My sister is pursuing MPH from IIPH and the University of Hyderabad. She is going to graduate in April of 2022. MPH in both Manipal and IIPH is structured in the same manner.
Here are the advantages of IIPH though:
- IIPH has is a public health organization and it aims towards public health only.
- Most of the IIPH professors are serving as guest faculty of Manipal too. You can assume the quality of education these professors offer.
- IIPH courses are cost-effective too when you compare them to Manipal's.
- You will discover brilliant Faculty members at IIPH like the esteemed epidemiologist Dr. Raghupathy Achla; Dr. Rajan Shukla of Health Policy and Dr. Nand Kishore Kannuri.
- If you compare IIPH's faculty with any other institute's, then only TISS gets the upper hand.
As for working abroad, there are good chances but if you plan to work for India, then be aware of the ground realities because it's very different. The placement rate is about 80% but if you have the requisite skills then you should not worry at all.
