I have a few friends at VJTI and they are not happy with the Electrical Engineering program offered by the institute. Here are some of the things that they mentioned about the institute.
Considering the above disadvantages of VJTI, ECE at IIIT Nagpur is a much better choice for students. Here is a brief overview of the ECE course at IIIT Nagpur.

Hope this helps.
It is tough to choose one institute over the other as all institutes have a different approach to teaching, subject curriculum, etc.
I can say with my personal experience that Industrial Systems Engineering at IIT Kharagpur is better than Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest and best engineering colleges in India.
For the Industrial Systems Engineering branch, top recruiters like American Express, Capillary Technologies, Bosch, Tata Motors, etc. offer an average package between 13 LPA to 15 LPA, and the average placement rate for this course is over 75%.
Even though the statistics for Electrical Engineering placements at IIT Bhubaneswar are better, IIT KGP offers a much stronger alumni network and a richer legacy. To add to this, the flexible curriculum of IIT KGP makes sure that its students can easily fit into any sector.
After considering all the factors, I would suggest you choose Industrial Systems Engineering at IIT KGP over Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar. But I would also point out that you must ultimately choose the branch which interests you the most.
If you choose Electrical Engineering (EE) in PDPU, then you will definitely get a job, as this institute has a better EE department. But you must maintain your CGPA of approximately 9. One of my friends has studied in this institute, and he told me that it is easy enough to maintain this score in PDPU.
In the following, a brief overview has been given, considering these two institutes.

However, if you get selected in MNCs (IT and corporate jobs), they may bore you after a few years. So, if you desire to pursue your career in this field or want some experience, you can select a stream based on their preferences. However, my friend studied Petroleum Engineering (B.Tech) in 2015-2019 from PDPU.
Both IIT Bhubaneswar for ECE and IIT BHU for Electrical are good options for students to pursue. Being a student of IIT Bhubaneswar I can vouch for the institution as it is known for offering exceptional academic courses and research facilities.
DTU and IIT Dharwad both give head-on competition to each other in all fields. DTU is ranked 36th by NIRF and 2nd by Times Engineering Survey. IIT Dharwad was recently established, and it's making all efforts to be ranked among the best. Placement opportunities are impressive in both colleges. More than 90% of the students are placed every year.
Admission:
Students seeking admission to both the colleges need to appear for the JEE mains exam. For IIT Dharwad students also need to get a good score in the JEE advanced.
Total ECE seat intake at DTU is 270 and 50 at IIT Dharwad.

The scholarship is being offered under various categories that include female candidates, academic excellence, and economically backward students. Both the colleges are good which is evident from its national rankings. To choose EE or EEE solely depends on the rank secured by the students in the entrance examination.
I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering student at IIT Bhubaneswar.
The professors in our department are outstanding. Besides possessing expertise in the fundamental concepts of this field, they have produced high-impact research papers on a variety of subjects.
As of now, the 2023-24 B.Tech Mechanical batch at IIT Bhubaneswar has recorded 94.34% placements. Presently, the highest package is INR 27 LPA, the 4th highest among all B.Tech branches. The average ctc is INR 11.96 LPA for B.Tech Mechanical. The placements will continue till the end of August 2024.

Although the ranking and placements of IIT Dhanbad are superior, the School of Mechanical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has some of the best teachers and a rich course curriculum.
I would personally recommend you join Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, but the choice is ultimately yours.

IIT Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneswar are well-reputed for having an excellent academic curriculum for Electrical Engineering. However, the choice majorly depends on your career goals and personal preference.
Four years of Electrical at IIT Bhubaneswar is better than Four years of ECE at BITS Goa.
I am a second year B.Tech EE student at IIT Bhubaneswar. EE and Biotech are both very different choices, but to make the decision easier for you, I am highlighting a few points about my college/branch-
IIT Bhubaneswar has a more modern infrastructure than IIT Delhi, as it is newly constructed.
IIT Bhubaneswar offers decent placements, and the EE faculty is qualified and experienced. The campus is away from the hustle and bustle of the city as it is located outside of Bhubaneswar.
Here are the placement details for B.Tech EE at IIT Bhubaneswar:
| Particulars | B.Tech EE at IIT Bhubaneswar (2023) | B.Tech Biotech at IIT Delhi (2023) |
|---|---|---|
| Average Salary | INR 19.05 LPA | - |
| Highest Salary | INR 44.62 LPA | - |
| Median Salary | INR 15 LPA | INR 20.50 LPA |
| Lowest Salary | INR 6.50 LPA | - |
| % Batch placed | 92.86 % | 87.69% |
If you are interested in EE, you must opt for IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is not as highly ranked as IIT Delhi, it will offer you good academics and placements in this field.
