NIT Bhopal: Courses, Fees, Admissions 2025, Placements & Rankings

I would like to add on to the previous answer and mention a few important points regarding branch change at MANIT Bhopal-

1. The HS and OS quota are maintained during branch change. 
2. The Open category seats can be claimed by SC/ST/OBC students with better scores, but not vice versa.
3. Only 10% students from the original strength can opt for transfer from their branch.
4. The number of vacant seats has reduced over the years, making branch change more and more difficult.
5. 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.

Ragging is still prevalent in MANIT, and it is much more serious than any other college. Those who claim that it is a zero ragging campus, consider ragging to be limited to physical assault. However, ragging includes all kinds of mistreatments and harassment.

The culture of fundas is a clear example of ragging on campus. One has to address the senior in a particular manner, and speak a lot of unnecessary things. If one doesn’t follow these fundas, there are serious consequences to it. 

Roaming around the campus post class hours results in thrashing. The seniors verbally abuse and challenge freshers, even in front of security guards and professors. As a result of this culture, freshers are completely isolated from seniors. 

It is hard to believe that such practices are prevalent in an Institute of National Importance. Some serious actions are needed to curb these harsh practices in MANIT Bhopal.

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. 

MANIT Bhopal suffered from a lot of evils in the past. However, things are swiftly improving, and the present conditions are different. 

The director of MANIT has a strong vision, and his efforts have taken the institute in a positive direction. At present, attending classes has become mandatory. Those who fall short of 75% attendance won’t be allowed to write their exams. The administration has become strict, as opposed to the laid back attitude of the past. The fresher hostels and department buildings are newly built, and in good shape. 

The campus is spread across 650 acres. The college is located in the heart of Bhopal city, allowing easy access to coaching centers for GATE, GRE, CAT, etc. There are many clubs and societies at MANIT, and ragging has become almost negligible. The placements are really good for CS, and above average for other branches. 

Thus, MANIT Bhopal is a good college, and the negative reviews are now old and redundant.

MANIT Bhopal is as beautiful as ever. After witnessing the deathly silence of the lockdown days, it has come back to life with full vigor. 

The college alumni are talked about with pride, and the faculties have developed new ways of interacting with students, post lockdown. The classes are now presentation oriented.

The new infrastructure is now functional. The college was renovated post lockdown, and Civil, Mechanical and Electrical labs were upgraded. Now the college gates have automatic levers to check the entry of four wheelers. The sports complex has a new Tennis and Badminton court, and new eateries have opened up on the college campus.

MANIT Bhopal is as vibrant as ever, and it has made a great recovery post lockdown era.

Some of my colleagues have completed their B.Tech CSE from MANIT Bhopal. 

Here are the key points based on their experience-

1. MANIT CSE has the same placement records as CSE at top NITs and IITs. Try to make the most out of the opportunities provided to you.
2. The seniors at the CSE department are very helpful.
3. An important tip for you is to not indulge in any kind of quarrel with the locals. They do not allow the MANIT students to roam around or perform any kind of mischief outside of the college campus.
4. The campus is quite huge, and cycling is the best way to move back and forth between the hostel and the classrooms.
5. The CSE professors impart useful knowledge, so attend their classes regularly .
6. In order to ace the placements, start competitive programming from semester 2 itself. 

Make the most of your stay at MANIT Bhopal and study hard from the first year itself. If you do this, you’ll find CSE at MANIT to be quite good.

As a student of MCA at MANIT Bhopal, here is my experience of this college-

From the point of view of an MCA student, this college has nothing special to offer. It is just a normal college. The classes and labs are decent, and the faculty is average. Only a few of the teachers are worthy of admiration. Do not expect much from the faculty.

The hostel facilities aren’t top notch for boys. However, a hostel has been functioning exclusively for PG boys since 2019. For girls, the hostel facilities are decent. There is a lack of friendly interactions among students for different courses. 

The placements are decent for MCA. With average technical, and excellent communication skills, you’ll get an offer for sure. But to get placed, you must have secured 60-65% in your 10th, 12th, UG and PG. If you do not fulfill this requirement, your possibility of getting placed will be very low.

Bhopal is very beautiful and enchanting. You’ll learn a lot at MANIT, and these experiences will help you throughout your life. 

I recently graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal. 

The department has experienced, helpful and friendly professors, especially Dr. S. Suresh, Dr. Sunder Pal, and Dr. K. Suresh. The contract faculty mostly focuses on your mugging up skills, but the courses taken up by permanent teachers are really interesting and knowledge providing. Around 80% of the B.Tech Chemical students are placed from the campus each year, at an average package of around 7.5 LPA. 

MANIT is a good choice for a degree in Chemical Engineering. You can consider this college for your higher studies.
