hi,

see manipal university has excellent curriculum and innovative lab for automobile engineering students , college has also many collaborations with industry where  students get hands on experience and internship, also core companies visits the campus like adany power, Omax Auto, Gujrat Chemicals, Everest, Mettl visits campus, kiit has also excellent placement record , but some of the core  companies prefer mechanical engineering branch most compare to auto mobiles, so from my point of view manipal university is better options.
