Well, assuming that your 1st preference is CS at Pilani. EEE at Pilani is arguably one of the most difficult branches out there. Based on the conversations I had with my friends from both the BITS campus, here is what I can tell you about the courses.

• You generally have to compete with the top students on the Campus. Also, the EEE course material is not everyone's cup of tea.
• The EEE placements are quite good, though not for everyone. There are more high pointers in EEE than in any other branch. Thus good companies prefer to hire from among those.
• Placements might be better for CS at Goa, though in some other respects you might sell yourself short with this choice.

So, if you want an easy life, better go for CS in Goa. Otherwise, choose EEE at Pilani.

NIT Surathkal IT is far superior to NIT Calicut. It is well-known in India for its CSE/IT branches. It is a highly regarded engineering college in India, and after four years of B.Tech college, the specific branch does not matter.

NITK outperforms Calicut in terms of reputation and placements. Furthermore, because of the higher cutoffs, the quality of students may be slightly higher here.

IT at NITK is nearly equivalent to CSE here. During placements, nearly all companies open to CS are open for IT as well.

The subjects taught and the syllabus in both departments are also similar. In fact, the IT department may be slightly better than the CS department in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as it is newer. Previously, the quality of students in CS was higher than in IT, but with significant increases in IT cutoffs, both are now equally good.

Computer Science Engineering programs are considered to be good at both ITM University Gwalior Campus as well as ITM University Sithouli campus. While both institutes have the same management under the umbrella of ITM. However, when making a choice between the two colleges, students can consider program eligibility, thrust areas in CSE, and placements. The following points highlight the same:

Eligibility:

ITM University, Turari Campus:

• 10+2 in Mats stream with minimum 50% marks obtained.
• Admission is granted on the basis of score obtained in the ITM NEST entrance exam.

ITM University, Sithouli Campus:

• 10+2 in PCM with minimum 45% marks for general category applicants and minimum 40% marks for SC, ST, OBC candidates.
• Admission is granted on the basis of counseling conducted by DTE, Bhopal, and on the basis of JEE or 10+2 marks.

Fee structure:

The fee structure comparison between the two colleges is mentioned below.

Thrust Areas:

ITM University, Turari Campus:

• The department is known to focus its research on computer networks, cloud computing, speech, image, and video processing as well as security.
• It also has a well-equipped laboratory for the fields of database, programming lab, projet lab as well as Linux lab.
• It also has a number of other software like Turbo C++, Java, Linux, SQL, etc.

ITM University, Sithouli Campus:

• All final year students are encouraged to carry out a project. Moreover, the department also carries out a number of industrial visits.
• Students can also attend technology workshops, symposiums, and conferences.
• Training programs are also available for C/C++, Java as well as other networking languages.

Placements:

ITM University, Turari Campus:

• Some of the major companies recruiting students from the institute include HCL, Zensar, TCS, Wipro, Satyam, etc.
• The career guidance cell holds placement drives in the institute which has placed about 2000+ students overall so far.
• The average salary for most students ranges between INR 4 to 12 lakhs per annum with most CSE students landing in IT fields.

ITM University, Sithouli Campus:

• The training and placement cell works hard to place students. It also conducts mock interviews and invites companies.
• About 80% of students from the campus are placed annually with companies like Wipro, TCS, Capgemini visiting the institute.
• The average salary ranges between INR 3.6 to 4 lakhs per annum for students from the department.

While both institutes are equally good, placements are much better established with ITM University Sithouli campus. Students can also contemplate the fee structure before applying to either institute.

I know some of the people from both institutes. Based on what I heard from them, IIIT Bhopal is better than IIIT Ranchi. 

A few of the reasons to choose IIIT Bhopal are as follows. 

• Mentor Institute: IIIT Bhopal is mentored by NIT Bhopal and classes are held inside the campus of NIT Bhopal itself. So you will have access to all the experienced faculty and facilities you would have got if you were in NIT. Being in NIT, you can participate in all the national-level competitions.
• Location: The location of IIIT Bhopal is great. It is located in the peaceful city of Bhopal. It has less traffic and the college is close to both the airport and railway station.
• Hostel: Hostels for the first are at RGPV University, which is the head university of all the engineering colleges in the state. It has a huge campus with modern facilities. Buses are provided from hostel to college and that too free of cost.
• Food: The quality of food at the canteen is not so good.
• Academics: Academics facilities are great and you have to work hard to stay in sync with the syllabus. The course-work will be quite hectic in the first year and you would be given 30,50 or sometimes even 100 questions as an assignment. You will learn C-Programming, HTML, CSS, latex, etc. 

