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 completed my BTech CSE from NIT Manipur in 2021. NITs consistently perform well in terms of placements. NITs fees are much lower compared to SRMIST and other private engineering colleges.
For your convenience, I have compiled the 2023 placement figures of all these colleges:

*The 2023 placement figures might have increased for NIT Mizoram.
NIT Manipur has the best placement figures among the three NITs. As per NIRF 2023 Engineering Ranking, NIT Manipur ranks 95th, while NIT Sikkim ranks in the 151-200 bracket.
NITs are “Institutes of National Importance''. NITs are government colleges. They come next in line to IITs for their high brand value. Though SRM Chennai is a well-known college, it does not carry the same reputation as the IITs and NITs. Due to these factors, I had decided to pursue BTech CSE from NIT Manipur.
NIT Meghalaya ranks 61st for BTech by NIRF 2020. 104 students were placed in the 2018-2019 placement program conducted by the institute. It is accredited by AICTE.
