No college, including BIT Mesra, admits students on the basis of JEE Mains marks. Rather, admissions are made on the basis of JEE Mains rank. Suppose there are 15 candidates with the same score, their ranks may still differ. If the college has only 10 seats left for that particular course, the top 10 out of those 15 students (having more marks in Maths or Physics) will be given the seats.
Here are the 2023 closing ranks to pursue B.E. CSE from BIT Mesra, for the 1st and 6th round of JoSAA counseling-

Thus, you need to prepare for your JEE Mains to secure a good rank to get admission into the CSE program at BIT Mesra.
When I asked a senior of mine the same question, she told me to exclude NIT Raipur. The reason is, NIT Raipur is one of the newer institutes and to be considered worthy, the institute has to improve a lot.
The other two institutes, however, would be a tough call.
My senior said BIT Mesra is slightly ahead of NIT Hamirpur just because the former has been around for much longer than the latter.
Despite all that, NIT Hamirpur is located in pleasant surroundings. In addition to that, it will also give you the NIT tag and is an INI. So, in the case of comparison by merit, it all depends on who has the higher cut-off in a particular session.
NIT Hamirpur is also a new NIT and it is improving with each day. On the other hand, the quality of education, placements in the electrical branch of NIT Raipur are going down with each passing day.
The question does not give any details. Therefore, I will explain the two time-periods of branch change at BIT Mesra-
Shifting into the CSE branch is almost impossible. This is because the branch is highly demanded and thus it ends up with no vacant seats. Thus, this is the overall scenario of branch change at BIT Mesra during your B.Tech.
Regarding your question on whether or not to choose BIT Mesra for your CSE, I would say that the CSE course at BIT Mesra is quite good. Here are a few colleges for CSE that are superior to BIT Mesra according to me- NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, NIT Allahabad, and MNIT Jaipur.
As far as placements are concerned, they are top notch for the CSE branch at BIT Mesra. During the 2022 placements, 113 out of 124 eligible students were placed. The lowest package stood at INR 4 LPA, the average package at INR 19.27 LPA and the highest package at INR 58.33 LPA. The median package was recorded at INR 16 LPA. The companies that visited the BIT Mesra campus for CSE placements were- Micorosoft, Wells Fargo, Walmart, GS, Paytm, Vmware, KPMG, Oracle, MMT, Atlassian, Lowe’s, Whitehat Jr., JF, among others. Media.net, Amazon, Disney, Indeed, Google, American Express, etc. visited the campus after September.
For the IT branch at BIT Mesra, the companies that offered placements were- Amazon, Microsoft, Mindtickle, JF, GS, Paytm, DE Shaw, Whitehat Jr., Walmart, Atlassian, SWYM, Oracle, KPMG, Vmware, etc. In IT, 56 out of 59 eligible students were placed. The average salary stood at INR 20.58 LPA. The highest, median and lowest package was the same as that for CSE.
Basically, if you do not get a top NIT for your CSE, you should choose BIT Mesra. It has good placements for this course.
One of my friends shared a story of his batchmate at BIT Mesra who got a F* in DS Lab and theory in the second semester.
It was a spring semester. The results weren’t out by then and had he waited for the results, he would have to wait for another year to give the exam. So, he registered the papers that summer and cleared them. He got an A in both and hoped that his spring semester would be carrying an F, which it did.
Yes, BIT Mesra is considered a tier-1 college. It has an excellent placement record. According to the recent highlights of BIT Mesra placements, students received an average CTC of INR 10 LPA. The placement is especially good for circuital branches. Every year almost more than 100 companies visit the placement drive.
Both of these two colleges are tier-1 colleges. You can’t go wrong with either of them. One of my relatives who used to be a student of MANIT Bhopal speaks highly of the institution. According to her, you should prefer MANIT Bhopal to any other institution any day including BIT Mesra too.
Don’t take an educational loan to go to BIT Mesra, if you are getting MANIT Bhopal CSE. You can easily get an income-based scholarship at MANIT Bhopal.
At MANIT placement percentage as well as the highest package, both are pretty high. At MANIT Bhopal, the placement percentage goes as high as 98% and the highest package offered this year was around 42 LPA.
Hance, MANIT Bhopal is definitely is a better alternative.
When it comes to BIT Mesra, there are many great things about the university that make it difficult to choose just one. Here are some of the top reasons why BIT Mesra is such a fantastic place to study:
