Both the institutes are well-regarded in the field of technical education but if I had to choose one, I would have gone for IIT Indore without any second thoughts. Here’s why
All these points are more than enough to convince you to choose IIT Indore over IIT Ropar.
IIT BHU is a better choice than VJTI, SPCE, and COEP. But it totally depends on you; if you have a keen interest in the electrical or mechanical field, then go with the other options. At IIT BHU, you will have the advantage of a branch change policy; you can switch to the CSE department if you strive very hard. BHU has an effective academic structure, the best placement support, experienced scholars, an incredible campus, and a rich alumni network.

Make a wise decision by giving importance to personal choice. You will be able to excel in any institute if you have a strong passion for your subject
Rather than telling you which college is better let’s discuss some factors you should consider before deciding on your college. These will help you make the best choice.
Faculty: Look for the college with the oldest and most experienced faculty. They should encourage you to take upon new challenges in life rather than just teaching.
Infrastructure: To ensure that the 4 years you spend in college are worthwhile, proper infrastructure is very important. Applying your knowledge requires laboratories, libraries, and other facilities.
Exposure: Choose the college that renders the best exposure through seminars, workshops, guest levy, and technical visits to plants. This is way more necessary than just studying your books.
Placements: This is the most crucial factor taken into consideration while choosing your college. Compare the colleges you have in mind for the placement figures. You will get a general idea.
Proper research based on these factors will help you select the right college for you. Moreover, you can also search for alumni of both the mentioned colleges and ask them directly. They will be more than willing to help.
I always find comparing two branches very illogical because the entire purpose of branches is to cater to the interests of different people. One stream might be good for you but not for the other and vice versa.
An electrical engineer works with impressive technologies like microprocessors or communication systems. A computer engineer on the other hand achieves great things through his computer. It’s better to read about machine learning classification.
Some students prefer judging colleges on the basis of the kind of environment they offer. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati have a great academic environment and offer excellent exposure. Both the colleges are good in all aspects like placements, location, and academics. Don’t follow the trends and standards set by society and follow what your heart says!
Recently, IIT Patna has changed Electrical Engineering to Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Even before this, the Curriculum of the course was Electrical and Electronics(EEE), only the change in name has been done.
IIT Patna Electrical Engineering is one of the oldest branches of the institute and has the most experienced faculty pool. Many professors are members of various International forums such as IEEE. The EE department is known to publish many papers and works on various government and private-funded projects.
IIT Patna EEE has the best curriculum and culture because of its
Overall, the IIT Patna Engineering department is well-regarded and is a great choice.
To draw a comparison between CS at NIT Jalandhar and EE at MNIT Jaipur, let’s discuss the various factors below:
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of MNIT is slightly better than that of NIT Jalandhar. MNITs campus has the largest lecture theater complex in the whole of Asia. NIT's campus is away from the main city but it is also beautiful with a soothing ambiance.
Placement: Because of its location NIT Jalandhar faces a few drawbacks in the case of placements.
The conclusion is as follows:
If you prefer a future in the private sector, NIT is better for you. But if you are interested in Electrical MNIT is a good option.
If you are a coding freak, then CS at NIT Jalandhar is a better option.
If you want a job in Civil Services, then EE at MNIT is better than CSE at NIT Jalandhar.
If you want a better college and campus life then MNIT is a better option.
So CS at any college is a good choice but most importantly what matters is what you want to pursue actually.
Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata has a very good faculty for Electrical Engineering, probably the best in West Bengal. It has a very friendly environment which will aim to give you very promising college life.
This stream has been somewhat a new introduction to the institute. So in its early years, there was uncertainty in the placements. EE department fell short of the CSE, ECE, IT, AEIE. A lot of the graduates did not get placements by the end of their course.
In the last placement season, the highest package offered to the students was INR 16 LPA and the average package was INR 4 LPA. The top recruiters were TCS, Honda, Infosys, Wipro, etc.
Here are a few points about the electrical department of NIT Durgapur-
If you aren’t getting a good branch in Southern NITs, MNNIT Allahabad or MNIT Jaipur, you can definitely go for electrical at NIT Durgapur. The electrical department here is good overall.
As an alumnus of MANIT Bhopal, I will try to shed some light on the Electrical department of my college-
Overall, Electrical Engineering is a decent option, and you’ll enjoy your stay at MANIT Bhopal.
Looking at your choices I see you are victim to the most common dilemma among the Engineering aspirants; the core branch in old IITs or the CS branch in new IITs. The best way to determine this is by going through the course structure of both branches and seeing what interests you the most.
Inculcating basic programming skills side by side won’t hurt. It will help you realize if you are interested in coding or not. If you are, then IIT Indore is the best option for you because of its rich coding culture.
IIT Indore promotes coding through various clubs such as the programming club and even your seniors guide you throughout. But if you realize programming is not your cup of tea, you can give up on IIT Indore and choose IIT Roorkee instead. It’s an old IIT and thus the exposure and opportunities will be much better.
