IIT Indore and IIT Bhubaneswar were both established almost at the same time, and both hold an equally good reputation. However, the ECE branch offers better opportunities as compared to the Mechanical branch.
Here is a comparison between IIT Indore Mechanical and IIT Bhubaneswar ECE:

The faculty at both these institutions are equally outstanding. However, Electronics courses fall in the middle of core and software. This is why Electronics students get jobs quite easily in the software domain as well.
This makes the job prospects of ECE students better than their Mechanical counterparts. Thus, I would recommend you choose ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar over Mechanical at IIT Indore.
IIT Kharagpur’s manufacturing science and engineering course is better than IIT Bhubaneswar’s mechanical engineering. IIT Kharagpur is well-recognized nationwide for offering excellent academics.
IIT KGP held Rank 6 in the NIRF Engineering Ranking for 2023. Its Manufacturing Science and Engineering course will open plenty of career opportunities for you in the US and Europe. This subject is very much sought after in foreign markets.
IIT Kharagpur has a very well-structured academic curriculum for the students, it offers excellent research facilities along with a highly qualified faculty. The course curriculum for Manufacturing Science and Engineering at IIT KGP has subjects related to manufacturing processes, materials, automation, quality control, and more.
IIT KGP offers practical learning alongside rich academics to help its students excel in their career. IIT KGP will provide you unparalleled exposure.
Even though Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar is also a good option, I would recommend you choose Manufacturing Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur.
I don’t know much about other IITs and am familiar with the situation in IIT Patna only. My brother is currently a student there in the Electrical branch. He says that the situation here is nothing that people with preconceived notions regarding Patna or Bihar think it to be.
IIT Patna UG EE Courses are great and it’s considered the toughest branch for a UG student like any other IITs. However, the curriculum here is very diverse and you will be introduced to both Electrical and Electronics and you can decide which one intrigues you more. You can pursue Coding and Open Source Development too as an electrical student. You will be surprised to know that IIT Patna’s best coded is a senior m of the EE Branch who cleared Google Code Jam and was also part of this year’s ACM-ICPC Team which qualified for the World Final and secured 56 Rank. There are many other examples of students who cleared GSoC.
IIT Patna also encourages its students to pursue research or go for Higher Studies. The professors and seniors offer relentless support.
The best part of IIT Patna is the plethora of options and opportunities you will have after 4 years!
Both IIT Gwalior with CSE and IIT Bhubaneswar with mechanical are great options for you to pursue but the choice majorly depends on your academic choices, career goals and personal preferences.
If you ask me, I think you should opt for Mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar rather than choosing ED at IITM. I am saying this not because I am a student of IIT Bhubaneswar but because of the high academic standards the institute maintains.
I can understand that choosing between IIT Bhubaneswar for CSE and IIT Kharagpur for mechanical engineering can be a tough choice. But it depends on your career goals and preferences. I don't have much idea about IIT Kharagpur but I can guide you about IIT Bhubaneswar. Being a student at IIT Bhubaneswar myself I can say that the institution offers excellent academic standards for the students.
I am not sure about Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur but I can vouch for IIt Bhubaneswar, you can opt for any ECE, EE, or Mechanical engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar.
There are 4-year B.E/B. Tech and 5-year dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering courses at IIT Bhubaneswar. The cutoff varies depending on the course and caste of students.

Both Mechanical engineering and computer science engineering are two different fields of study so it’s difficult to select an institute over the other.
On the basis of NIRF (National institution ranking framework score) Rankings, IIT Bhubaneswar comes under the top 20 IITs in India. There are more than 15 faculty members for mechanical engineering and their syllabus emphasizes both the technical and communication teamwork. The school of mechanical sciences offers B.Tech in mechanical engineering, a dual degree (M.Tech- M.Tech) and M.Tech in mechanical system design and thermal sciences. Every year it also provides short-term courses, national and international conferences, workshops, project work, and many more extracurriculars. The laboratories are well equipped with 30 computational workstations and other facilities such as Material testing lab instrumentation lab etc. Moving on to placement, various reputed companies visit the campus to recruit students with an average salary package of 11.15 lakh per annum.
Whereas in NIT Andhra, there are less than 15 faculty members but the infrastructure is quite good. The laboratories for CSE are also pretty good which consist of Artificial intelligence lab, data analytics lab, and Enterprise app development lab. Top companies like Amazon, Wipro, Deloitte, etc. visit during campus placement and offers an average salary package up to 5.87 lakh per annum.
I think I am qualified to answer this question as I graduated from IIT Madras Aeronautics department and I am working for Boeing in the USA.
You should choose IIT Madras due to following reasons:-
