Both the colleges have their own reputation. My father is an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad while one of my brothers is pursuing Law from Aligarh Muslim University. Being a part of two prestigious colleges like IIM Ahmedabad and AMU, when they sit together and discuss something be it Law, ongoing cases, or any other matter, they both have a very different perspective.
My father gives proficient suggestions in legal fields as well. He being an IIMian, believes in talking systematically. He is very patient in carving out solutions to every problem. He used to tell me the time of his MBA at IIM Ahmedabad. During his days of MBA, people were not very crazy about pursuing an MBA. But in his opinion doing MBA is the best opportunity to be a part of an institute like IIM Ahmedabad.

If you are really devoted enough, you will definitely find IIM-A a great place to learn and grow.
My friend studied at IIEST Shibpur but it was a long time ago. The quality of pedagogy back then was good, however now one can't say much of it. Also personally, CS does not have the best faculty in AMU.
If you wish to compare the state of teaching in the institutions, just log in to the official website and go through the qualifications of the faculty members. Check both the academic achievements of the faculty in general, as well as that of the departments.
If you live near Shibpur then it'll be easier to commute, however, if you live far away then you can choose AMU. You must note that IIEST Shibpur's IT department might have to shut down and you may regret your decision during placements.
In terms of academics, AMU is better. Being a central University, it offers better facilities and resources. It also has a locational advantage. Due to the proximity to Delhi NCR, it's easier to get placement opportunities, internships, and projects. AMU placements have been great for B.Tech. According to the recent placement drive, the median CTC offered was INR 8 LPA. Marque Impex, Genpact, EFS Facilities Service Pvt. Ltd. etc. Took part in the placement drive.
