When considering options for Electrical Engineering, it's important to compare the various institutes to determine which one would be the best fit for you. Here is some information on BIT Mesra, PEC Chandigarh, NIT Raipur, and NIT Silchar to help you make an informed decision:

BIT Mesra:

• Better opening and closing ranks in JOSAA, but is a private institute
• Good curriculum with a focus on practical learning
• Good track record of placements, with companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Tata Motors visiting the campus
• Opportunities for research and innovation through various clubs and societies
• A vibrant campus life with a range of extracurricular activities and events

PEC Chandigarh:

• Better ranking and is one of the oldest and prestigious engineering colleges in India (established in 1921)
• Under JAC Chandigarh counselling
• Strong reputation for academic excellence and industry-oriented curriculum
• Ample opportunities for research and innovation, with state-of-the-art labs and research facilities
• Good track record of placements, with companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Tata Motors visiting the campus
• A rich campus life with a range of extracurricular activities and events

NIT Raipur and NIT Silchar:

• Average NITs with a decent track record of placements
• Offer a good curriculum with a focus on practical learning
• Provide ample opportunities for research and innovation, with state-of-the-art labs and research facilities
• Offer a good campus life with a range of extracurricular activities and events

Based on the above information, PEC Chandigarh appears to be a better option for Electrical Engineering among these institutes. However, it is always a good idea to investigate further on your own to make an informed decision. You can go through both JOSAA and JAC Chandigarh counselling to get a better idea of the available options and make a decision accordingly.

IIT Mandi is a comparatively better option than IIT Dhanbad. IIT Mandi offers effective classes with good college facilities and an eco-friendly atmosphere away from the rush of the city. 

Most significantly, you can easily change the branch after fulfilling the required criteria. IIT Mandi provides good hostel facilities and a resourceful campus to the students, which will help them study in comfort. 

IIT Dhanbad will stress you with work and exams and is not good for your research work, but they offer commentable extracurricular activities to the students. If you are highly passionate about your studies and looking for a career in security, then you can definitely opt for IIT Mandi. 

Irrespective of the IIT you choose, CS placements are excellent everywhere with very lucrative packages offered to its top rankers. A good student can pay a package as high as INR 30-40 LPA in CS whereas the same students will only end up with a package of INR 10–15 LPA.

While many may comment that placements should not be the only determining factor, I am here to contradict that opinion. CS is a branch that is dynamic and any engineering aspirants will be attracted to it naturally while other branches are a bit rigid and require specific attention. 

As far as CSE at IIT BHU is concerned, it’s at par with most older IITs. The majority of the batch is pre-placed or placed on the first day itself. A few top recruiters include Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.

Irrespective of whichever branch you are getting the preference order for the aforementioned NITs is NIT A > NIT B > NIT R. 

However, your interest plays a big role in determining the right branch for you. Some choose a branch they are genuinely interested in while some go for a branch that provides better opportunities. 

In the first case, their passion leads them in their career while in the second case, the plethora of opportunities will be the guiding light. Students are in general confused about choosing a good college over a good branch or vice versa. I will advise you to always prioritize your interests in that case because you will have to pursue that field not just for 4 years of graduation but throughout life. 

Here is a brief overview of these colleges:

However, not everyone is lucky to get what they desire. So if you end up in a branch you have no interest in, then try to gain interest slowly.

Both IIT Mandi and IIIT Delhi are excellent institutions with well-established programs in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science respectively. The decision of which one to attend should depend on your personal preferences and academic goals rather than the quality of the branch. IIT Mandi is known for its strong emphasis on research, while IIIT Delhi is known for its focus on applied technology.

Both colleges give an edge to each other in terms of placements and quality of education offered. If you aren’t certain of your preference yet, it's best to go for IIT Mandi. There are 2 main reasons why I prefer IIT Mandi to IIIT Delhi.

• Firstly, one can never underestimate the value of the IIT tag. It’s like attaching yourself to a branch for the rest of your life. 
• Secondly, IIT Mandi is well known for its lenient branch change. This helps you explore multiple branches in the first year and then finalize the most preferred branch in the second year. It’s a win-win situation in either case.

However, solely relying on branch change is not wise and you should analyze other angles also.
