Even though IIT Bhubaneswar is comparatively new in this race, it is not far behind top NITs like Surathkal/Warangal. Here are a few comparisons among these institutions for their B.Tech CSE courses:

Parameters	NIT Surathkal CSE	NIT Warangal CSE	IIT Bhubaneswar CSE
NIRF Ranking: Engineering 2023	12	21	47
Total Course Fee	INR 5.74 Lakh	INR 6.19 Lakh	INR 10.40 Lakh
Highest Package 2023	INR 54.75 LPA	INR 88 LPA	INR 55.75 LPA
Average Package 2023	INR 18.26 LPA	INR 30.80 LPA	INR 25.18 LPA
Top Recruiters	Amazon, Microsoft, etc.	Accenture, DE Shaw, Reliance, etc.	Amazon, HCL, Microsoft, etc.
Coding Clubs/Societies	Systems & Security group, Intelligence Group	DSC (Developer Students Club)	Web and Design Society, Nakshatra, The Astronomy Club

IITs are generally better known, and have a stronger brand recognition compared to NITs. An ‘IIT’ tag holds a better reputation on national and global level. Additionally, IITs typically have a higher faculty to student ratio and better infrastructure compared to NITs.

As a result, IITs offer better academic support and opportunities for students. Though the rankings of NITK and NIT Warangal are much higher, this can be attributed to their much older legacy. IIT Bhubaneswar is a new institution with modern infrastructure and facilities. NIT Warangal has slightly better placements for CSE, but IIT Bhubaneswar is performing undoubtedly well in this regard.

Because of all these reasons, I would say that IIT Bhubaneswar is better than NIT Surathkal/Warangal for B.Tech CSE.

Old NITs like Surathkal or Warangal have an established stature in terms of placements, courses, faculty, infrastructure, etc. They offer a strong faculty base and learning environment to its students. For example, NIT Surathkal has consistently maintained a placement percentage of 90%+ for the BTech CSE branch. Some top companies that visit the campus for final placements are Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.

New IITs have also set a promising position for Btech CSE. IIT Indore hosts a variety of projects and events related to competitive programming/coding. Placement records are also good at these IITs. For example, IIT Bhubaneswar records 100% placements of students from the CSE branch with an average package of 11.44 Lakhs INR per annum. Some companies that visit the campus for final placements include Reliance Jio, Amazon, Deloitte, Oracle etc.

You should weigh the pros and cons and join the institute with the better CSE program and not join a college only for the brand value.
