ECE in NIT Jamshedpur would be a better option than IT in BIT Mesra considering the facts given below. One of my friends pursued her ECE degree from NIT Jamshedpur and had a good experience. 

Placements: (Winning Institution - NIT Jamshedpur)

• The placements in NIT Jamshedpur for the ECE branch are much better than IT placements in BIT Mesra. 
• Most of the students of NIT Jamshedpur get placed in the software companies, only a few core ECE companies visit the campus.

• Most of the time you have to study on your own or along with your friends.

• NIT Jamshedpur takes really good care of its students. Facilities like hostels and mess are really awesome. From the tasty food of mess to the clean rooms of the hostel, everything is just perfect. 
• My friend visited BIT Mesra for a workshop and according to her experience, the food at the campus is not that good. Their facilities are not up to the mark. 

The following tables have a comparison of the BIT Mesra and NIT Jamshedpur.

Considering all the facts mentioned above, NIT Jamshedpur stands out to be the better option.

Infrastructure wise VIT is one of the most impressive colleges with state of the art STM and the recently constructed machinery. It is enriched with plenty of greenery and the gender ratio is also good.

• Professors are diverse and the majority of them have tremendous skill.
• The library is excellent. You will gain everything that you require.
• It is a bit overpopulated but eventually, one will get the hang of it.
• One can also watch out for Itp programs for transferring to units abroad after completing 2 years in VIT.
• VIT has a far better Alumni connection than BIT Mesra.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:

Placement:

• Industrial talks from legendary employees from Microsoft, JP Morgan, etc. will give speeches to guide the students to streamline their career.
• The best aspect is the incredible club and chapter environment where one may even end up doing projects for the government. 
• Placements are far better than the BIT Mesra because it is geographically closer to Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore and proximity is an essential portion.

Ranking:

• The rankings published by the MHRD in NIRF certainly place VIT Vellore before BIT Mesra.
• VIT has under 550 subject ranks in chem use and sees in the world. Besides goes, experts fare well in all other tournaments. Endless hackathons to strengthen and test the student's skills.
• While rankings may or may not command the legacy, Vit Vellore provides you with a global environment where international students are also there.

BIT Pilani gives strong competition but Mesra isn’t even thought deserving of analysis and people might put government college and private college conditions but that shouldn’t be a factor of comparison.

The Biotech Department of BIT Mesra is average. If you want to join a core company after completing your degree, there are better alternatives. Maximum placement at the institute is in IT and Analytics. Among the companies that visit the campus for pavement, Nestle is the only one that is close to your area of interest. 

Here are some other facts that you need to know about the Biotech department. 

• The department has great faculty and infrastructure. Despite that, you will see many students consulting a lot of books for their course-work, as it is not close to the concept of engineering that they had in mind.
• As mentioned before, very few core companies visit the campus placement. One of my friends pursued Biotech from BIT Mesra and during her time Biotech students were allowed to sit for only a few consultancies as well. 

There are alumni of this institute who secure good off-campus placement offers on their own. So, getting a good job offer depends on your effort. This is a brief picture of BIT Mesra. The final decision is up to you.

If the student is receiving the same branch in both of these colleges, then one should choose BIT Mesra over MIT Manipal. But if the student is receiving anything other than CSE in MIT Manipal then better go for BIT Mesra. 

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions: 

Overview:

• Academics, Placements, Faculty, Internships are better in BIT Mesra if compared to MIT Manipal as it has comparatively low fees than MIT and provides better placements offers.
• Infrastructure, Hostel and Overall personality development are better at MIT Manipal and these varieties are really immense.
• MIT Manipal does not provide international placements and if the student is applying for masters then MIT's brand name is not that noticeable. 
• BIT Mesra does offer international placements and has a better brand name outside for masters if compared to MIT Manipal.
• If the student does a slight hard work and keeps up the grades in MIT Manipal during their first year then the student can easily get upgraded to the CSE branch. 
• Upgradation of the branch in BIT Mesra is remarkably tough. If the student gets any branch below the Civil in BIT Mesra then better favour to go for the MIT Manipal.

If the student is receiving anything similar to CS like IT in BIT Mesra then go for it. If the student is passionate about the branch they take, then they will do great wherever they go.

ECE, CSE, and IT departments are excellent at BIT Mesra. Although other core branches at NIT Rourkela are much better. 

A friend of mine is a student of BIT Mesra, so I have some idea about the campus. The campus is good and there are various club activities going on throughout the year. There are more than 10 student clubs of engineering departments, music, and culture including the Highlander Adventure Club, Engineering Society, etc.

Here's a table comparing the basics of both the institutes.

As you can see from the table above, BIT Mesra is so much costlier than NIT. The course fee will be half at NIT Rourkela. Choose BIT Mesra, only if you are ready to pay a huge amount of course fee.

My friend is pursuing MCA from BIT Mesra and they find it to be an average course academically but definitely a profitable one in the future because of BIT's brand value. BIT ranks #16th on the NIRF rankings but its infrastructure and quality of faculty members cannot be said to be the best. 

Highlight:

Here are some points to be noted. 

• BIT has turned a bit mercenary with its high fees of about INR 80,000 and the administration disregards the students.
• The placement rate is around 90% and that's one of the best things about BIT. Most of the seniors have been placed with names like Amazon, Hero Motocorp, and Axis Bank at an average pay of INR 4.5-6.7 LPA.
• The mess food is average as well. Almost every year there’s a hike in mess fee.

Here's a table highlighting the MCA program at BIT Mesra. 

BIT is one of the most reputed colleges in Eastern India and its brand value carries a lot of weight. The institute will surely help to kick start your career.

BIT Mesra is the main campus situated in Mesra, Ranchi. The Lalpur campus is an extension that deals with several other selected courses like BCA, MCA, MIT, MBA, IMCA and IMBA. The Lalpur campus is located at the Lalpur Chowk, Ranchi.

The below table will give you the details of courses offered, along with placement details in BIT Mesra and BIT Lalpur. 

BIT Lalpur is an extended campus of BIT Mesra. It offers only a selected course. In Undergraduate program Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), and in Postgraduate Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Computer Application (MCA), M.Sc degrees are offered.

Therefore, both the campuses are different from each other located at different locations. Both of them have their own recruiters and placement cell.

There are a couple of things you could do after getting placed in BIT Mesra. First of all they can enhance their coding and technical skills, because these are valued by every top recruiting company. Do not slag, because laziness will definitely drag you down and that may affect your overall preparation.

Do not stay up all night, losing sleep will surely make you unhealthy and create a bad habit overall. Instead workout, go to the gym, play outdoor games and keep yourselves active. 

The final projects need more dedication and preparation, because these will serve as a strong point in your portfolio, which will be later analyzed by the recruiters. So, improvement of the final project is of utmost importance. Do not keep it incomplete till the last minute, it will only put pressure on your overall performance.
