I recently graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal. 

The department has experienced, helpful and friendly professors, especially Dr. S. Suresh, Dr. Sunder Pal, and Dr. K. Suresh. The contract faculty mostly focuses on your mugging up skills, but the courses taken up by permanent teachers are really interesting and knowledge providing. Around 80% of the B.Tech Chemical students are placed from the campus each year, at an average package of around 7.5 LPA. 

MANIT is a good choice for a degree in Chemical Engineering. You can consider this college for your higher studies.

The most important tip is to join MANIT without any regrets of not making it to the top IITs. If you keep regretting your past, you won’t be able to enjoy all that MANIT has to offer. 

Apart from that, here are some tips to survive at MANIT Bhopal-

1. Do not depend upon your teachers. Make a proper study routine for yourself.
2. Do not underestimate your professors, and maintain good relations with them. Doing so will benefit you in the future for your projects.
3. Attend your classes regularly. Getting good grades during the first year is comparatively easier. These grades will improve your aggregate GPA.
4. Work hard from the first year itself. 
5. Seniors are really helpful, so try to approach them and seek their guidance.
6. Attend the workshops and events that are specially organized for freshers, but choose the good ones. You can consult your seniors regarding this.
7. Join clubs and societies to enhance your personality, and develop some skills. 

Use this time wisely, and also enjoy your stay at MANIT Bhopal. 

It is not about MANIT Bhopal or any other institute, it is about the branch. Mechanical is considered to be a tough branch, so girls usually steer away from opting for it. This is mainly because of the advice given by elders, and some age old perceptions.

As an alumnus of MANIT B.Tech Mechanical, I would like to share my experiences with you. I was the only girl in my entire batch. However, I never felt left out. In fact, I made some really good friends, and became famous as the only girl in my batch. 

The faculty is cooperative, and it entirely depends on how well you interact with them. The placements are good, and girl students get an advantage in some respects. You’ll learn to handle a lot of situations on your own, and you won’t be roasted much during labs and vivas as the professors have a soft corner for the very few girls in the batch. You’ll bond with people from the other branches quite easily. 

My journey as a Mechanical student was filled with ups and downs. I made precious memories at the department which I will cherish for lifetime.

As a B.Tech fresher at MANIT Bhopal, you’ll be allotted Hostel 10. Here are the pros and cons of this hostel-

• Location- The classes for freshers are held in NTB (new teaching block). NTB is 1.5 kilometers away from H-10, so you’ll have to walk around 6-7 kilometers daily. Cycling is the best way to travel from H-10 to NTB, and back.

• Availability of basic necessities- The student corporate store inside the hostel will meet most of your necessities. 

• Mess- The mess serves decent and well balanced meals. But you’ll soon get bored of the mess food, and begin to dislike it. 

• Sports facilities- Both the blocks have a table tennis room. The hostel has badminton and volleyball courts inside it. You can play cricket in the hostel compound.

• Internet facilities- The entire hostel is equipped with wifi connectivity. The internet speed depends upon your room, but normally it is 1 mbps. LAN facility is not available in the hostel.

• Network- Jio signals are quite weak, but Airtel works fine.

• Washrooms- Each floor has two sets of washrooms. Geysers aren’t installed in the bathrooms, so you’ll have to bring your own immersion rod (it is not allowed, but no checking takes place). 

• TV room- The hostel has a tv room, but it is hardly used by anyone.

• Security- H-10 is heavily guarded by security guards. In the first 2-3 months, the security is exceptionally tight. So you need not worry about ragging.

• Rooms- The rooms are in good condition. They were built for two occupants. But because of lack of accommodation, each one is shared by three students.

Overall, the first year hostel is quite decent. You’ll enjoy your stay at Hostel 10 of MANIT Bhopal.

Earlier MANIT Bhopal suffered from problems like ragging, poor faculty, and more. But from the time that our new director, Dr. N.S. Raghuwanshi joined the college, things have changed for the better. 

He recruited new and better faculty members, and made many other changes in MANIT. The current condition of our college is quite good. New infrastructure is in place, including new hostels. As far as ragging is concerned, the scenario is different now. At present, the senior junior interaction is good, and seniors help freshers as much as possible.

I would recommend you join MANIT Bhopal, and assure you that you won’t regret this decision.

Here is some information regarding the boys hostel for M.Tech students at MANIT-

From 2018 batch onwards, M.Tech boys are allotted rooms in the P.G. Hostel 11 (Appu Bhawan). This building is newly constructed, and contains single seater rooms. Each room has an attached balcony.

It is a logical decision to provide single seater rooms for M.Tech students, as one needs privacy at such a high level.

The M.Tech boys hostel at MANIT Bhopal is really good.

Before joining MANIT Bhopal, I was also worried about how the atmosphere on campus would be.

But when I got here, I realized that ragging has almost gone extinct on campus. Since the past few years, there have been no cases of ragging in the college. MANIT might not be your first choice, but you’ll come to love this college with time. The college has a good reputation, and your hardwork will get you your dream job.

The CSE department witnesses really good placements, and now, even the other branches are performing well. Every student of this college gets equal placement opportunities. With the required skill set and a good personality, you can easily crack campus interviews and get placed.

MANIT is a good college with lots of opportunities. As an NIT, it has a brand value as well.
