Manipal Institute of Technology does not release branch-wise placement statistics so there isn’t any official data available on that. Moreover, I will suggest you not to choose or reject a college solely based on its placements as there are many more criteria to be considered.

Here are some highlights about the CSE department at Manipal Institute of Technology-
The Main Campus of MIT is located in Manipal, as the name suggests. Manipal is a small university town in Karnataka, located 10 minutes away from Udupi. Around 25 institutes are located here. The nearest railway station to MIT is Udupi Railway Station (situated 10 minutes away from Manipal). The nearest metro station is located in Bangalore (an overnight / 8 hour bus ride from Manipal). The nearest Airport is in Mangalore (a 1 hour 15 minutes drive from the campus).
Thus, the CSE program at MIT is a good option.
While comparing institutes, you should consider these parameters-infrastructure, faculty, fee structure, and placement record:
Mahindra Ecole Centrale (MEC) has a world-class infrastructure with a good campus environment and good sports facilities.
Paris, and is of good quality.
At MEC, the average package stands near 7 LPA. At Manipal, the average package for 2023 was INR 14.10 LPA, and the median package was INR 8.5 LPA.
I would suggest you reach out to the alumni from each college. This will give you a clearer picture of how things are at the ground level. According to me, Manipal Institute of Technology, VIT, and MEC, all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
I am assuming that you wish to know if the crowd at MIT is friendly. As a middle class student, even I was afraid of being left out while joining MIT. I feared that the students might have hierarchies of sorts, based on wealth and social status.
As an introvert, it was especially difficult for me to approach my batchmates. But the cultural diversity of my batch made me curious to know each one of the students.
To overcome my hesitation, I decided to go and talk to my batchmates during breaks. I admit that it's quite nerve wracking to approach a stranger and talk to them.
I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was very sweet and welcoming. None was rude or arrogant, instead, they were as willing as me to drive the conversation ahead. This gave me so much confidence that I kept increasing my network beyond my batch.
Earlier, I looked at people as mere strangers. Now I noticed how different each person was. Everyone had their own stories and passions.
Through my experience I wanted to tell you that you’ll meet some amazing people at MIT. Manipal Institute of Technology offers great exposure and personality development to its students. You won’t find groupism based on wealth. So, irrespective of your background, you’ll have a good time over here.
The conversion rate from CGPA to the percentage at Manipal Institute of Technology is *10. This conversion formula is applicable to all other branches of the institute. Earlier the conversion factor was 9.09. But a few days back a senate meeting was held and it was decided to increase the conversion factor to 10.
Hope this helps you!
Even I began programming at Manipal Institute of Technology itself. I didn’t opt for Computer Science during 11th and 12th.
In the first few months, you’ll find a gap between those who can’t code and those who already can. The first few lectures will be quite difficult to understand. During your three hour lab sessions, you’ll struggle to complete the assigned programs on time. On the other hand, there will be students who will complete the same task much faster. You might even score less in the first few tests.
Now after all this, you’ll feel disheartened and approach people for help. Many will misguide you towards a branch change. This is when you have to choose- either you run away or face your fears. You’ll have to work hard and learn programming.
Do plenty of reading, approach your faculty with doubts, and seek help from friends who know programming. Manipal provides a good learning environment. It’s just that you’ll have to exhibit a lot of patience and hard work.
Pursuing my CSE from Manipal was the best decision I made. If you follow my advice, by the time you graduate, you’ll be at par with the rest of your batch.

Manipal Institute of Technology is a highly regarded engineering college. Here are a few pros and cons of the institute
Pros:
Cons
Overall the pros clearly overshadow the cons so you can overlook them and consider joining MIT without any hesitation.
MIT is a premier engineering college and a preferred choice of many engineering colleges. A close friend of mine shared his experience of how his perspective regarding MIT completely changed after 2 years of joining the institute.
During the initial 2 years, he spent the worst time of his life regretting his decision. However, in the third year, he started interacting with his peers and found out that everyone has a niche, a hobby they are passionate about. This struck a chord within him. He spent the 4th year compensating for his lost time and completely transformed himself.
The academic environment is like most other engineering colleges. Most of the faculties are interested in teaching and you will have to put extra effort into learning. You have to be interactive during lectures and make the professors feel that you are genuinely interested in the subject. There are many good professors too who are very keen to teach you and guide you. However, make sure you are not choosing a branch you are not interested in as this may not only make you regret joining MIT but also affect your career largely.
Ultimately, college just gives you the wings to fly Building yourself, and your personality and gaining knowledge depends on you alone!
Without a doubt, MIT Manipal is a better option than NMIMS MPSTME. It’s one of the top private Engineering colleges in the country with a better placement scenario than most other private institutes including NMIMS. MIT has a diverse crowd and a vibrant culture making it an amazing choice to spend 4 years of your life. The culture is immensely diverse and this is probably the coolest place to spend the 4 years of your college life. The infrastructure is also great and MIT Manipal has some very famous alumni like
The institute has produced amazing startups like Fractal Works, Cwain Microsystems, Mean Metal Motors, etc
In all, you should definitely considering choosing MIT over NMIMS.
