CSFT and MnC in Manipal campus

Do these branches deviate a lot from core cse in terms of syllabus?

What is the scope of these branches and are high placement stats expected for these courses?

Is it possible for these students to sit for core software development placements?

Is MnC only for those who want to get into research/higher studies? Do people go for SWE jobs after pursuing this course?

I got 63** rank in MET. Do I stand a chance for any of these branches?
