2026 Placement Packages: VIT, SRM, Manipal Compared

New data released by Careers360 puts the 2026 placement outlook of three flagship institutes—VIT, SRM University, and Manipal University—side by side, revealing stark variations in salary ranges and recruitment patterns.

The report notes that while VIT boasts consistent offers from tech giants with averages hovering around ₹10‑12 lakh per annum, SRM shows a broader spread with some students securing packages above ₹15 lakh. Manipal, on the other hand, maintains a stable setup, with most fresh graduates receiving offers within the ₹8‑10 lakh bracket. Internships and industry tie‑ups also differ, influencing the overall experience.

These disparities are likely to influence prospective students’ decisions, as the attractiveness of a program increasingly hinges on the potential earnings post‑graduation. Nonetheless, all three institutions continue to uphold competitive placement trends, keeping Udupi’s higher‑education landscape vibrant. Source: Google News – Manipal.
