Manipal Academy of Higher Education - MAHE - MU Speciality : Accounting & Finance
programme: Accounting

Academics: So, my degree is a B.com Honors in Accounting from the 2018-2021 batch. The course is affiliated with the ACCA program, a professional course of the accounting body of the UK that has signing authorities in more than 150 countries.
Faculty is good their are teachers with more than 15 years of teaching experience, if you have any doubts you can always reach out to them at their respective offices and cabins.
The exam Structure is designed according to the ACCA program and as 9 paper is exempted and those 9 papers course structure and exam structure has been adapted and mixed with the syllabus of the Subjects of the UG degree program.
The teaching is good but somewhat lacks practical knowledge is more of traditional style and not of the level of ACCA as the students wo will give the ACCA exams after graduating and getting 9 paper exemptions will face difficulties as the level of ACCA is way different.
Placements : The placements for our batch took place during the Covid era so the opportunities was not that much especially for Accounting and Finance field. There were placements in the Marketing and sales field, their were few students who opted for placements, most of the students were more interested in pursuing higher studies. So overall for those students who went for placements the rate was good and average package aorund 5-7 LPA
College Infrastructure: College infrastructure is good especially the dome building and the garden area they are constantly expanding the college infrastructure and you will have a great time while having a walk in the University. The facilities are good, you have all the facilities you needed WIFI, Classes with projectors, Well furnished.
Campus life: Manipal University has lots of fests there are fests from different departments that happen frequently once every month or two, there are plenty of nice clubs you can join and participate in different kinds of activities from showcasing your talent to contributing towards society however all the activities starts from the evening so there is a bit disadvantage to the Day scholars. As a Hostler you will definitely have a fun time there.
Value for Money: To be honest the facilities and college infrastructure are all good but it is costly the hostel fees is a bit too expensive the B.com honors accounting degree program fees was not that much costly but again if you do ACCA along with it it will cost you registration as well as exemption fees too so it depends on individual to individual.

Manipal University has state of the art infrastructure, a very vibrant college life with students from across the country. My time as a student at Manipal University in B.Com (Hons) in Accounting was a fine experience, where I had the platform to build my skills and knowledge in Accounting with the help from supportive and experienced faculty. I had the opportunity to also pursue the ACCA qualification along my Bachelor’s thereby strengthening my core in the subject and making me employable in the job market.

With the global brand that Manipal is and the expectation it brings when a student first comes here, they can certainly do better to improve the network with employers and other universities providing student first hand practical experience and opportunity through internships or exchange programs. Furthermore, I think the syllabus and course structure should be designed in a manner that students should be encouraged to participate in activities outside the classroom which can enhance learning and develop practical skills. I feel the University should also strive to better their alumni relations leveraging their global network which can be benefit for the students and the brand of the University. Overall, it was a good experience but i would like to see it strive to reach its potential of being one of the finest universities in the country

I am doing a course called Bcom(Hons.) In accounting integrated with ACCA. It’s a course where you will get an opportunity to complete ACCA along with your bachelor’s degree also it gives you 9 paper exemption on ACCA. The professors in this university is good. Also the college has good Library.

Manipal has its pros and cons in academics and other activities. In terms of academics, it provides a reasonably good faculty and resources but still lacks in some aspects like having a good learning environment. In terms of other activities, you can only fully participate in them if you live near the campus which is in the outskirts of the city. Otherwise, the facilities are great
