No, you should prefer MNNIT for CSE. It is better compared to IIT Mandi. You can benefit a lot from the competitive coding culture on the MNNIT campus. The seniors are very helpful. You will get to learn many useful coding hacks from them. It offers good placement opportunities as well. According to 2021 placement highlights, MNNIT CSE average CTC is INR 19.08 LPA.
It is suggested that you should be a little cautious and do not get carried away simply by the IIT tag. Some of my friends studied in both IIT Mandi and MNNIT, and according to them, MNNIT is much better than the former.
Here are some things they feel that makes MNNIT better -
