What should I take, CSE at IIT Ropar or IIT Dhanbad?

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he got both CSE at IIIT Delhi and CSE at IIT Patna.

Although he lived in Delhi, he did not choose IIIT Delhi and went for IIT Patna instead. There were a number of reasons why he chose Patna. 

• He wanted to avail the benefits of the IIT tag. 
• He believed that the new IITs are developing at a fast rate and in a few years, their CSE departments would be at par with that of old IITs.
• IITs also have a better crowd because of the high cutoffs.
• IIT Patna being a government-funded college, has amazing infrastructure, placements, facilities, and labs.
• When it comes to cultural fests, nothing can beat the IITs.
• IITs have more interdisciplinary activities which aid in research and also give you an insight into the other departments.

Ultimately, Delhi has a better location but that is outweighed by the IIT tag.
