- It rains nearly everyday even if for just a little bit
- Newer hostels are farther away from the academic blocks
Course Curriculum Overview :
Computer and communications engineering was attractive to me as it has both core subjects and mostly computer science related subjects as well. And in a world with a growing network having background in networking would be great. The curriculum is as relevant as any other college no special modifications are made to the curriculum provided by AICTE. Exams are held pretty frequently with assignments and internals every other week, mid terms are held twice in a year. The exams are moderately difficult.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
1. 4.9 Lakhs per year inclusive of all charges, which have been taken under tution fees itself. No additional lab fees, registration or admission fees. 2. No reservation of seats, so no difference in fees in categories. Except for national subsidies like PMSS for students from Jammu and AICTE freeship students. 3. Merit based scholarship is available for students achieving less than 5000 rank and obtaining a cgpa of 8.5 in their first year. Need based is AICTE for students with family income less than 7 lpa.
Campus Life :
Campus Life is pretty chill, there are a lot of things to do. People are also very sociable and learning happens as people are from different places, so diversity exists. Library is very good with most books available. Research is highly appreciated and even funded by the college. Students projects and clubs are very active with recruitments at the start of every year. Classrooms are fitted with security cameras and lecture recording devices for review. MIT has beautiful cricket and football grounds, tennis and badminton courts, gyms, basketball court both synthetic and cemented and a swimming pool.
Admission :
Applied to VIT-V and SNU got in but found Manipal to have better infrastructure and less student intake than the others, thus this became an easy choice. Manipal takes in students through MET conducted every year after which a rank list is generated and seats are allotted through councelling, their is no management quota. The entrance exam is somewhat difficult and cutoffs for computer science and related courses would be 120 marks. Overall admission experience is smooth especially after UGC has made refunds compulsory.
Faculty :
1 professor for 60-70 students per subject. Highly approachable. There are different number of exams for every subject, the tests are of moderate difficulty. Around 30% would fail to clear the exam. The course curriculum is as relevant as it is in any other university. MIT follows the general curriculum with minor changes for computer branches.
Other Applied Colleges
Vellore Institute of Technology - [VIT University] | Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Computer Science and Engineering)
Felt MIT had more to offer in terms of learning and had a lower student intake
