Here are some key points about both colleges which will help you in your decision-making-

• Campus Life- The campus life at NIT Durgapur is much better. You’ll get ample freedom to play sports, to party, etc. You can do everything on campus, at all hours. The senior-junior and peer-to-peer bonding is great over here. There is relatively more cultural diversity in the NIT Durgapur campus.

• Academics- The CSE department of NIT Durgapur isn’t good. If you are serious about academics and quality education, NIT Durgapur CSE isn’t a good choice. The quality of research is very poor, apart from the DST-FIST project. Have a look at the faculty profile of both institutions to get a clearer picture.

• Placements - On ground level, CSE placements are better at JU. For a smaller number of students, it receives the same number of companies during campus placements. Also, bigshots offering high packages visit the JU campus exclusively.

• Startups - NIT Durgapur doesn’t provide many opportunities for startups/entrepreneurship.

• Higher studies - Both are at par if you wish to pursue higher studies in India. However, for foreign colleges/universities, an NIT tag will be more advantageous.

• ROI- The ROI for JU is much higher. This is because its tuition fees are much more affordable.

According to me, a CSE from Jadavpur University is a better option.

The answer to this question depends mainly on your interest. Mechanical and CSE are diverse branches with diverse scopes. You need to analyze your own inclination only then can you make a sound decision. If you aren’t sure if the branch you can decide based on your future goals.

• If you want to land a job right after graduation that too a decent package, choose CSE over Mechanical because that branch has more job opportunities. 
• If you are planning to pursue higher studies, especially in Physics-related courses, choose Mechanical. The branch is very intriguing and opens many doors to higher studies. 
• If you value colleges over branches then choose IIT KGP as it’s way ahead of NIT Surathkal. 

Lastly, I will advise you to opt for Mechanical only in first and second-generation IITs. So you can opt for NIT Surathkal or Trichy over third-generation IITs but not over first and second-generation IITs. Hope this clears my point. 

A comparative analysis for both institutes is mentioned below:

• Infrastructure: NICMAR is better as it provides proper hostel accommodation and other amenities.
• Faculty: Both institutions have good faculty.
• Coursework: SPA's MBEM course is tailored for architects who want to pursue construction management, whereas NICMAR's ACM course is designed for civil engineers.
• Placements: The packages offered by both institutions are similar for freshers and experienced candidates.

• Fees: SPA is significantly cheaper, with the course fee including hostel and food not exceeding 2 lakhs, whereas NICMAR's course fee is around 10 lakhs. SPA's MBEM course is also eligible for a scholarship from MHRD.
• Higher studies and research opportunities: SPA's MBEM degree is recognized by MHRD and UGC, whereas NICMAR's course is an industry-recognized certificate course.

SPA's MBEM course is a better option for someone who wants to pursue a postgraduate course in construction management due to its lower fees and eligibility for scholarships and recognition for higher studies and research opportunities. However, NICMAR has better infrastructure and both institutions have good faculty and similar placements for freshers and experienced candidates.

I will advise you not to compare colleges solely on the basis of rankings and placements because these are too trivial criteria to be considered while choosing your college. One must look at the bigger picture. NIT Delhi, despite being a new institute, has already laid its strong foundation and you can expect excellent placements in the near future. 

Here are a few highlights of the institute:

• Placements: NIT Delhi has an active placement cell that ensures that every student has at least one offer by the end of the placement drive.
• Campus: The campus has limited facilities but provides enough facilities to ensure good quality education. Students have access to wifi facilities 24/7.
• Ranking: Don’t let the low rankings mislead you. These ranking bodies consider criteria like campus, branches, alumni, etc which NIT Delhi definitely lacks in because it's new.

Overall, NIT Delhi offers good quality education and a NIT tag that will up your game in higher education.

I would always recommend you to go for BITS Pilani EEE over IIT BHU Mechanical. Here are a few points justifying my stance.

Academics: BITS Pilani EEE curriculum is modern and as per industry standards. The branch has a highly qualified pool of professors who make use of modern teaching methodologies and conduct lively sessions. the number of top-tier MS in EE, the infrastructure, and top-notch placements all prove the same. The infrastructure at IIT BHU is deteriorating and the labs are equipped with obsolete instruments bringing down the academic quality of the institute.

Network: BITS has a very elaborate alumni network and gives an edge to IIT BHU.The BITS network (BITSAA) is very well organized and the close-knit nature of the BITSian community is rarely matched by IITs.

Brand: Society in general considers the IIT tag to be of superior quality whereas the recruiters and top universities are aware of the BITS influence and thus it enjoys an equally good brand name. Moreover, the IIT branch seems to have diluted with the increase in batch size and the opening of new IITs. The top recruiters know the difference between old and new IITs and thus the packages offered are different. BITS is known for its cutting-edge infrastructure and no-reservation policy.

Overall, BITS is the best option for you!
