Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi

The brand value of your college plays a big role in shaping your career. That being said, IIT Mandi enjoys the IIT tag and thus has a better brand name than NIT Bhopal. Additionally, the exponential growth of IIT Mandi is a testament to its credibility and is thus a preferable option to NIT Bhopal for MTech.

Here is a general comparison of both institutes

It is completely up to you as all institutes have their own set of advantages. As in IIT Mandi, there will be an IIT tag, which will help you gain admission to international institutions.

If you really want to work, IIT Mandi is better in terms of academics, as MANIT Bhopal has a very linear M.Tech. Furthermore, everything is dependent on your branch.

Categories	IIT Mandi	NIT Bhopal
Course Fee	40.25 Lakhs	1.78 lakh
Placement Percentage	90%	80-85%
Highest CTC	13 LPA	12 LPA
Average CTC	5 LPA	5.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Google and Microsoft	L&T, Deloitte, HP, HCL, etc.

In MANIT Bhopal, on the other hand, academics for M.Tech are very light, and you will earn your degree without doing any such work.

If you want to plan for the IES, then this is a good option because there is a Made Simple center in Bhopal and you will have plenty of time.

In short, IIT Mandi is better if you want to continue your schooling, but MANIT has an advantage over IIT Mandi if you want to train for competitive exams.
