Hey guys I'm back(yea yea!!). Well, today was the JEE results, but I wasn't expecting anything to begin with, so I'm not disappointed. Here's what I got till now:

1. Manipal rank 1501(1st counselling)
2. VIT rank 8394(3rd counselling)

Now These asshole pvt institutes are gonna sap off our money before the aieee results come out(7th june, counselling from 23rd june), and I gotta make a choice. My course choices in any order are the following:

1. Comp Sci
2. IT
3. Electronics and Comm.
4. Electrical and Electronics

Now I need you guy's help to guide me here as to which college has which course as their strengths. I have to make a choice between one of these 2, I can't and most probably wont go for both.

Please guys make haste..

VIt is better reason being good rank in india and they have way better placement than manipal and even cheaper than manipal too
 
Both are good, the final choice is yours and i guess it's going to cost you a bomb to study there as compared to other univs. Best of luck!

I have heard that in Manipal there is combined hostel of boys and girls is it true? :P

where exactly do you get good rank, Outlook ranks VIT at 43 or 45, Manipal at 37.

Feels of both are same(VIT's hostel and food charges are 5star high)

Well, I'm still banking on NIT, but I'll be going only to one of these two I mentioned for counselling. Still deciding which one.
 
VIT only bribes to get its rankings. VIT < = MIT in every possible respect. There is not a single aspect where Manipal loses to VIT, whether it be placements or salaries, or professors or education, or environment or fun or anything at all. If you don't get Manipal, you can consider VIT.
 
Well I have completed my graduation from VIT, Vellore - B.Tech, CSE. And my cousin brother have studied from MAHE, Manipal.

You have to keep in consideration various aspects while choosing to take admission in one the two colleges.

Vellore Institute of Technology:-

VIT - Besides Vellore Campus, they have recetly opened campus in Chennai as well, they might be pushing
students to chennai campus through the counselling as well.
As far as Vellore campus is considered well its undoubtebly the best - as far as college in southern reason are considered
(I have visited many of them during tech fests so I know). The infrastructure facilities are pretty good. As far as quality of faculty
goes well I will mark them as average.

The hostels, well they have more area/ buildings for boys hostel than the College Campus/building!! And the new hostels are really
beutifull, there tarrif ranges from as low as 18k for 4 bedded rooms to 41k for single bedded a/c(including electricity charges).
Food unlike what you said is much cheaper, at the time I was there it was 30k per year for north indian veg mess, I have only
seen/ heard of costlier mess charges at other colleges....../ You have paid wifi service, ofc they are costlier than the plans you can get
outside, but atleast its not some crapped up low bandwidth connection you might get for free in other collegges.

The tution-fees for me was 65k, however its increased to 97k per year now.

The best part is its placements. VIT`s placement is undoubtebly top notch with almost all eligible student getting placed,
I only have had heard it from the seniors, but when I saw it happening quite well even during recession and during my time when
recession was drying down. I have to believe it XD
Manipal, MAHE

Manipal have various branches in India - Sikkim, Mangalore..... The Mangalore one is by far the best among them.

Now there building and infrastructure is amazingly beautifull. The place around is amazing - high fi, lots of restaurants, hitech bars/ discs around the college campus.
Supa-dupa hostels, centrally airconditioned. Good facility. Really really hawt chicks in the college(thanks to heavy donations they charge which only those
fat ass parents are ready to pay anyways). But inorder to pay for enjoy all this, your parent have to bleed from nose - There tution fess is around 1,50,000k and there
hostels fees ranges from 60k and above based on the type of hostel - single/ double/ singele a/c / double a/c etc etc.

Faculty, I will say is average, not the best to talk about. There might be few known profs here and there, but that it.

Placements, well there process of placements is delayed process, and they do lack in placing there students effectively. My brothere suffered till late - to finally get placed,
plus you dont have much great opportunities of placement to good companies (such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, ebay, Cisco, Amazon, IOCL) unlike VIT.
Now as far as, it comes down to you specifically, well you may get a slot in IT or even CSE department as far as VIT is considered (I presume the next counsellig is on 6th June),
Manipal your rank seem to be good, so might get good department rightforth.

So eventaully it boils down to one thing, whats your choice -> "Fun" or "Future"
Regards!!

Its 17k/year at Manipal itself, in the AC mess. its even less in other messes.
The tution when I started studying was 65k, now probably its increased to 97k per year btw.

However, the best part is its placements. VIT`s placement is undoubtebly top notch with almost all eligible student getting placed,

Manipal, MAHE

Its not Mangalore, its Manipal. Manipal is a different city
Now there building and infrastructure is amazingly beautifull. The place around is amazing lots of restaurants, hitech bars/ discs around the college campus.
Supadupa hostels, centrally airconditioned. Good facility. Really really hawt chicks in the college(thanks to heavy donations they charge which only those
fat ass parents are ready to pay anyways -- You have been misinformed). But inorder to pay for enjoy all this, your parent have to bleed from nose - There tution fess is around 1,50,000k and there hostels fees ranges from 60k and above based on the type of hostel - single/ double/ singele a/c / double a/c etc etc.
You do realise that the 60k price you say is including the security deposit, mess charges for 1 year, electricity,etc.. refer to charges here ( http://manipalthetalk.files.wordpre...000500198904_884279_6014482_n.jpg?w=614&h=460 )
Faculty, I will say is average, not the best to boast about.

