I have friends from both LNCT Bhopal and JIIT Noida, and according to the conversations that I had with them, I will say JIIT is relatively better than the former. The reason, quite clearly, is because the admission shortlisting is based upon the rank secured in JEE Mains, and not on the basis of marks acquired in the boards.
So you will be among a better peer group at JIIT which will be highly beneficial for your personality development, alongside several other positive differences.
Here are the recent placement highlights for both institutes.
| Institutes | LNCT, Bhopal | JIIT, Noida |
| Placement Percentage | 83% | 96% |
| Highest Salary Package | INR 27 LPA (2020) | INR. 43.17 LPA |
| Average Salary Package | INR 3.3 LPA | INR. 7.40 LPA |
| Top Recruiting Companies | VMware, Microsoft, Amazon, Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Capgemini | Adobe, DE Shaw, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Google India, Deloitte |
With better peer group and exposure, JIIT Noida is definitely better than LNCT Bhopal.
I know people from both NIT Allahabad and NIT Surathkal and based on the reviews I got from them, I will say the former is better. Choose Civil Engineering, only if you are genuinely interested in the branch. If you want placement after the completion of the course, you will have to work hard as there are not many core companies visiting the campus placement drive. However, the placement record for NIT Allahabad is better as compared to NIT Surathkal.
Here are some of the other reasons why you should give preference to NIT Allahabad.

However, before you decide on any college you should do your own research on the branch at both institutes.
Given to choose, TAPMI is the college I would like to go based on ROI, faculties, Pedagogy, curriculum and placements. TAPMI’s NIRF 2022 rank is also 38th in the country which is above some 3rd gen IIMs. It is also accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and AMBA.
It is also equipped with state of the art labs like Finance Lab, Analytics lab, Operations Lab and Creativity lab.
It offers Merit based scholarships to 50 students every year. Scholarships are awarded to students by categorizing them into four categories such as Category I, II, III and IV.
My sister did her B.Tech from NIT Kurukshetra as it is one of the top-rated NIT and she had a wonderful time there.
So, I would suggest you to go for Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. However to help you make a better decision here’s a comparison between the three colleges:

If you choose a better college over a branch then you will have an advantage during placements as companies would be aching to visit for hiring new students. You can have a better branch but it won’t matter as you wouldn’t get enough placement opportunities. Students from NIT are placed in some of the top multinational companies.
XIMB-HR and XAHR are both one and the same. The former has been renamed to the latter. XAHR ranks above IMI New Delhi in HR. Not because of the placement prospectus but because of the faculties. Most of the faculties are from have great industry experience.
The course is as per the global standards of SHRM. They provides 100% placement in both finals and summers.
You also get the experience of the outbound learning program organized by TSAF or TATA steel adventure foundation. The new campus is a little outside the main city and the only advantage of IMI New Delhi is its location. XIMB-HR and XAHR are both one and the same.

If you really have a flair for computer science and you love learning coding languages then Amrita University is the best for you.

Also, the infrastructure of the college is appealing with excellent facilities being provided to all the students including labs, library, and well-qualified faculty.
