It all depends on your personal preferences and what appeals to you the most. However, if none of these two branches piques your attention, then definitely mechanical engineering in PEC is the way to go.

It would be advised that mechanical is always a better choice than aerospace. You can choose to go for Mechanical engineering without giving it much thought and discussion.
One of my friends is an alumnus of PEC Chandigarh. According to him, the Mechanical branch has good placement statistics. Here are a few highlights of the branch that may be helpful.
Lastly, if you have options to go for better NITs such as Allahabad, Bhopal, Raipur, etc. go for it. Many reputed PSUs visit the campus placements of these NITs and offer Design profiles.
Both institutes will offer you placements in the field of software and very few core company opportunities.
The architecture course in KLU is good and maintains discipline. In terms of campus and infrastructure, KLU has a superior view. Vignan University, on the other hand, has an average campus.
You must choose KLU as it is updated with the latest education policies and equipment. In the placement drive held in KLU in 2021, the results have been near perfect when it came to placing the students in companies and firms that are reputed, in turn, resulted in 100% placement.
A total of 65 students got placed and the highest package offered to the students was INR 7 LPA. The average package offered was 3.5 LPA. More than 60 companies visited the campus. TCS offered 267 jobs and Cognizant offered 121 jobs.
Among these, VIT Pune is the best option for Mechanical Engineering.
VIT, VIIT, and MIT three of these colleges are autonomous, and they update their curriculum regularly. So, you can expect similar academics from all three of these institutes.
CUSAT IT has better placement record than Mechanical Engineering. Major software companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Oracle, Cognizant, Tata Project, etc. visit the campus placement each year. According to the highlights of CUSAT placements, students receive an average CTC of around INR 4.3 LPA. While the highest CTC offered is around INR 40 LPA.
Both the colleges, BIT Mesra and NIT Raipur are two profound colleges of the nation but comparing them based on different branches is not justified.
Talking about the mechanical and computer science branch, the scope of computer science is the higher and mechanical branches.

Choosing between the two, opt for NIT Raipur, CSE branch due to the scope of the particular domain.
Having talked to people at NIT Raipur and HBTU Kanpur, I have gathered reasons why students should opt for NIT Raipur instead of HBTU Kanpur for B.Tech.
These are described below -
The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:

NIT Raipur |
HBTU Kanpur |
Median Salary |
Rs. 9.5 lakhs |
Rs. 7.18 lakhs |
Highest Salary |

Rs. 60 lakhs |

Overall, NIT Raipur is the potential choice for B.Tech rather than HBTU Kanpur. Even students of HBTU also prefer NIT Raipur over their college.
Having friends in both the colleges, I can say that MNIT Jaipur and IIIT Lucknow are equally good in their own ways. If you get a chance in any of these colleges, go for it.
Apart from getting admission in any one of either the only thing which would give you trouble is which field to choose? But, I would like to say that whatever field you choose, if you work hard and be honest with your studies you will land in a better place.

And talking about IIIT Lucknow, Their campus just started functioning in 2020. Earlier IIIT Lucknow runs from IIIT Allahabad campus.
Further, getting a job in core trade is very difficult to go to IIIT Lucknow but do check the infrastructure and previous year placement record of IIIT otherwise join MNIT Jaipur in mechanical without any second thought.
One of my close friends graduated from BVM and my sister was in LD. Based on their reviews BVM is a way better option for mechanical engineers compared to LD Engineering College. The reason behind this is, it is one of the oldest colleges in Gujarat. Some more significant points which will make you drift towards BVM includes:
Here are some details about the two colleges which might help you to make a precise decision:
Particulars | Mechanical at BVM | Mechanical at LD Engineering College |
Fees (Total) | 5.24 lakh | 6,000 |
Highest Package Offered | 12 LPA | 8 LPA |
Average Package Offered | 3.1 LPA | 4.5 LPA |
Top Recruiters | Infosys, Essar, TCS, L&T, etc. | Harvey Associates, MG motors, Welspun, Reliance, etc. |
Both the colleges are great, but It is suggested you go for BVM among the two. Because a good environment is necessary to concentrate on studies.
There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.
If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.
The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.

However, if you are thinking of branch change after entering the college then MNIT Jaipur does not provide that option while PEC Chandigarh offers that option. So choose one according to what matters more to you.
