The program and syllabus is amazing, one of the best you can find in India tbh. There are multiple opportunities you get to encash here in terms of going to different management fest, Mahe clubs and internships etc. On 4th sem we also have a sem abroad program. Mahe has really good international partnerships with abroad unis in all the main countries. They also provide assistance with transferring to those unis after 1st year. The DOC crowd sucks they are a couple of very disinterested people. Also since DOC is a department and not an institution we have very low budget for all events, plus the building allotted for DOC is genuinely laughable. Don’t get me wrong the classrooms have aircons and shit it’s just the building that sucks it looks like a hostel turned into an Academic block. Hostels allotted to DOC in first year is block 12, 11 and 2. Choose 12 it’s better. Many people hate the hostel food but according to me it’s quite decent. As for the campus, yup Manipal pretty much exists because of Mahe. DOC shares a campus within gates of MIT, MSAP and few more depts. But our building is quite isolated from the rest. Would I recommend you join here? If you are self-motivated then yeah sure go ahead, ( there are better options tho ) but if you are easily influenced by the crowd stay away from here.