Placements, well there process of placements is delayed process, and they do lack in placing there students effectively. My brothere suffered till late - to finally get placed,
plus you dont have much great opportunities of placement to good companies (such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, ebay, Cisco, Amazon, IOCL) unlike VIT.
Again, unless you have pending backs, you get 100% placement within the 7th sem itself. The proportion of students in CSE placed in MRC's are a bit high (about 60-70%), but a significant number do get placed in core companies

Now as far as, it comes down to you specifically, well you may get a slot in IT or even CSE department as far as VIT is considered (I presume the next counsellig is on 6th June),
Manipal your rank seem to be good, so might get good department there as well.
You will get CSE in MIT at that rank

Ok, so fees is 1.5 times of VIT, but then you get AC classes and awesome labs as well..

You will get CSE @ MIT.(or any other branch you want)

Also, in Manipal you can withdraw later if you want to.

They will return your documents after the conuselling (if you ask for them).
Then you can attend AIEEE counselling. If you get in somewhere through AIEEE, you can get a fee refund from MIT (They will subtract about Rs 10k)
 
These colleges are expensive!! I would still be repaying my student loan if I had studied at one of these places. (And I have been out of college some 6 years now.)
 
Even if you don't get into an NIT there dozens of GEC's and other reputed old engineering colleges to choose from in Karnataka, TN and Kerala from when you can get better education+placements for far less money than M/VIT. Go for these colleges only if you did really badly in the other entrance exams(which I doubt is the case with you). The early counselling dates are just a scam by these colleges to get insecure candidates to part with their money.
 
From what I have gathered off Manipal as well as VIT from ex-students, Manipal is for a flambouyant life style, something like shown in films. VIT is hip too, but not to that extent, and the academics actually have some place in their routine, unlike at Manipal, where the company of super rich might be a case of bother for the not so affluent ones.

CET- College of Engineering Trivandrum is as good as NIT Calicut except for the college culture.

GEC Thrissur is also a good college.

@chiron which college??

[OT] Good to see guys from Calicut [/OT]

Not really.. The super rich are useful for financing your food/trips/etc.. in exchange for notes.:bleh:
Its a symbiotic relationship

That said, Manipal is not nearly as conservative as VIT or Amrita university, but its not like we dont study..(4 sets of exams per semester force you to study, even if you dont want to)

Unfortunately weather is pathetic in Manipal. its either Hot and humid, or hot and humid. It may also be hot and humid sometimes.
 
Well, to be honest. If 10L-15L on a 4 year education pinches you, then these places may not be the right place for you, especially Manipal. Because most students here come from a family where spend tens of lacs on education is the norm and affordable. So you will find yourself out of place.

Having said that, Manipal > VIT any day. I have read an incident where Google visited VIT and took 0 students because their education was sub par. On the other hand, Schlumberger is known to give 13.5L packages to Manipal students.

Blindly go for Manipal, you won't regret the experience. As far as placements go, it barely makes a difference but again Manipal has an upper hand I guess. But even if it didn't, placements shouldn't be a critera among colleges of the same league because all of them are more or less equally good or bad.

Manipal will have you enjoy your 4 years and you won't regret it. But you definitely need to spend at least 1.5-2 times the 10L bill to enjoy your college life. :P
 
Yup, its a well know fact that its impossible to enjoy college life without lacs of rupees to throw around.

I'm expecting near 200 in aieee, which puts near 10-12,000 rank. Not sure, but lets see the results are on 7th.

Hmm, I hear ya. But one thing, with the 8394 rank in VIT, will i be getting any good course(I dont want civil) at all? The last I heard(he is 2nd year VIT student), upto 6k rankers get a good course(and that too may not be their choice).

Whereas in Manipal my biggest advantage is choice, I can choose any course. Also, I know that Manipal's fees is higher, but so are the features(AC everywhere is nice, and WiFi is available to all upto 10GB, I'll take a 3G data card if I need anyways)

EDIT:

And I know the fees are high, that's why I'm banking on an NIT

NIT's 4 years fees = Manipal's 1 year fees
 
If you need to take a loan to pay it off, it is going to be really tough because this isn't an IIT/IIM. But as long as you don't need to pay it back, spend on the experience and you will not regret it.

Around 10-12k you can get DCE or some IIITs. Take them!
 
DCE is out, wont get any good course, but I think I'll cut for the 3,4,5th ranking NITs, I hope so. IIIT yeah, BIT Mesra, MNIT Jaipur, all on my hitlist.

EDIT:

I won't need a loan, but really, I think least I can give out of my preparation, to my parents, is a good college with sane fees.
