Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU are highly comparable to each other in terms of academic and professional excellence. However, both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses and my answer will guide you to make the most appropriate choice
Course structure: The course structure of both EE at IIT BHU and ECE at IIT Guwahati is similar and has very few differences.
Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure because of its later establishment. IIT Guwahati is known for its extremely beautiful campus with rich natural beauty.
Alumni: Being older, IIT BHU has a longstanding legacy of excellence. This has a positive effect on the placements.
Culture: IIT BHU has a rich and dynamic work culture that is generally not found in engineering colleges.
Faculty and peer pool: Both IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati have excellent faculty and peer pool being reputed institutions.
Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations and there is no fixed right or better choice.

If you have not so many ideas about the stream and do not aware of the institutional tag; then it is better to choose E&TC in DAVV. Besides, if you are considering these two institutes, then both are quite similar in terms of academics. However, E&TC also has many other fields in the future, so that the job opportunity might be expanded. Hence, it will be best to go for E&TC over EI.

As you may be aware, KJ Somaiya is autonomous, so the curriculum and coursework are both flexible. Furthermore, the exams will end earlier, resulting in longer vacations that can be used effectively for internships or summer courses. Because of its autonomous status, a large number of companies come to recruit.
If you score 50% overall, you are eligible to apply to all companies. Whatever your field, the same set of companies will come, and if you aren't eligible, you can apply from elsewhere.
Choosing a particular college or a department actually depends on you, and how you want to shape your career ahead. Having known some people who study in both these institutions, I can say that they all have their fair share of strengths and weaknesses.
I might not be able to help you select one among them, because they are both good in their own ways. So, I will share some information about them which might help you make the choice.

It is suggested that you go for the more experienced institute, as it will prove to be better for your career ahead. You will get to learn new skills and take part in seminars and industry visits, to get a slice of the corporate world.
Yes, VIT Pune is definitely a great choice for Instrumentation engineering in Maharashtra, then you are left with a few choices. In Pune, COEP is best.
So VIT Pune is an excellent choice for Instrumentation and Control Engineering.
There are both pros and cons regarding the EI branch in IET Lucknow. The important ones are listed below:
Pros:
Cons:
Moreover, IET Lucknow is a top-ranking institute and various students have topped in GATE. The competition is also low and you can go for it.
I am a student of IIT Kanpur. In terms of infrastructure and facilities, IIT Kanpur is way ahead of IIT BHU. It is one of the oldest and topmost IITs. Even though IIT BHU was actually established in 1919 as Banaras Engineering College, it became an IIT in 2012.
Here is a comparison between the Electronics branch of IIT BHU and Chemical branch of IIT Kanpur based on multiple factors:

(The branch-wise data for 2024 placements of IIT BHU is not yet available. On the other hand, the IIT Kanpur 2024 placements are still ongoing, because of which, the figures are comparatively very small).
If you wish to jump into an IT career, Electronics is a better choice as compared to Chemical. However, IIT Kanpur will provide you with much better exposure, and much wider opportunities as compared to IIT BHU. Additionally, you can learn coding even as a student of Chemical Engineering. This way, even if you don’t get as many IT-based job opportunities on campus, you’ll easily get an off campus offer. The IIT Kanpur tag will help you get into top international universities for higher studies and research work.
Based on these factors, I would suggest you choose Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur over Electronics at IIT BHU.
IET DAVV, Indore is a good option for Electronics and Instrumentation branch. It offers decent academics, faculties, and placements. The placement opportunities offered are mostly in IT/CS domain. No core companies from EI take part in the campus drive. According to the recent highlights of IET DAVV placements, the average and highest CTC offered for the branch are INR 3.5 LPA and INR 11 LPA, respectively. Companies such as HSBC, MuSigma, Byjus, Accenture, etc. took part in the placement drive.
Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.
IIT BHU ECE
IIT Guwahati ECE
IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing
IIIT Hyderabad CSE
Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.
