IIT Mandi is better than many but not all NITS, hence it depends which NIT you are comparing it too. If we go by NIRF rankings NIT- Trichy, NIT-Rourkela and NIT -warangal have better rankings than IIT-Mandi.

However, in general IIT- Mandi has a good trackrecord of student placement and LPA packages offered. Students have recieved offers from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, L&T  and ISRO. The average salary offered was 27 lakhs. You can read about it from this document available on their website:

While NIT-trichy and NIT-Rourkela have a lot of recruiter on board with them and their students do bag good packages, NIT - Warangal loses out on the placement record and average salary offered despite a higher NIRF ranking. You can read about their placement record from their website on this document: https://www.nitw.ac.in/media/uploads/2018/06/18/taps-pg-programs-statistics.pdf
