PSU’s like ISRO, IOCL, NCCBM also participated in the placement to recruit students. A popular belief is that most of the IIT fail to offer core placement for civil engineering students in India. This is not the case for IIT Bhubaneswar as it offers plenty of core placement opportunities.
IIT Bhubaneswar is a good institution to pursue M.Tech in CE from both in academics and placements.
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.

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.
I think doing a BTech in Civil Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is a better choice than opting for a BE in CSE at BITS Hyderabad. No doubt BITS Hyderabad is a great academic institution but IIT Bhubaneswar is known for offering exceptional academic standards and research opportunities to the students.
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.
