Student Testimonial

The friendly faculty, amazing campus and my friends put together make my stay at MAHE, Blr a pleasant experience. When I reached the campus from my home town Tinsukia, Assam, I had several inhibitions which disappeared within few days. Very supportive faculty make my learning a pleasant experience. The industrial visits that we go to, the field trips that we have gone to so far, the learnings from the invited talks by industry experts, the guest lectures etc., has made me realise that there’s so much more to learn and I am sure that I have landed up in the right place.
Vedansh Khaitan

Coming from Dhanbad, Jharkand, with limited exposure and experiences, I am overwhelmed by the kind of events that we as students get to organize conduct and execute. I was not aware of my capabilities as an individual until I was assigned several tasks which I could execute to perfection. With the kind of exposures im getting at MAHE Blru, I know world will be my canvas and that I have unlimited potential within me.
Gungun

Being a sport enthusiast myself, I was looking to join an institution which has good sports related infra structure. I am liking every single minute that I spend indulging in different kind of sport facilities at Manipal, Bengaluru campus. Be it the basketball or cricket or football, the time I get to spend here playing out there with friends is something that I would cherish even after I pass out of this institution.

Freedom and autonomy that I have got towards organising several activities at Department of Commerce is something that has encouraged me to be my best version ever. Coming to MAHE Blr all the way from Kotma, Madhya Pradesh was the best decision that I have taken so far as MAHE provides ample learning opportunities for students like me to excel at. Be it organising several events and activities or giving us an opportunity to learn from the accomplished personalities, my department encourages and motivates us to always put our best foot forward. Thank you DoC for the opportunities so far and the learnings too!
