Manipal is good , and has widespread outlook in terms of courses over most of the government universities but also that it is not economical for a middle class family because they provide high quality education and placement but with a awe-some price tag with it !
My friends are from Manipal engg and cherish their stay with manipal even now , after pursuing MBA with top B-Schools of india .
Summary , every college of that fame gives a once in a lifetime experience
