Hey, hope you are doing well!

No, this is not true. Manipal Institute of Technology has never taught their students through recorded video lectures. This year in covid 19 situations also the university is giving online classes to its students not recorded video lectures.

There is facility for you to avail some of the extra courses through Coursera online classes but the regular main subjects are not taught through recorded lectures. The professors take regular classes.

So, Manipal Institute of Technology doesn't teach through recorded video lectures.

(I have confirmed this from the students who passed out this year itself)
