IIIT Guwahati offers a great ECE program. It follows a mixed curriculum of IIITH and IITG. The best thing about the course is that you are only required to study the core subjects of ECE steam. There are no unnecessary subjects such as Mechanical workshop, Engineering Graphics, etc.
The departmental labs are well-equipped with the latest technology and equipment. There are separate robotics cum research labs in collaboration with IITB.
Over the years, IIIT Guwahati placements have been great for ECE. The average CTC for the branch is around INR 5.2 LPA, and the highest CTC is INR 12 LPA.
The overall fee structure in UEM Kolkata keeps changing. But, there are no major modifications to it over the last few years.

The general preference order is
However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.
Doing something that interests you is considerably superior in the long run to doing something you dislike solely for money since, after a few years, money no longer motivates you.
Here are some information to make your decision easier:-
Keeping aside the public’s opinion, my preference order is
IIT Kanpur Electrical > IIT Roorkee CS > IIT Bombay Mechanical
Most students join IITs with the mindset of changing their branch to a more preferred one after the first year. But in reality, once you come here you will realize that branch hardly matters here. This is because most students, especially those with no specific area of interest, which seems to be your case too, tend to go for non-core jobs for which the branch does not matter. What matters is your CPI and your overall profile and achievements.
Those adamant about changing their branch can avail of the facility easily. The branch change depends on 2 factors, your CGPA and the availability of seats in the branch you want to get changed into.
Honestly, it’s almost impossible to get a branch change into top branches like Mech, Electrical, or CSE. The chances are rare but worth trying. Most companies consider students from all the departments for placements. So, IIT Kanpur is a good option whether you want a branch change or not.

I am a Civil Engineering student at IIT Delhi.
Even though CoE/ CSE/ IT are much more sought after by students in the present times, I would choose Civil at IIT Delhi over CoE at NSUT.
Here are the reasons for the same:

However, based on the various reasons listed above, I would recommend you choose IIT Delhi Civil Engineering over NSUT CoE.
Some of my colleagues have completed their B.Tech CSE from MANIT Bhopal.
Here are the key points based on their experience-
Make the most of your stay at MANIT Bhopal and study hard from the first year itself. If you do this, you’ll find CSE at MANIT to be quite good.

My friend is currently in his final year of CSE in VIT and is also working at IBM, Pune for my semester-long internship. VIT and VIIT have a common Training and Placement Officer who oversees the placements of both colleges. In my opinion, VIT CSE is way better than EnTC in terms of placements. My friends in EnTc who score better than my friend in VIIT CSE are still struggling for decent jobs. VIIT CSE students get offers from companies that visit the campus almost every week. Although VIT allows EnTC students to appear for software jobs, most software companies prefer taking CSE students mainly because they have studied the relevant subjects for 4 years.
Moreover, VIT is autonomous. I would recommend you choose CSE even if the colleges are similar because the CSE curriculum and syllabus will guarantee your entry into the Software or IT industry. Another added advantage is that VIT has a system of compulsory semester-long internships in either of the semesters of the 4th year. Students receive internship offers from big companies that likely get converted into placement offers for CSE. This may not be the case for any other college in the entire Pune.
My friends in EnTC are now struggling to pursue higher studies or jobs in the Software industry. So go for VIT without any second thoughts.
IIT Patna CSE branch is known for the best placements. However, there is not much difference between ECE and CSE but it has maintained a legacy in CSE.
