Both NITK and IIT Bhubaneswar are famous for offering excellent academic courses in Engineering, However, I can guide you about electronics and communication from IIT Bhubaneswar.
As your choice of course is different, it’s hard to select between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Surathkal.
According to the NIRF 2019, IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked at 26, which is a good rank considering it’s a new IIT. The Mechanical Engineering department is quite good at IIT Bhubaneswar. According to the 2019 placement record, 83% students got job offers from Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. Many famous companies such as Amazon, H Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, Rao Edusolutions, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TETCOS, TESCO, UHG, and other companies as well recruited students last year.
NIT Surathkal is a well-reputed name in Indian Engineering institutions. According to NIRF Ranking, it ranks at 22 nationally among engineering institutes in India. ECE in this NIT is even better as compared to a few IITs. The placement records of 2018-19 show that 97% of placement offers were received by students in this department. The average placement offer was 12-13 LPA.
Both IIT Bhubaneswar for Mechanical and NIT Surathkal for ECE are good choices with their own advantages. So, choose wisely according to your convenience.
BITS is the better choice among all as CSE has more scope than ECE. And NIT Surathkal is an old institute with a better placement record than IIT Bhubaneswar.
Since BITS Hyderabad is the newest among all other campuses and it certainly is a little behind in terms of faculty, infrastructure, etc. But when compared on a national level it is on par with any other institute. It provides the students with a prime location to look for internships and also provides an edge to them if they are opting for off-campus placements. Although the institute provides students with decent opportunities for on-campus placements also. Around 200 companies visit the campus each year and around 94% of the student secured a job through campus placements with an average package of around 5-6 lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was as high as 14 lakhs per annum.
NIT Surathkal is among the top NITs of this country. The placements of students of this branch are also good although NIT Trichy and Warangal have better placement records. The average placement package offered at this NIT is around 14.15 LPA and 100% placement was observed for B.Tech batches in last year’s placement drive.
ECE is one of the new branches that started at IIT Bhubaneswar starting from 2016. Hence the first batch of students will graduate in 2020. In 2019, the average CTC offered in this IIT was 11.44 LPA. Many core companies, software companies, PSU’s, etc. hire electrical engineers from IIT Bhubaneswar hence one can assume the same trend to be followed for electronics and communication engineering also but the result is yet to be seen.
NIT Surathkal CSE will be a better option. It offers better academics and placements. NIT K placements are excellent for CSE. Students of the branch get an average CTC of around INR 15-16 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 45 LPA. Microsoft, Amazon, and D.E. Shaw & Co. are among the major recruiters of the branch.
I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.
As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.
ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.
Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:

Since the placements at both the institutions are good, I would recommend you consider the other factors and choose B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
IIT Bhubaneswar placements have been witnessing excellent records. The BTech batch has recorded 82% placements and the M.Tech batch has recorded 84% placements. The highest package stood at INR 55.75 LPA whereas the average package stood at INR 17.68 LPA for the B.Tech batch and INR 12.36 LPA for the M.Tech batch.

The institute welcomes many top companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Flipkart during placements.
Placement is average for every branch because a company comes but students cant fulfil their demands than they cant placed every student for a job. the company comes like HCl and many more like TCS, Google, Wipro, hero, Usha, toofan.
The course is too good because there is the best placement in this college of the branch I took ECE. The student ratio is good. the ratio of boys and girls is 200/300. The faculty members are good and the staff of the college are also good. The faculty members are PHD holders. If you read properly every day then your exam will be good but the questions of the semester exam are average hard.
I am currently in my 3rd year. But as if my seniors campus experience we have good placements. We have coaching for placement cell.. we have student co ordinator for the placement cell. We can access all the companies which come for access and avail help of placement officer of our college who is more supportive for us
The course I opted is Electronic and communication. The subjects are quite difficult but with my faculty and department help, it's made easier and understandable.! It's very interesting with theory and practical knowledge of electronic and communication.
