When faced with a similar situation different people make different choices. There is no right choice as it’s a matter of personal preference. IIT Indore CSE and BITS Pilani EEE are both lucrative options and thus only your personal choices can determine the right one. 

There are some who wish to grab the IIT tag and want to take CS because the branch is a major crowd-puller. While some want to experience the brand and prestige of the old BITS Pilani. 

I would suggest you go for IIT Indore as the small batch size has its own benefits and moreover, IIT Indore has been growing quickly and seems to give more promising results in the future. The small batch size gives the vibe of a small family and you will love the bond here. BITS Pilani on the other hand has its own aura with Meritocracy as the mantra but its high fees are a major issue. 

Both the institutes are equally good and choosing one of the other wouldn’t be a regretful decision.

One of my friends recently passed out from NIT Kurukshetra. He was all praise for the coding culture there and also the placements. A lot of good companies like Google Microsoft Directi offer great packages given that your profile is deserving.

• The city life however is not very dynamic because Kurukshetra is a small city with very few places to hang out unlike Delhi, a very vibrant city. 
• The hostel life is great because you make very good friends here. Students are provided with excellent internet facilities.
• The faculty is decent like any other engineering college with a mix of both good and below-average professors. 
• The best part is that students won’t have to buy any study material from outside. You get 5 books from the college library for the entire semester and 3 additional books for a 15-day cycle. 
• The food served in the mess is average but it's the same everywhere.
• The infrastructure is average but things are slowly getting better under the new director. New buildings and a swimming pool have been made. 

Here is a brief comparison of both NIT Kurukshetra and Jamia Milia:

It’s best to go for NIT Kurukshetra unless you have any financial constraints. 

According to a senior of mine who has graduated from NIT Raipur, the institute is better than most top colleges in Bangalore including VIT institutes.

Despite having a soft spot for NIT Raipur, she does not discourage candidates from trying their luck at any other university, including VITs. She, however, suggests that they should get acquainted for measuring progress after completion of the undergraduate degree.

Campus:

• VIT campus is definitely better than the NIT Raipur campus. Although the NIT Raipur has been considerably renovated. 
• The VIT campus will cost around 2 lakhs per year which includes hostel fees as well. Education at NIT Raipur will cost around 0.5 lakhs.

Course:

• The course of VIT will not have any effect on your CSE placement. 
• On the other hand, your coding skills and DS+Algo will have a part to play in your placement. Either way, the effort is required regardless of how much you pay.

Placements:

• By the time you graduate, if you choose NIT Raipur, that is, the institute will pretty much be holding its own among other giants. My senior said two of her batchmates landed a 75 LPA package without paying hefty college fees.
• VIT, being a private college, is known to boost their placement records. In addition to that, they have a management quota as well which goes on to say that not all the best minds will be found there.
• A friend of my seniors had a good rank and went to VIT. He got chosen in three companies. VIT attracts employers in large numbers but they offer packages of only around 3-3.5 LPA.

In the case of NIT Raipur, almost every candidate will get at least one job, in recent years many also bagged two jobs. The ones who have, get a package of 4-8 LPA for the first job, and a package of as much as 16-17 LPA for the second job. Candidates who do not get a second job also land a job with a package of 4-8 LPA. 

Overall, it is safe to say that CSE from NIT Raipur will be a good option.

One of my friends has completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s in CS from IIIT Hyderabad and still suggested his younger brother go for IIT Madras. 

He feels that IIIT Hyderabad certainly gives you an edge in getting placed initially but it restricts your prospects to a large extent. IIT Madras on the other hand gives a wider perspective and scope. Students get to learn specifics in their sub-field.

The lab facilities offered at both institutes are equally good. However, you can join as an intern/RA later in any of these institutes. So this affects the research edge in specific areas. IIT Madras seems to have better research options mainly because of its huge size.

Outside life shouldn’t be a problem in either institute because both are excellently located and offer a great urban life. So look at the vegged picture and choose wisely!
