CSE is the most promising B.Tech branch at MANIT Bhopal.
Companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung R&D, etc. visit the campus to recruit B.Tech CSE students, and the average package is around 17 LPA for the branch.
You’ll meet some highly talented peers in the CSE department, many of whom would’ve tried their hands at coding even prior to joining the college. You must practice coding through various online platforms in order to build a strong skill set.
This is all the information regarding the average package for B.Tech CSE at MANIT.
I will describe my experience of hostel 10, through which you’ll get an idea of the hostels at MANIT Bhopal-
B.Tech freshers are allotted Hostel 10 at MANIT. The hostel is divided into four blocks- A,B,C and D. Each block has 32 dorm rooms, two washroom complexes, two water coolers, an internal courtyard, a mess hall, two common rooms, a guest house, and a T.T. room.
The freshers stay in blocks C and D, and blocks A and B are given to senior B.Tech students. Block C and D are isolated and fenced from the other two blocks. All the rooms are well maintained and in good condition. Due to a shortage of rooms, three students share a single room, instead of two.
The hostel wifi gives decent connectivity. If lucky, you’ll have access to good wifi speed in your hostel room, otherwise, you’ll have to manage with your own internet connection. There is no LAN connectivity in the hostel at present. You can use electrical appliances as no checking takes place. If you get a back facing room in C block, you’ll have access to a serene balcony view. The common rooms are used for DJ nights, Ganesh Chaturthi, etc. We also play holi on the premises. The night view from the rooftop is mesmerizing.
Overall, the hostels at MANIT Bhopal are spacious and well maintained.
MANIT, Bhopal offers a good Computer Science Engineering course. In recent years, some new courses have been added as electives for the course. These courses include Machine Learning, Image Processing, Big Data, etc. Students can study these courses from their 3rd year. However, there are no good faculties to teach these courses in depth.
The course work includes only one programming language, i.e. C programming. It is very basic and taught by contract professors. Students are required to do two projects. Most students do Machine Learning projects.
The computer labs aren’t in good condition. You will need to do most of the work on your personal computer.
Compared to most NITs, MANIT Bhopal offers good placement opportunities for CSE. Recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc. visit the campus placements. For CSE, the average CTC stays around INR 12.5 LPA.
yes, branch change is possible at MANIT Bhopal after your first year — but here's the honest picture:
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.
During 2022, the placement records were good for B.Tech CSE, decent for ECE, and average/below average for other branches. Here are some details on the 2022 B.Tech placements at MANIT Bhopal-
The average and median packages were promising for B.Tech CSE, ECE, and to some extent, Electrical. But the situation wasn’t good for B.Tech Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy and Mechanical. For them, most of the offers lied in the category of >10 LPA.

ragging at MANIT Bhopal: all NITs have strong anti-ragging measures mandated by UGC. dedicated committees, hostel wardens, CCTV. serious ragging is rare and dealt with strictly (expulsion + FIR).
mild interaction culture (seniors calling freshers for intros) does exist in the first weeks but serious harassment is not the norm.
if you face ragging:
don't stay silent. reports at NITs are taken seriously and action is fast. speaking up protects you and your entire batch.

Both the colleges offer decent placement opportunities in various B.Tech courses. As far as the branch-wise curriculum, faculty, etc. are concerned, you should consult seniors from both these colleges to get a clearer picture.
Try to find the branch of your interest,and then research on which of the two is a better option for that particular field.
One of my friends has graduated from NIT Bhopal and knows the ins and outs of the college. Its infrastructure, its internal politics, quality of education, mess facilities, and against all odds its successful placements record.
Apart from just this, there are other factors that make NIT Bhopal more acceptable as compared to NIT Jamshedpur.
Discussions, criticizing the teachers and the grading system, curse surprise tests all this amidst “enjoying” the mess food.
As someone who just completed his first year at MANIT Bhopal, here is my opinion of my college-
MANIT has good infrastructure, serene location, and a properly functioning administration. Hostel life is really fun, and you’ll have a good time in the hostels. The college has a sports complex, a good place for sports enthusiasts.
However, senior-junior interaction is a bit tense on campus. As a first year, you’ll face a good number of unfriendly and dominating seniors. Some of the spots are restricted for freshers, and seniors are a bit threatening about it.
The seniors have created certain rules for freshers, one of which is to address them as sir/ma’am. Some seniors are good and friendly too, but a good number of them like to maintain dominance over first year students.
Life in general is good at MANIT Bhopal, but the seniors’ behavior towards first year students is highly upsetting.
I was in a similar dilemma one year back. But now, I don’t regret my decision to join this college.
Upon entering MANIT, you’ll feel a bit unsure of your decision. But after some time, you’ll start to enjoy your time at this college. The infrastructure is poor, and the senior-junior interaction is stressed during the first few months. But your relations with seniors will eventually improve, and you’ll get ample time to pursue your interests while studying one the side.
The college clubs and societies will provide you with a platform to enhance your personality. You’ll become self reliant, and learn to get things done with limited resources.
The college is located in the center of Bhopal, and all the necessities are easily accessible. Bhopal has everything, from beautiful lakes to the lively New Market. You can enjoy tea at Mata Mandir, and also eat at fancy restaurants in the DB City Mall.
The 650 acre campus is especially beautiful during the rainy season, when there is greenery all around. The academics is good compared to other similar NITs. The labs are old, but the new classrooms are good. The college placements are great, and Bhopal will give you easy access to coaching centers for GATE, UPSC, CAT, etc.
MANIT Bhopal is a good place which offers ample freedom and lots of opportunities. You can consider this college for higher studies.
