Which is a better place to pursue MPH: Manipal University or IIPH?
My sister is pursuing MPH from IIPH and the University of Hyderabad. She is going to graduate in April of 2022. MPH in both Manipal and IIPH is structured in the same manner.
Here are the advantages of IIPH though:
- IIPH has is a public health organization and it aims towards public health only.
- Most of the IIPH professors are serving as guest faculty of Manipal too. You can assume the quality of education these professors offer.
- IIPH courses are cost-effective too when you compare them to Manipal's.
- You will discover brilliant Faculty members at IIPH like the esteemed epidemiologist Dr. Raghupathy Achla; Dr. Rajan Shukla of Health Policy and Dr. Nand Kishore Kannuri.
- If you compare IIPH's faculty with any other institute's, then only TISS gets the upper hand.
As for working abroad, there are good chances but if you plan to work for India, then be aware of the ground realities because it's very different. The placement rate is about 80% but if you have the requisite skills then you should not worry at all.

How is MPH unique from other social science programs in MIT-WPU?
Unlike Other Social Science Programs, an MPH degree offers a theoretical foundation with field exposure towards practical aspects of health and well being. The program develops understanding among students about the need for understanding health from a non-medical perspective to address complex social determinants of health. The study focuses on the experiential, facilitative and case study method of learning whereby the students have an opportunity to experience a participative mode of learning.
What are the essential eligibility criteria for admission to MPH at MIT-WPU?
- Graduates from any of the disciplines – Sciences, Social sciences, humanities, arts, Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, pharmacy, Law, media and communications and others can apply for the program. Students who have appeared in their final year of a degree program from any faculty of a recognised University are eligible to apply for the program. The experience of candidates in working with the health, social sector, civil society institutions, in livelihood programs, on policy advocacy, project planning and monitoring will be given due weightage
- Besides, working mid-career professionals from Government, Industry, Civil Society Organizations, National and International NGOs, bilateral agencies and others also are encouraged to apply depending on the time they can spare. This course is very demanding, and the working professionals must have the option of getting leave for the study period or getting relieved to attend lectures and fieldwork.
- Students from India and abroad can apply.
Preference will be given to students who have already gained some experience while working with any health or social sector projects or any other development projects involving rural, urban or semi-urban areas in collaboration with any local organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and Community Based Organizations (CBOs)
