Which college is better: the RV College of Engineering or the MIT Manipal for civil engineering?
I have friends from both RV College of Engineering and MIT Manipal, civil engineering holds the same value from either of them. It is because they both follow the same curriculum and guidelines laid by UGC and AICTE. However, both of them hold an edge over each other in their own way. Here’s why:
- MIT Manipal holds a bigger brand value as civil engineering was one of the branches it started and is known for. Other such branches include chemical and mechanical.
- If you are looking for better placements, RV College might be the right choice as it is located in Bangalore which clearly means more opportunities.
- Even if you are getting a computer science branch in MIT Manipal, go for it without a second thought.
The table below shows a brief insight of both institutes:

Which is better for a B.Tech in Computer Science: MIT Manipal, IIIT Sri City (Chittoor), or IIIT Guwahati?
I know a few students at IIIT Guwahati and therefore, I would try to answer your question.
IIIT Guwahati is the highest-ranked IIIT among all the other IIITs by NIRF 2020. This is a huge achievement because it was established in 2013 under the Public-Private Partnership by the Government of India. It is growing rapidly.
The CSE program at IIIT Guwahati is very well-developed meeting the standards of an IIT. The institute provides a good research facility. Also, in the first year, the course is the same for CSE and ECE.
Here is a brief overview of the CSE program offered by these three institutes.

Which one is better, Manipal Institute of Technology or the RV College of Engineering?
Many people would suggest RVCE over MIT mostly because of the quality of faculty members. The faculty for CSE at Manipal Institute of Technology is pretty bad. You have to do all the studying yourself. You can't rely on more than a couple of faculty members for projects. Hence, the institute is not good if you're looking to do a lot of projects.
Since RV College of Engineering is in Bangalore, you are more in the loop and connected to the industry. If you choose to get into research, you have IISc and IIITB situated in the city. If you choose to get a job, there are tons of startups and companies recruiting freshers frequently throughout the year.
If you look at both the colleges with non-academic perspectives, you can feel that RV College of Engineering still has an edge over Manipal Institute of Technology.
If you like the feel of a small town, you might feel better in Manipal as Bangalore is a crowded city with a metropolitan outlook. The choice can be pretty tough while choosing between Manipal Institute of Technology and RV College of Engineering as both the colleges have an extremely good reputation among Indian Engineering colleges.
Which University is better for Engineering: MIT Manipal or PEC Chandigarh?
Based on what I learned from my friends at these two institutes, I will recommend that you choose MIT Manipal. Many students and faculty in the industry argue that MIT graduates are doing much better than many of their IIT and NIT peers. The reason behind this is the well-rounded personality development you get to experience at MIT Manipal.
- Campus Life: The campus life is hassle-free, unlike many other private colleges, there are no base-less rules in place. The infrastructure at MIT is great. The sports facilities offered at MARENA Manipal are one of the best in the locality. The hostel and mess facilities offered are quite good too.
- Coding Culture: The institute has a great coding culture. There are various clubs like ACM Manipal, IECSE, MIST, LUG that helps you develop coding skills. Many coding competitions, hackathons, are organized around the academic year, some of these include Microsoft Code Fun Do, AngelHack, etc. The institute also witnessed the launch of many start-ups.
- Projects: Various student projects like Parikshit (student satellite team), MRM (Mars Rover Manipal), RoboManipal, AeroMIT, SolarMobil are doing quite well and are considered among the top 5 university team in the world.
- Placements: The institute is witnessing an upward placement curve with reputed MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Dell, Seagate visiting the campus.
- Higher Studies: You can easily spot MIT alumni pursuing higher studies at reputed universities like MIT Boston, Harvard, UCLA, Stanford, Cornell, etc. Manipal has various coaching centers for GRE/GMAT preparations.
- Alumni: The institute boasts of successful alumni. Satya Nadella, Rajeev Suri are some of the names worth mentioning.
- Branch Strength: The total branch strength of the first year for MIT is around 2000. The compact branch size is another plus point for MIT.
- No Management Quota: Another important aspect that makes MIT stand out among other institutes is the lack of management quota. 95% of the admission at MIT is done based on merit and the other 5% is through the NRI quota. So, you will have a better peer group.
Going by the above factors it is safe to say that MIT Manipal is a great choice for an engineering degree.
Which university is better in terms of international reputation, Manipal University or VIT?
There are currently no other higher education institutions in India that have the same level of international recognition and reputation as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). However, it is important to note that the IIT brand is losing its sheen in recent years due to various factors.
One of the primary reasons for this is the poor quality of graduates produced by the IITs. While the IITs are renowned for their academic rigor and high standards, many employers have reported that IIT graduates lack practical skills and are unable to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. This has led to a perception that IITs are more focused on producing academics than industry-ready professionals.
Another reason for the decline in the IIT brand is the changing demands of the industry. As technology and business practices evolve rapidly, employers are increasingly looking for graduates with diverse skill sets and experiences. While IITs have traditionally focused on producing graduates in the fields of engineering and technology, the industry now demands professionals with expertise in areas such as data analytics, design, and management.
Lastly, the mushrooming of IITs across the country has diluted the brand value of the institution. With the establishment of new IITs in recent years, the IIT brand has become more accessible and commonplace, leading to a perception that it is no longer exclusive or elite.
In conclusion, while the IITs remain a popular brand outside India, their reputation has been declining in recent years due to various factors such as poor quality graduates, changing demands of the industry, and dilution of the brand through the establishment of new IITs. Despite this, the IITs continue to be a highly respected and prestigious institution in India and around the world.
What is the better option between IIIT Vadodara and MIT, Manipal?
If you want to either choose between CSE or IT, then going for IIIT Vadodara will be a better option. IIIT Vadodara is a government-run institute, while MIT Manipal is a private university.
- However, IIIT Vadodara cannot provide you with the same facilities as MIT Manipal can, since it is a newly developed institute and is at present running on a temporary campus. Yet, it has shown noticeable changes in its development. The curriculum precisely concentrates on subjects that are related to either CSE or IT.
- Now, when talking about the fee structure of each institute, MIT Manipal has almost double the fees as opposed to IIIT Vadodara, since it is a private university.
- Moreover, the average package at IIIT Vadodara has also seen a potential hike to around 6.5 Lacs in the year 2019 from 4 Lacs in the year 2017. It was its first placement session. However, the average package at MIT Manipal is nearly about 5.5 to 6 Lacs.
Here is a brief highlight of both of the institutes according to the 2020 placement reports.

Which has a better faculty in civil engineering, Manipal Institute of Technology or UPES, Dehradun?
One of my cousins is a recent graduate from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) and mentions that the department of Civil engineering is among the oldest departments of all. Here are some factors that you should know about it.
- Alongside the newer faculty members, who are both professional and easy-going, the institute also has old faculty members who are well experienced as well. However, at times, they can be quite strict too.
- The present HOD of civil engineering is moreover admirable as well. My cousin states the same because he sat for one of his classes.
- He mentions that the HOD is rather supportive and dynamic. He is always willing to be of help if any student needs it for their further studies.
- Professors of this department keep maintaining their decorum by all means. But, the placement stats of civil engineering has unfortunately not been great in most of the institutes nonetheless.
