MIT affiliated to Manipal University is one of the premier private institutes in India behind of BITS Pilani, VIT Vellore, BIT Mesra etc kind of institutes but always tries to show off as the best private institute. Its ranking in NIRF ranking is #39 behind of BITS, VIT, Mesra( which is the actual ranking framework to be followed for accurate comparisons) kinds of institutes, that too many institutes haven't registered for the 2016 and 2017 ranking. If all the institutes would have registered . MIT would have been pushed even further back.
Its lack, although being a part of a university( which has its branches in Sikkim, Jaipur, Dubai and Malaysia) is absolutely and completely justified.
Some of the reasons are as follows:
1) lack of good and maintained equipment
2) lack of good labs and its instruments
3) lack of good guidance
4) while being in MIT Manipal feels like you are totally isolated from rest of the world and always seem to be in a
dream i.e. the professors don't ever give the actual ground reality.
5) almost zero association with any private companies or organizations so that students can be sent for well qualified
and good internships and vocational training and get good industry exposure.
6) Research by senior management is not encouraged but the policies put in place actuallyt discourage research. Many
teaching staffs have actually complained but their call is not respected.
7) no financial help to low income class and under privileged families.
8) Student intake is huge and lab seat is less
9) Student take is huge, so least attention is given to each student which means they are devoid of motivation and
don't understand their weakness to the fullest
10) Minimum trees in the campus so it is extremely hot all around the year. No shelter from Sun or rain is provided at
all . Basically there is only summer season in Manipal. In actual summer season along with extreme heat there is
bright sunlight, it is so bright that it looks like a constant flash of a photographic camera.
11) Extremely high fees. It is so excessively high that I have no excess money to study again in any private college to do my research or to do MBA in any institute.
12) poor placement
13) branches except Mechanical, IT, Computer Science, Electronics and electricals have extremely poor opportunity.
14) some very self obsessed and arrogant students can be found so finding right friends can be problematic in 1st and 2nd year.
15) OK OK faculty and some bad faculties present too.
16) more class hours, but corresponding output is not up to the mark.
etc
Coming to Good things in MIT Maniapal:
1) Diversity
2) all Kinds of food available
3) great places to visit and they are closer than you think
4) cultural mix up is encouraged
5) students are encouraged to take up their hobbies
6) Many kinds of students can be found so finding friends is easy but finding good friends becomes tricky
7) Booze is famous
8) late entry allowed to females but can doing so can be headache for herself but for accompanying boys it's not so
much:D
9) many party places and restaurants available
10) students of all different streams, study and graduation at one place - engineers, doctors, chefs, banking graduates etc
11) teaching staffs are patient and generally listen to the queries and generally talk patiently. Some professors are extremely good too.
12) basic commodities available in the campus both for males and females( Unlike north east colleges)
13) good, better and excellent hostels with Non AC and AC rooms available but too costly
14) Regular cleanup at hostels and lecture halls
15) good classrooms with AC
16) Big campus with somewhat OK WiFi available(but wifi routers often face problems)
17) outside the classrooms there is a peace of mind and inside the class, there is good competition among students
18) transport facility is available and students are allowed to use bicycles to move in between the classes and hostels, however most prefer to walk
19) At night You can find many couples roaming around holding hands and some smooching too, so you can understand there are many female students and may be you can find love or even life partner here in MIT Manipal or around.
