Well, both the universities have a reputation of their own. But if you are willing to develop yourself as an individual during your undergrads, you will love Manipal University Jaipur. I have friends there at Nirma & I’ve got enough insights about it to be able to put up this answer.
Reasons why one would want to choose Manipal University Jaipur are:
» Nirma is more like a community college as it has students mostly from Gujarat. Nirma is at a 2-minute walking distance from my home but I chose to move out of my comfort and opted for Manipal University Jaipur. And I can tell you it has been worth it. Manipal University Jaipur has students from all over the country. So while in the hostel you not only get to enjoy the amazing infrastructure but also get to meet people from various backgrounds.
» While most of the top universities in India & Nirma University is still rated by NAAC with an A grade, Manipal University Jaipur has been rated A+ by NAAC. This rating is calculated on the following factors:
※ Curricular Aspects
※ Teaching-Learning and Evaluation
※ Research, Consultancy and Extension
※ Infrastructure and Learning Resources
※ Student Support and Progression
※ Governance, Leadership and Management
※ Innovations and Best Practices
