Projects: Student projects like Parikshit (satellite team), MRM (Mars Rover), RoboManipal, AeroMIT, and SolarMobil are doing great and are considered among the world's top university teams.
Placements: Placements are on the rise, with big names like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Dell, and Seagate recruiting from the campus.
