Good morning sir My daughter is getting Biotechnology at Manipal campus and CSE at Manipal bangalore campus. Kindly advise what to prefer
Ans: Alka Madam, Manipal’s Biotechnology program at the main campus is well-established, with strong research orientation, MoUs with leading biotech firms, and placements in core companies like Biocon, Dr. Reddy’s, and Philips Health Care; graduates often pursue MS/PhD at top global universities, but core biotech roles typically require higher studies, and average placement rates and salaries are modest compared to IT. Manipal Bangalore’s CSE program is newer but benefits from its location in India’s tech hub, 90–95% placement rates, an average package of ?10–12 LPA, and top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia, with a curriculum aligned to current industry needs and strong infrastructure. While Biotechnology at Manipal offers a pathway to research and global academia, CSE at Manipal Bangalore provides faster, more lucrative placements and broader career options in IT, AI, and software, with immediate industry relevance and strong internship opportunities.
Recommendation: Prefer CSE at Manipal Bangalore for better placement prospects, industry exposure, and career flexibility, unless your daughter is deeply passionate about research and advanced studies in biotechnology. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
