When talking about BIT Mesra and LNMIIT Jaipur, you need to reconsider the branch you are opting for. If you are anyhow interested in pursuing the branch of Computer Science, and you are simultaneously not getting the required seat at BIT Mesra, then choosing CSE at LNMIIT Jaipur will not actually be that bad of a choice.
BIT is hoping to push past more records, and enhance over time. It is known by students too that you will not regret the 4 years time of your course after graduating from the institution.
On contrary to BIT’s success, LNMIIT stands with an average package of 10.2 lakh per annum. That means both of them are good. But regardless of that fact, BIT Mesra still stands one step higher from LNMIIT Jaipur in total.
IT from NIT Raipur is the best option among these. The institute offers good placement opportunities for IT and CSE. Each year around 100% of students get placed from the IT department. Reputed IT companies such as Samsung, MuSigma, Oracle Cloud, Cognizant, etc. visit the campus placements. According to the highlights of NIT Raipur placements, IT department has an average CTC of around INR 6.78 LPA.
The Mechanical Engineering at BIT Mesra is considered pretty good in terms of placements, faculties, and academics. The branch has a number of clubs for mechanical students to make learning fun. The branch has intense competition and scoring good grades might be a little challenging. A number of fests, events, and other celebrations take place that make life here very dynamic.
The seniors are very helpful and guide you throughout. The branch offers a plethora of opportunities like foreign internships and MS from top universities. Some even go for MBA or MTech as the workload is very less so you can prepare for competitive exams like GATE and CAT.
Overall, this branch provides a good learning experience and great job opportunities.
You should prefer BIT Mesra. It offers better facilities and placements compared to NIT Durgapur. BIT Mesra placement 2022 witnessed an average CTC of INR 10.02 LPA, and the highest domestic CTC offered was INR 51.71 LPA. It also has a beautiful well-constructed campus.
But NIT Durgapur course fees are less compared to BIT Mesra.

My friend also had a few seniors who didn’t prepare at all for placement but got placement offers anyway from the IT branch.
Manipal University is certainly better than BIT Mesra in terms of it all, Education, campus, and hostel life. Let's understand this better by considering these aspects individually.
Academics: The quality of education is great here and the professors are genuinely concerned about your progress. They guide you and motivate you to perform better.
Hostel life: Both students of Engineering and Architecture are allotted common hostels with excellent facilities such as -24x7 internet connection, hot water supply, water coolers, common rooms with T.V s, and indoor sports facilities like Table Tennis, Carrom, Chess, etc Additionally, there is the provision of immediate first aid in case of emergencies. Other miscellaneous facilities include room cleaning services and laundry services. So, the hostel life of Manipal Univerisity students is quite comfortable.
BIT Mesra undoubtedly has better ranking and job opportunities but college life is very monotonous and dull. So if you are looking for a fun-filled college life experience choose Manipal University over BIT Mesra.

According to some of the people I know from BIT Mesra, it is not comparable to Thapar. You can compare BIT Mesra with reputed NITs like NIT Warangal or Trichy.
Here are some important aspects of the institute.
The table below gives a brief comparison of the institutes.

Going by the above points it is safe to say BIT Mesra has an edge over Thapar University.
It is better not to target a branch change because good branches are available only if you have an 8.5+ CGPA (which varies based on the vacancies).
When it comes to Chemical Engineering, this branch opens up a plethora of opportunities. But you need to work hard and score a decent CGPA. Many recruiters opt for students with a good CGPA and practical knowledge. Don’t get distracted from your studies since this institute also encourages students to take part in extra-curricular activities.
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.
