This question sparks a debate among people. You might find some say that even biotechnology at NIT C is better than CSE at BITS Goa; all these are baseless claims. It is strongly suggested to look at the placement statistics before reaching a conclusion.

BITS Goa is way better than NIT Calicut. Forget biotechnology, even CSE at BITS Goa is better than CSE at NIT C.

At NIT C, if you go for biotechnology, you will be placed through mass recruitment in companies like TCS, with a maximum salary of 3 lakhs. These companies have no connection with biotechnology. However, CSE at BITS, Goa can get you placed even at Google. This is definitely not a baseless claim, pre-placement offers and the number of GSOC selections are enough evidence for the same.

Comparing BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani ≥ IIIT Hyderabad. The greater than symbol is only because of how old the institutes are. So finally this goes like BITS Goa ≥ IIIT Delhi ≥ BITS Hyderabad.

ENI stands for Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering while EEE is Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Having known some people studying at both these institutions, I can say that BITS Goa is better than NIT Surathkal.

• In terms of infrastructure, BITS Goa is obviously better than NIT Surathkal. 
• Better companies visit BITS Goa campus than NIT Surathkal. 
• The course curriculum and the quality of academic projects are also better at BITS Goa. 
• The faculty at BITS Goa is also top-notch.
• In between the two branches, both are almost the same barring a few subjects (3 subjects to be precise). 
• The course load, placements, and projects all are similar between the two. 
• As these are core branches, getting placed in the core companies is going to be difficult at either of the institutes. 

Finally, I would say that ENI at BITS Goa is very good and actually might be a little better than EEE at NIT Surathkal.

There are 2 factors involved here. First is the branch and the second is the institute. Speaking course wise ECE and EEE are somewhat similar and offer good career opportunities. You can choose either according to your interest. 

NIT Delhi is 2 years younger than BITS Hyderabad campus and 6 years younger than BITS Goa campus. The older the institute offers better opportunities and better known. 

So BITS has an edge over NIT Delhi in providing the best opportunities when the institute factor is taken. BITS also has much more recruiters than NIT Delhi. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad is around 5 LPA.

In terms of your degree, it will not mention the campus you studied at but that you got a degree from BITS Pilani. There is also no difference in the coursework or material.  But, when it comes to differences, here are some of the major ones:

• In terms of discipline, the Goa campus is strict due to obvious reasons and Pilani is a little lenient that way. But that does not mean you will be restricted. It is the perfect balance of discipline and fun.
• You will find that the grading is also quite tough in Goa as compared to Pilani. The faculty at Pilani are quite helpful but some could be tough on you.
• You will find some cultural differences between the two campuses. There isn’t a stark contrast but small things that make a difference like the way students join a department, etc.
• BITS Pilani has always topped Goa in terms of reputation. But, CSE at Goa is much better than Pilani. This is because students at Goa have won quite a few competitions and gotten better than Pilani. It also has more GSoC selections.
• BITS Pilani is located quite isolated with extreme cold -2 degrees Celsius and extreme heat of 50 degrees Celsius. There is not much to do outside the campus. You can drive down to Delhi or Jaipur which are about 3 to 4 hours away. Goa is better located in that aspect. You can take a 40 min drive to the main city or even drive to Mumbai if you like.

If you think curriculum is what makes the difference between the two campuses, that is not the case. It is more about the day-to-day living at the college and other events.

BITS Pilani Goa campus is obviously a much bigger brand than Thapar University. So you will definitely get better placement opportunities at the BITS Pilani Goa campus rather than Thapar University.

Take a look at some of the statistics of Thapar University for the year 2019-20.

BITS Pilani does not release an official placement report. However, according to my friends at the institute, the average CTC offered at the institute is 5 LPA and the highest CTC offered is INR 1.4 crores.
