As far as academics are concerned, SPA Bhopal is better in my opinion. This is backed by the fact that SPA Bhopal requires higher JEE Paper 2 ranks for admission into its B.Arch program. Additionally, SPAs are dedicated to Architecture and Planning studies. So they have a higher branch value in the field of Architecture.
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.
Among the institutes mentioned, IIIT Allahabad is a better alternative for Bioinformatics. One of my friends was also going through this same situation a few years back and he chose IIIT Allahabad. His experience at the institute has been quite good over the past 4 years.
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions.

Highlights:
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.
Here is all you need to know about the environment at MANIT-
Though MANIT has its fair share of shortcomings, it is a good place for growth and learning. Also, in the past few years, things have changed a lot for the better.
As a former student at MANIT Bhopal, here are my tips to prepare you for campus placements-
Take your placement drive seriously. Once you are out of college, life will get tougher, and you’ll have to compete against people from various backgrounds/institutions.
As a fresher at MANIT Bhopal, I am eligible to answer this question.
First-year boys get Hostel 10 at MANIT. After you submit your fees during the counseling, they'll ask whether you need the hostel or not. On saying yes, they'll point you to two members of the hostel authority. These people will ask for a photocopy of your ID and fee receipt. After submitting the mess fee for the first two months, you’ll have to go to Hostel 10 for the room allotment process.
The warden office is where these allotments take place. They'll ask for a photocopy of your ID and fee receipt. After this, they'll assign you the room and give you a mess card. Freshers get blocks C and D. Each block has 4 floors, and each floor has 32 rooms. The rooms are two-seater, but due to lack of accommodation, three students share a single room. The rooms (except those on the ground floor) have a balcony each and are decent.
This is the entire procedure for the allotment of hostels for fresher boys at MANIT Bhopal.
IIT Tag is far more acceptable than NIT. We generally say that NIT and IITs are similar but in reality, it’s exactly the opposite. The first preference is given to IIT and then it is followed by NIT. If you really want to go for a brand then opt for IIT Dhanbad and if not and really want to be a core programmer opt for IIIT Allahabad.
Let’s take a look IIIT Allahabad (IT) and NIT Bhopal (CSE) as they are almost similar. But besides placements there are some other factors, which one should consider and are as follows:
According to the above statistics, this should be your choice of preference - IIIT Allahabad (IT)>ISM Dhanbad (CSE) >NIT Bhopal (CSE)
Also, if you are opting for higher studies, then Dhanbad has more opportunities than in NIT Bhopal. Labs and infrastructure are better as compared to NIT Bhopal but Dhanbad has an open campus and anyone can enter there. Considering all these factors, the choice should be - Dhanbad CSE > NIT Bhopal CSE. Also, you just can't neglect an IIT tag yourself.
MANIT Bhopal is not the best for an MBA. It doesn't deliver good placements and education in this field. But MANIT will give you better exposure and facilities than other colleges in Bhopal.
I would suggest you prepare well for the CAT and opt for a college dedicated to Management Studies. This will give your career a much better start.
