The details discussed above are going to assist you in making a wise decision for choosing your college. However, some of the criteria need to be fulfilled such as fees, eligibility, in order to seek admission at the universities.
IIT Gandhinagar is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than choosing BITS Pilani for Electrical and Electronics.
If you are interested in the Mechanical branch, you should definitely go for DTU Mechanical. DTU has one of the best Mechanical departments in the country. There are many tech teams and societies for the branch. Tech teams such as Defianz Racing, AUV DTU, UAS DTU, etc. even participated in competitions of international levels and won.
The placement records are also good for the branch. Many PSUs frequently visit the campus placement to recruit students. The highlights of DTU Mechanical Engineering placements show the average package to be INR 7 LPA. ONGC, Mahindra, etc. are among the top recruiting companies.
I think choosing ECE in IIT Bhubaneswar is the best option for you, However, CSE in BITS Hyderabad, and engineering physics in IIT Hyderabad are good options as well, it majorly depends on your preference.

Because Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orrisa and Indore is the most important and industrial capital of Madhya Pradesh, when it comes to geographical location, Indore has the upper hand with a slight advantage due to its weather.
Various ranking agencies have ranked IIT Bhubaneswar over the years. The NIRF 2022 ranked it 65th in the Overall Category and 36th in the Engineering Category in 2022 for its overall academic performance.
IIT Indore has been placed 16th in the NIRF Engineering Rankings 2022. IIT Indore has been ranked 31st in the overall category by the NIRF Rankings 2022, with an overall score of 55.13. THE World University Rankings 2022 place IIT Indore in the 401-500th range, and THE Young University Rankings 2022 place it in the 76th range.
Thus, IIT Indore is better in EE.
ECE and EEE, most of the syllabus is same and the subjects are considered as electrical core subjects like analog, digital electronics, signals, networks, etc. With courses being almost the same, the comparison comes down to other aspects of institutes.
If you aim to get good placement packages after finishing your degree to work then you should opt EE in IIT Bhubaneswar. In 2019 placement 86% EE batch was employed. PSUs hire directly from IITs with the new mandate by the government which gives students in IIT to pursue a career in PSU without having to clear GATE. Although for ECE the placement of IIIT Hyderabad is higher (10 LPA) compared to IIT Bhubaneswar.
IIIT Hyderabad also provides great infrastructure and laboratories and have been very well funded for research papers. IITs get their funds from the Govt. and both institutes are on equal pace in this aspect.
Campus life can be one more aspect that students may find interesting while selecting the course and college. Academics in IIIT Hyderabad ECE is considered to be advantageous compared to IIT Bhubaneswar EE, because of IIT BBS is a new institute.
Faculty members at IIIT Hyderabad are also some of the highly eligible professors and some of them are from old IITs.
Overall, when comparing both courses and institutes, IIIT Hyderabad comes on top, but the choice should be branch instead of college when both have equal pros and cons.
