Firstly, there is no doubt that IIITMG has a better reputation, placement record, and facilities as it is nearly 8 years older than IIITDMJ. But this is only one side of the coin and most people don't see the other side of the coin. Let me show you these in broader aspects
Talking about placements, IIITM G may have a better placement record but we also must not forget that we are comparing graduates with undergraduates. We are comparing a student with a dual degree to a student with a single degree and hence this comparison is not fair.

Coming to the dual degree, you must think twice before enrolling in a dual degree course. 2 cases may are:
I will advise you to have a deep discussion with your parents, go through some articles and then decide which one is good for you.
Both of these colleges are good. VIT is the best private engineering college in India. Whereas CUSAT is also a reputed institute. CUSAT is a government college, and VIT is a private college. Thereby, you will get a better facility in VIT rather than in CUSAT.
Hostel Facilities: (Winning Institution - VIT)
However, the hostel facilities are also not up to the mark in CUSAT. But VIT offers good hostel accommodation. But VIT charges a lot for hostels.
Course Fee & Infrastructure: (Winning Institution - VIT)
Placement: (VIT ~ CUSAT)
You will get good exposure in both of these institutes. Placement records of both of these colleges are also outstanding. If you work hard, you can bad a decent salary package from the campus placement from any of these colleges.
The table below gives a brief overview of both institutes.

If you want to get better infrastructural facilities and good food and lodging, then you should go for VIT. But CUSAT is more affordable and it is also a good choice with excellent placement statistics.
It is difficult to compare PGDM Core or MMS Core at KJ Somaiya. However, from the placement point of view, there is no difference as both the courses have common placements.

PGDM Core:
At KJ Somaiya Institute of Management, students who enroll for the PGDM core program are open to a flexible option of adding or changing their subjects as per their interest as the management is very accommodating if students can provide a valid reason for the change.
The curriculum is updated with the industry trends and the institute organizes multiple fests, workshops, and extra-curricular activities to ensure that students get the most out of their educational experience.
Students can choose from a range of specialized courses in International Business, Financial Services, Marketing Communication, and Retail Management.
Most of the students have a minimum of 2 to 3 years of work experience and come from all across the country, providing for a diverse and multi-cultural environment. Students receive a diploma degree in management at the end of the program which is equivalent to an MBA degree.
MMS Core:
The MMS degree program on the other hand has core management modules. Since the course structure has now become autonomous, the changes and updates in the curriculum are done as per the house faculty. In case of any additions or removal of subjects or modules, the institute will be fully in charge of it, without having to seek permission from the university.
The majority of the students are locals with more than 50% of Gujarati students and freshers as part of the batch.
At the end of the program, students receive an MBA degree.
While the placements and companies that visit are the same for both the courses, students can choose the course based on what they are expecting out of an MBA program.
If there is something unique to every IIM, then it’s their diverse environments. IIM Kozhikode has its own unique environment.
I think the most distinguishing characteristic of IIM Kozhikode has to be its resort-like infrastructure and location. One of my friends attended the Backwaters event in 2010. She narrated her experience of the same saying her 3-day stay at IIM Kozhikode was no less than a vacation. The college is seated at the top of a hill overlooking lush green fields. The view from the top is fantastic and you won’t regret coming here even a bit.
IMS Ghaziabad offers a great advantage for placements. The college only has one campus which attracts companies directly.
On the other hand, Jaipuria Institute of Management provides updated management education through its four campuses in Lucknow, Noida, Jaipur, and Indore, making use of a variety of teaching methods and providing a supportive and open learning environment. This results in a high placement rate across various sectors and levels, with comparable salary packages.
DSATM (Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology and Management) is a constituent college under DSU (Dayananda Sagar University)
According to my friends who are alumni of DSU, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (Kumaraswamy Layout) is the best choice under DSU rather than DSATM. Both the colleges have common placements, so it will not be a problem. Also, placement for both institutes takes place at DSCE.
The quality of education and life is better at DSCE. The facilities offered at DSCE include sports, hostels, a well-equipped library, and Yoga & Meditation by Yoga experts.
Overall, the wise choice will be DSCE under DSU.
Allahabad University LLB will be a better option. Being a central university it offers better academics and resources. The Law faculty of Allahabad University is excellent. The environment on campus is competitive and inspires learning. As a student of AU, you will also have a locational advantage, since Allahabad Highcourt is located closer to the campus.
Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT) is a private Engineering College in Coimbatore. It has been ranked at 82 among the top engineering colleges in India by NIRF. It has a campus of about 156 acres with a total of 5,974 enrolled students.

Here was a brief detail of both the colleges. It depends on the preferences of the students and their demands for selecting either of them.
NIT Durgapur is superior to NIT Jalandhar. NIT Durgapur is older than NITJ and thus has a larger alumni base. NIT Jalandhar was founded later to provide better infrastructure, but NITD is currently undergoing massive infrastructure modernization. Because it is in Bengal, and Bengal has produced well-known scientists and scholars, the environment for research is favorable. Mechanical engineering is one of the best fields here.
The CSIR CMERI (Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute) is located directly across the street from the NITD main campus and has an MOU with the university. NITD has one of the best coding cultures in the world. The rankings of institutes can be found on international coding competition websites.
Ranking wise Dalhousie University is good and the Job opportunity-wise University of Windsor is better, Halifax has more part-time job opportunities and fewer full-time jobs and the pay scale is lower and the tax is higher. As an international student, you might face difficulty with tuition and funding. At Halifax you will get plenty of parttime jobs. Since Halifax is also larger than Windsor, you will have more options.

Both universities have good placement with an 85.91% Employment rate of the University of Windsor and 84% Employment rate of Dalhousie University.
The University of Windsor is known for many leading programs like Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, Education, Engineering, Graduate Studies, Human Kinetics, Law, Nursing, Business, and Science whereas Dalhousie University is known for its programs like Arts & Humanities, Clinical, pre-clinical & health, Engineering & Technology, Life sciences, Physical sciences, Social sciences, and Business & Economics.
QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2020 has ranked only Dalhousie University at #301-500. Selecting a university depends upon your priority. If you want to get a good education go for Dalhousie University but to get settled early in Canada go for Windsor University. Overall Dalhousie University is the potential choice as you can always move to Ontario if you don't find any job in Nova Scotia.
