It has clearly been possible because of ardent students and few active professors in the stream of robotics, programming, and more.

Now, MANIT Bhopal is also a good college. One advantage is that it is located in Bhopal city. On the other hand, SPA Bhopal is located on the city outskirts.
For branch value, join SPA Bhopal. But for a better exposure to city life and the associated advantages, join MANIT Bhopal.

Overall, IIIT Allahabad is the potential choice as the faculty and infrastructure are good and all the previous year’s students have been placed with good packages.
MANIT Bhopal offers plenty of opportunities and exposure, and the Civil Department is very professional and highly reputed. But as far as placements are concerned, the opportunities are very limited for Civil students.
Unlike elite institutes, you won’t get direct placement offers from Mega Project Holders. The placement records are very unsatisfactory for the Civil branch. During 2022, the average package for B.Tech Civil was a mere 6.74 LPA. The maximum package was 13 LPA, the median package was 6.30 LPA, and the lowest package was 4.8 LPA.
But you’ll get plenty of time in the department to join coaching for GATE, IES, GRE, etc. Basically, it is better to work hard and try for off campus placements, or higher studies/competitive exams. Do not rely on the placement drive at the Civil department.
Thus, the placement opportunities for Civil engineers at MANIT Bhopal are very few.
MANIT Bhopal is a prestigious institute, and JEE aspirants work hard to get into it.
