Since you are not particularly interested in any one branch, you should consider things like the institute's reputation, placement history, alumni network, and branch flexibility while choosing an engineering programme.

Preference Order Analysis

Option	Institute Reputation	Brand Demand	Placement	Key Points
NIT Warangal CSE	Very High	Very High	Excellent	Most sought-after branch at a top NIT; strong placement and growth prospects.
IIIT Allahabad IT	High	Very High	Excellent	Specialized IT institute with strong industry connections.
NIT Surathkal ME	Very High	Moderate	Good	Mechanical engineering at a top NIT; placements good but not as high as CSE/IT.
NIT Warangal ECE	Very High	High	Excellent	Electronics and Communication is a versatile branch with good placements.
NIT Surathkal EEE	Very High	Moderate	Good	Electrical and Electronics; placements are good but not as high as CSE/ECE.

Prefer the branches and institutes with the best placement records and industry demand if you are not particularly interested in any of them. This strategy will help your post-graduation professional prospects.

Deciding on a branch for a degree is a very important aspect, considering the fact that the decision is not just for the four-year course, but for a lifetime.

For the branch choices given, you can follow the preference order given below.

CSE> ECE> IT> EEE> Mechanical

Also, you should prefer NITs over IIITs.

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, and IIIT Allahabad.

Particulars	NIT Surathkal	NIT Warangal	IIIT Allahabad
Total Fees (B.Tech)	Rs. 5.45 Lakhs	Rs. 5 Lakhs	Rs. 5.41 Lakhs
Median Salary Offered	Rs. 8 LPA	Rs. 9 LPA	Rs. 12.9 LPA

Branch selection is much more important than college selection for Engineering. Before making a choice in counseling, you should have a clear vision of the branch you prefer.

Other than that, there are some more factors to consider while selecting an institute. Some of them include course structure, placements, location of the institute, the weather of the institute’s location, etc.

If you are confused about the choices, you can read student reviews to have a better idea of the institutes.
