organizations such as IAESTE or AIESEC offer both technical and non-technical internships to students. To avail of these make sure to sign up in the first year itself.
Placements
- The placement scenario isn't very good for core biomedical jobs. Only around 3 to 5 core biomedical companies visit and recruit very few students. Some of them are GE, Philips, and BPL Medical Technologies
- Most MRCs recruit for general, entry-level positions for which every branch is eligible.
Extra-curriculars
- The institute has ample opportunities to pursue your passions and many clubs promote diverse fields like robotics to dramatics.
- BMESI (Biomedical Engineering Society of India - Manipal Chapter) is a student-run technical club associated with the Department of Biomedical Engineering that organizes and participates in a wide range of events and technical programs.
In all the Biomedical Engineering course is one of the best offered by a private engineering institution in the country.
Is taking up Automobile Engineering at Manipal Institute of Technology a good idea? Are the placements and faculty at the department up to the mark?
My friend recently completed his graduation with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical from Manipal. Here is what he shared regarding placements and faculty at MIT Manipal
- Companies like Daimler, Hero, Toyota, etc. visit the campus but only a handful of them are RnD, few are manufacturing, and most of them are sales, marketing, supply chain management and other non-technical roles.
- Manipa has many student teams like Formula Manipal, SAE Baja, AeroMIT, etc. that have been consistently performing well at the international level.
- Many students after completing BTech tend to pursue an MS. Most MIT Manipal alumni got admitted to prestigious foreign universities like Berkeley, UPenn, Cornell, Purdue, UTA, Michigan Tech, UFL, etc. A huge percentage of students go for an MBA.
- The research culture here is decent enough to ensure the holistic growth of its students.
So, don’t come to MIT Manipal if you are expecting a high package and a RnD job. But if you aren’t sure of your future goals, trust me MIT will help you find them!
Manipal Institute of Technology or NIT Nagpur? Which one should one choose and why?
In my opinion, NIT Nagpur would be a better choice than Manipal Institute of Technology. Here are some key reasons why

It’s advisable to talk to students from both colleges and compare their reviews before making the final decision.
What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Manipal Institute Of Technology?
Here are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at Manipal Institute of Technology
- The syllabus for the first year is very easy so work hard to get good grades. It might be challenging to get good grades once you go to the second year.

Which one's better in terms of placements and fee structure, Manipal Institute of Technolgy, Manipal or Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg?
Both Manipal Institute of Technology and Bhilai Institute of Technology, Durg are excellent engineering colleges with their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Here is why you should consider joining BIT Durga instead of MIT Manipal.
- Fees: MIT Manipal BTech fees are INR 18.62 Lakhs while BTech first-year fees of Bhilai Institute of Technology are just INR 81,862.
- Location : BIT is situated in a very small city Durg. However, there aren't any connectivity issues as the railway station is quite near. You only need a bike to roam the entire city
- Education : Very few qualified professors can be found here as the institute is very old.
- Placements: One of my friends told me about the placement scenario at BIT Durga. The highest CTC stood at INR 20 LPA while the average CTC stood at INR 4.5 LPA.
The only major flaw the institute has is that despite being a 28-year-old institute it's affiliated to a 7-year-old university which affects the quality of education.
In all, if you dont want to spend much then BIT Durga is the right option for you.

Which college is better: the RV College of Engineering or the MIT Manipal for civil engineering?
I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:
- MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
- If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
- Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.
The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

How is the chemical engineering branch at Manipal Institute of Technology?
MIT's chemical department has a rich legacy of over 50 years and is one of the university's oldest and most reputed departments. Here are a few core highlights of the department
- The department has a strong alumni network and some of them have made it to the position of Board of Directors of big companies.
- The faculty is highly qualified with excellent research experience, strict yet helpful in clearing your doubts.
- MIT Manipal does not have a very active research culture, especially at the UG level. The scenario however is gradually improving as they are being called for conferences with well-published journals.
- The curriculum of the chemistry department of MIT Manipal is decent and at par with BITS since the HOD was an alumnus of BITS.
- The department has well-equipped Chemical Engineering laboratories such as Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, and a Process Control lab.
- There is also a computer lab decked with the latest engineering software - CAD, Aspen, and Matlab.
- As per the institute's Practice School Policy, students can complete their final year projects outside the institution.
- It will be difficult to secure core jobs at MIT Manipal because there are very few core chemical industries on the placement list. Students can easily get a job in the service /IT industry. A few companies that have recruited students from this department in the past are Jindal Steels, Grasim Textiles, Reliance, and Mangalore Refinery.
Hope my answer gave you a clear insight into the chemistry department of MIT Manipal.
