One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE.