You can also check the latest ranking of the institute to compare. The final decision is yours. 

Both IITD Mechanical as well as IIT BHU CSE are good branches.
IIT BHU is 100 Years old Institution and offers a huge Alumni Network. The course curriculum of CSE is designed in a way that will give you enough Industry exposure. Coding Culture at IIT BHU is also very impressive with 10-12 GSOC Selections every year. The Department Club of Programmers (COPS) conducts Codefest which is the annual Department Fest which witnesses the participation of students and programmers worldwide. Moreover, besides Technical things at IIT BHU you can build up other skills since there are many clubs for Extracurriculars like Aeromodelling Club, Robotics Club, Business Club, Cultural Societies, Film & Media Council, etc. Apart from this, the Life at IIT BHU campus and city life of Varanasi is amazing. The average placement package at this IIT is nearly around 8.19 Lakhs while the Highest was 1.54 Crore in 2019. All the top companies including top tech giants Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon offer jobs as well as other sectors where students get jobs are Consulting, Analytics, Education, Business, etc.

IITD is an old well-reputed IIT. Faculties of the Mechanical Department at IITD are very good and experienced. Also, Peer Group at IITD is very competitive since many top rankers join this college. Mechanical Engineering course curriculum is good and one which provides industry skills. Besides Academics IITD too has many Clubs, Societies where students can join to develop different skills. Also, Campus life of IITD and the City life that Delhi offers is quite amazing. Placements too at IITD are good. In 2019 Mechanical Engineering was the brunch with the highest placement records. Many top Mechanical Core companies visit campus such as HUL, ITC, WIPRO, CBS, HONDA, etc. There are also other job profiles available such as Data Analytics, Software, Consulting, Finance, Education, etc.

You should choose the branch depending on your Interest. Choose Mechanical only if you have keen interest otherwise choose CSE to get more opportunities. 

I have a friend at IIIT Pune. I only heard good things about the institute from him. Here are some facts about IT at PICT and CSE at IIIT-Pune, which may help you to decide. 

Teachers:

• All of the faculties of IIIT-Pune are Ph.D. holders from institutes like IIT KGP, NITs, and foreign universities.
• Most of the faculties of PICT are M.Tech or still pursuing their PhDs.

Crowd: 

• Instead of going home during vacations, students attend Android and Web development workshops. 
• Faculties encourage students to take up projects and internships from the first semester.

Degree: 

• Students get B.Tech in IIIT-Pune as compared to a B.E. at PICT. 
• IIIT-Pune's curriculum doesn't include subjects like Civil, Engineering Drawing, Mechanics, Mechanical, Chemistry which are of no use in the course of CSE.

Institute of National Importance:

• IIIT-Pune is like all the IITs, NITs, IIITs which is an Institute of National Importance( INI) which leads to a lot of Government funds and monetary support. 
• Students who did their 12th from the MP board or others can receive a full tuition fee waiver for 4 years of their B. Tech since IIIT Pune is an INI.

Sports and Clubs:

• Any student can start a club of their own if they have a passion for something at IIIT-Pune. 
• IIIT- Pune bagged 5 medals in IIT- BHU’s Annual Sports Fest Spardha and continues to receive honors in other sports events as well.

Attendance and Holidays:

• PICT has minimum attendance criteria of 75% and PICT imposes an 80% attendance.
• PICT has 9 days winter break and 15 days summer break, so if you are not a local then you will not get to see much of your family.
• At IIIT-Pune students get 1 month of Winter Break and about 2.5 months of Summer Break. 

Exposure and Brand:

• IIIT-Pune students usually go for two industrial visits to Infosys and Tech Mahindra. 
• IIIT is a brand as there are a total of 23 IIITs in India and are recognized throughout the country and overseas. 
• IIIT-Pune also has inter-IIT sports and technical fests every year where all the IIITs across the country take part.

Students think that PICT is old so it’s better and yes it’s been around for 20 years since PICT’s inception and it has developed whereas IIIT-Pune is just 2 years old and has the potential for tremendous growth. 

Getting a degree is not just the only thing, and you have to consider a number of aspects before picking a college or a university. Talking about these three colleges, you should choose Poornima University. Here’s mentioning some reasons as to why:

• The prime reason is the above-average placement.
• At Poornima University, the majority of the students get placed during the campus placement itself. 
• The college has good infrastructure and arguably one of the most vital factors is affordability.
• Other colleges ask you for hefty fees which is not the case with Poornima University. 
• It does not charge an unnecessary amount of money in the name of comfort and luxury.

You should choose your college wisely and not in an ambiguous state. This is a very important step of your life and you should be caring enough to not mess it up.
