Both IIIT Allahabad and BIT Mesra are excellent institutes offering top-quality education in various branches of engineering. But specifically for CS, IIIT Allahabad seems to be a better option. Had I been in your place I would have chosen IIIT Allahabad considering my strong passion for IT and CS

IIIT Allahabad is the best choice if you want to enter the IT field. It should be preferred over BIT Mesra if you are interested in CS/IT/ECE.
If you have no specific interest in CS, choosing IIIT Allahabad may limit your opportunities, and choosing BIT Mesra is a wiser decision in that case.
Location-wise, IIIT Allahabad fairs better than Mesra although you won't be able to enjoy much city life at either place.

Addressing the elephant in the room, the placement statistics of IIIT Allahabad are much better than BIT Mesra. Look at the table below

Particulars	BIT Mesra	IIIT Allahabad
Number of recruiters	235	200+
Highest CTC	INR 58.33 LPA	INR 1.4 CPA
Average CTC	INR 13.01 LPA	INR 19.57 LPA
Top Recruiters	Hashed In, Persistent Systems, Cognizant, Daffodil Software	Adobe, HSBC, Jio, Accenture

As you can see from the above table, IIIT Allahabad has much better placement statistics and even records 100% placements every year. Ultimately, it can be said that IIIT Allahabad has an amazing IT environment and should be given preference if you are into IT else, BIT Mesra can be considered.

IIIT Allahabad (2018)

A classic flaw in choosing colleges is that students don't take any of the factors into consideration that includes, including future goals, priorities, and interests.

IIIT Allahabad is specialized to offer only two branches, i.e. Information Technology and Electronic and Communications engineering.

On the other hand BIT, Mesra offers several other courses, only for Undergraduate Programmes.

Now you have to pick what you want and what your goals are before you choose one of them? Is it a career or a college? You should determine which college to attend after contemplating all this.

I know a few people from both the colleges, so I can give you an idea about the institutes.

Comparison: (Winning Institution - IIIT Allahabad)

In general, IIIT Allahabad trumps BIT Mesra due to the high facilities and academic standards it provides. The IIIT Allahabad Alumni set high expectations in the industry and if that's what you want, the college has a comprehensive and consistent record of placement. The placement average of the institute is 100%.
The IT environment at IIIT Allahabad is also great. You will be amazed by the coding culture at the campus.

Also, make sure that you look at Allahabad and Mesra as towns. In terms of fun and scenic appeal, Allahabad doesn't have anything to provide its students.

In terms of placements, coding culture, IIIT Allahabad will be better in general.
