I have been asked similar questions a lot of times, Amity or Manipal? VIT or Manipal? BITS or Manipal? And many more. I will try to settle it for once and all.
I did my MBA from Manipal and there is one thing I can tell you for sure, Manipal has best faculties, infrastructure, and facilities for students which you won’t be able to get at any of the college mentioned above, be it Amity, BITS, or VIT. I have been to the campuses of Amity, BITS, Manipal and VIT and I found Manipal way ahead than these universities. The kind of facilities and support from the University, students are getting here is world class. I request you to visit all of these universities before joining then only you will see the difference. Very recently Manipal University is ranked way above than BITS in QS World University Ranking 2019. VIT and Amity are not even in the world ranking list, so I don’t think we should compare them with Manipal.
It means Manipal is the best private university in India. So coming back to your question YES Manipal is way better than Amity, BITS or VIT.
