Always pursue what you are interested in because if you love to do something in a field particularly, you will definitely achieve heights. Since I have a few friends at PEC, I can give you some idea about the Metallurgy course offered there.

There are no such major differences between CS and IT departments as the course structure is very similar to both the departments except for a few subjects. Almost all companies accept students from both the departments for interviews.
But between these two colleges, you should choose KJ Somaiya College of Engineering as it will be a better choice and here are a few reasons.

So, choosing KJ Somaiya can be a very good option and the selection of the department completely depends on your interests and your requirements from the course.
Clearly, VIT Pune is better than VIIT Pune. Although both VIT and VIIT are autonomous under the same trust i.e. Bansilal Ramnath Agarwal Charitable Trust, VIT has been operating as an autonomous body for a long time as compared to VIIT. Being in this field for a long period grants them immense experience.
Given below is a brief overview of the cs program at VIIT Pune and VIT Pune.

Cutoff: (Winning Institute - VIT Pune)
VIT Pune has a higher cut-off than VIIT Pune.
In 2019 the closing cutoff for CS in round 3 of counseling was 1100 at VIT Pune. For VIIT Pune it was 2648 for the same.
The student-crowd is the best in VIT and you will be among hardworking and serious peers.
Placements: (Winning Institution - VIT Pune)
The placement opportunities are ahead in VIT Pune when compared to VIIT Pune.
For the 2020 batch, the highest package offered was 27 LPA and the average package stood at 6.68 LPA in VIT Pune.
More than 120 companies visited VIT Pune for recruitment.
VIT has experience in introducing changes to the curriculum, examination patterns, placements, etc and they execute the changes smoothly. You may feel the changes introduced are sudden and difficult to follow at VIIT. All these factors make VIT Pune a better option than VIIT Pune despite both being autonomous and being managed by the same trust.
Out of textile engineering from VJTI and CS from KJ Somaiya, CS from Somaiya will be a better choice. As one of my friends studied there, I am able to share some facts about it.

Choosing textile engineering from the VJTI can get a bit tricky further in your career. CSE is a much more reliable branch on which to focus your career. But if a person is interested in the textile branch and without any second thought, opt for VJTI, and if not then for KJ Somaiya.

I am a second-year student of ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.
I think you can go for B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar. Even though DTU is a reputed institute, it is mostly known in the Northern parts of India. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar carries the IIT tag, which is recognised nationally and globally.
As a central institution, IIT Bhubaneswar has a more diverse crowd as compared to DTU (also because DTU has a huge Delhi quota). This allows for a better exposure and exchange of values. This will in turn, help you in your profession when dealing with people from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds.
ECE is as good a branch as CoE/CSE, and you can easily get a job at an IT firm by learning coding on the side. Moreover, ECE students are allowed to sit for a large number of IT companies during placements.
Here’s a comparison between IIT Bhubaneswar and DTU for your reference:

Since the placements at both the institutions are good, I would recommend you consider the other factors and choose B.Tech ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar.

As the courses are different it is difficult to decide which will be the better option. You should choose the course you are more interested in.
Among these institutes, VIT Pune is better for CS. Academics, infrastructure, exposure, placements, internships, etc. are better at VIT.
Companies like Amazon, Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Nvidia, Tata Power, Atlas Copco, etc. are some of the major recruiters that frequently visit the campus placements.
