Is branch change possible at MANIT - Bhopal?
yes, branch change is possible at MANIT Bhopal after your first year — but here's the honest picture:
- done after Year 1 based on first-year CGPA and available vacant seats in the target branch
- need ~9.0 CGPA for EE, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical branches
- need ~9.5 CGPA for CSE or ECE (the most in-demand)
- only 10% of the original branch strength can transfer — so if CSE has 60 seats, max 6 students can move in total
- HS/OS quota is maintained during transfer (open seats can go to reserved category, but not vice versa)
what most answers miss — the realistic success rate for CSE specifically is extremely low. maybe 2-4 students in the entire batch actually manage to get CSE branch change each year. vacant seats are rare because CSE doesn't have many dropouts. MANIT has reduced the number of allowed transfers over the years too.
tbh, treat branch change as a pleasant possibility, not a plan. join MANIT with the mindset of making the best of whatever branch you get. a lot of students waste their first year stressing about branch change instead of building skills — which backfires both ways.

I would like to add on to the previous answer and mention a few important points regarding branch change at MANIT Bhopal-
- The HS and OS quota are maintained during branch change.
- The Open category seats can be claimed by SC/ST/OBC students with better scores, but not vice versa.
- Only 10% students from the original strength can opt for transfer from their branch.
- The number of vacant seats has reduced over the years, making branch change more and more difficult.
- I would advise you to choose your branch wisely from the beginning itself. It is highly probable that you end up with the same branch for four years.
Try to make the most of your stay at MANIT, and choose your field of study wisely.

I had the same query a year ago, but now I am eligible to answer this question. A week ago, I got my branch changed from MSME to CSE.
Here is some information regarding branch change at MANIT Bhopal-
- Branch change is done after a year, against vacant seats in a branch.
- For branch change, you need to work very hard and score well in the first year.
- Your first year CGPA will be considered during branch change. Maintain a CGPA close to 9 for core branches(EE, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical), and around 9.5 for soft tech branches (CSE, ECE).
- Adhere to the semester curriculum, maintain a good reputation in front of your professors, and work sincerely for your mini, mid and end sem exams. Scoring well at MANIT isn’t a very difficult task.
- Even with a good CGPA, you may not get a branch slide. Your chances depend on the number of vacant seats for your category in that branch.
It is not very difficult to get your branch changed at MANIT. However, you’ll have to work hard for it.
