Having friends in both IIIT Guwahati and BITS Pilani, I can say that colleges are well recognized in India and abroad.
CSE and Mechanical are completely different from each other. CSE definitely has more advantages over Mechanical. It’s worth mentioning that CSE growth has been on a positive incline and will remain so. There is much more demand for CSE than that of Mechanical in today’s world.
Now coming to the second option giving the institute a preference then BITS Pilani is way too ahead of IIIT Guwahati. BITS Pilani has better international outreach than any IIIT so it will be really helpful if you have decided to study abroad for your higher studies.

Special Facts
A total of 89 companies visited IIT Bhubaneswar in 2020 with 51% recruitment for core engineering industries through companies like L & T Construction, Tata Steel, and Renault Nissan; the data for the ECE program at BITS Goa is low due to the fact that the first placements are still being conducted.
Among the above three, CS at BITS Goa is the best institute to opt for. Agreeing with a few of my friends studying there, I can say that it provides better placements and wider industry exposure.
BITS Goa offers the best curriculum among the three, with no reservation, and offering flexible courses. Through the course, the faculty helps in all sorts of projects and thesis related works. Thought-provoking ideas are extremely encouraged.

IIT Tirupati
BITS Pilani is considered to be a premier engineering institute and EEE students have higher opportunities and lucrative offers compared to civil at the present time. IIT Tirupati being a newly established college has still to offer a lot more facilities in the coming years. Hence, it is up to the individual to make an informed choice.
Here is a comparative analysis of both colleges.
Concluding, BITS Goa CSE seems to be a better option than IIT Bhubaneshwar Mechanical, in terms of overall reputation, placement rate, and average CTC. BITS Goa, however, has a higher fee structure than IIT Bhubaneshwar, but better CTC compensates it quite well.
