The infrastructure of a college is one of the major concerns for a fresher but after a year it doesn't matters much as a good infrastructure doesn't mean that it will provide you with good placements.
Now, as far as the infrastructure is concerned NIT Manipur won't be able to live up to your expectations as it is a newly formed NIT. The campus is not as beautiful and modern as you would expect from other NITs.
As it is a newly growing college, the temporary campus has currently shifted to the permanent ground and the construction work is still going on there.
But apart from infrastructure, the faculty and placements of this college are very good and you should consider this college as a valid option.
Yes, like most other IITs and NITs it is possible to change your branch at NIT Manipur. My brother joined civil engineering at the institute but changed to CSE in the 2nd year, so I can tell you the exact process.
NIT Manipur offers the branch change option only to two students at the maximum.

A CSE graduate can work as a System Database Administrator, Computer Programmer, Engineering Support Specialist, Data Warehouse Analyst, System Designer, Software Developer, Software Engineer, Lecturer or Professor, Computer Operator and Research Analyst.
Students graduating with ECE can work as Electronics Engineer, Field Test Engineer, Network Planning Engineer, Electronics and Communications Consultant, Research and Development Software Engineer.
NIT Silchar is the best choice in terms of placement & ROI for an engineering program among NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Manipur, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Sikkim and NIT Arunachal Pradesh.
In 2023 companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe and offered the highest package of 80 lakh per year and average package is 14 lakh per year and the placement percentage is 90%.
This indicates that NIT Silchar offers the best deals in placement with 100% opportunity. This university emphasizes industry exposure through guest lectures, workshops, and internships, which can enhance your employability. Jeez Lazar (Executive Director, JP MORGAN), Prasanta Kr Das (Country Manager, Enterprise Services, HEWLETT PACKARD), and many more notable personalities are alumni.
Selecting NIT Silchar for my placement will be a wise decision. The exceptional courses, expert faculty, and modern facilities ensure to provide an excellent education.
Having friends studying in both the institutes, I can say that MANIT Bhopal and NIT both are good in every criterion. When it comes to choosing between colleges and courses, the first preference should be given to the course you want to study.
In the given choices CSE has better growth and demand than Mechanical and NIT is slightly better than MANIT Bhopal. So the clear choice here will be CSE at NIT unless you wish to study mechanical then the other is fine too. Choose a college that is good which includes not just the NIT tag but also about management, faculty, students.
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
