Start with the cohort data, not a headline
The most comparable official figures in the saved source set are in MIT Manipal’s submission for the National Institutional Ranking Framework’s 2025 Engineering assessment. The submission names Manipal Institute of Technology and institute code IR-E-C-7252. It reports outcomes for two programme groups: UG four-year programmes and PG two-year programmes. Those are institution-level groups, not separate results for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics or any other branch. The latest graduating year shown in that submission is 2023-24, so this is dated evidence rather than a result for the 2027-28 incoming class. NIRF 2025 submission
For the UG four-year group, NIRF lists students graduating in the minimum stipulated time, students placed, median salary among placed graduates per year, and students selected for higher studies:
The percentage column is a simple calculation: the reported placed count divided by the reported number graduating in minimum stipulated time, rounded to one decimal place. It is a transparent way to compare the two counts shown in this table. It is not a placement rate among students who registered with the placement office, sat for interviews or were eligible for a particular employer. The NIRF table does not provide those participation denominators, branch-level counts or offer-level details, so the ratios should not be read as any of them.
In the latest of these three UG cohorts, the reported placed count is higher than in the first row, while the median is lower than the middle row. That is why a single “placement percentage” or one salary headline can hide changes in cohort size and outcome mix. The three-year sequence is more informative than an isolated maximum, but it still describes an institution-wide programme group rather than an individual student’s likely result.
Compare like groups and keep the salary measure straight
The PG two-year programme group is reported separately. Do not combine it with the UG figures or assume that this table represents a particular postgraduate degree without checking the programme-level reporting scope. In the same NIRF submission, its cohorts are:
These percentages use the same calculation and limitation as the UG table: placed graduates divided by those graduating in minimum stipulated time. The denominator changes across the three reported cohorts, and the table does not say how many students participated in placements, were seeking work, declined an offer or accepted more than one offer before joining. Treat the calculated ratios as a reading aid for the stated fields, not as a probability that an applicant will receive an offer.
NIRF’s salary column is the median salary of placed graduates per annum. It is not the mean, the highest package, a guaranteed starting salary or the amount every placed student receives. In the reported UG group, the median rose from ₹8,00,000 in 2021-22 to ₹8,88,250 in 2022-23, then was ₹8,50,000 in 2023-24. The PG group’s reported medians were ₹7,46,460, ₹7,50,000 and ₹7,50,000 across the same graduating years. These are nominal reported rupee amounts; the captured table does not adjust them for inflation or explain whether compensation includes variable pay, joining bonuses or other components. Do not use the difference between the UG and PG medians to rank branches or programmes: the two groups have different course lengths, cohort sizes and programme mixes.
The higher-studies counts are reported alongside placements, but the submitted fields do not provide a full destination breakdown. They do not establish how many graduates entered each kind of employment, pursued further study after working, were still searching, or chose another route. For decision-making, this makes the table useful for tracking reported outcomes over time and limited for predicting an individual’s result.
Use current campus information carefully
MIT Manipal’s official overview currently displays a separate placement summary: 300+ recruiting companies, 50 Fortune 500 companies, a highest domestic CTC of 69.5 LPA and a highest international CTC of ₹2.19 crore. Those figures appear on the institute overview alongside a link labelled “MIT Internships and Placements.” The captured page does not date the headline figures or supply cohort denominators beside them. Read them as undated institutional summary claims, not as part of the NIRF 2025 cohort table, a current batch result, or a median salary. The highest CTC values are maxima, not typical outcomes. Official MIT Manipal overview
For a branch or career decision, request the exact graduating year and programme, the number graduating, the number eligible and participating, the number placed, and the salary measure used. Ask whether domestic and international compensation are shown separately, whether figures include fixed and variable components, and whether internships are counted separately from full-time offers. A report should identify the campus and the programme group; a Manipal-wide or MAHE-wide summary may combine categories that are not comparable to the branch you are considering.
Before using a placement number in a return-on-cost comparison, set it beside the course’s own fee and duration, your intended branch, and the cohort year. The tables here can support a historical MIT Manipal comparison through 2023-24 for NIRF’s two programme groups. They cannot establish a 2027-28 placement forecast, branch-wise package, current recruiter list, internship conversion rate or individual offer probability. Those details need a dated, programme-specific placement report from the institute. The official overview is useful for locating MIT’s placement information, while the NIRF submission supplies the dated counts and medians reproduced above; each source answers a different question.
