i've seen a lot of pppl shitting on srishti, but i thoguht u would share what ik about it bsaed on my reseqarch and talking to past graduates, current students and proffessors.
i am also just applying to colleges, but in my opinion srishti seems to be really good, so if ur doubting it for reasons other than the fees
most of negative things (other than fees ofc) are about the management and th e quality decling after they joined manipal, but the professors have said that it affects them more than the students. they have more backend, administrative changes, but the stidents remain unaffected.
the quality of the facilities has also improvedx and even of the profs.
the students are really happy., its just you need to take a little more initiative
but the course load is also managable if you want to work part time/ freelance in the side
