I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes

Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.
Truth be told, n=both CSB and ECE at IIT Delgi will be excellent academic decisions because IIIT Delhi is well-known for imparting quality education. You should consider your own inlciation whole choosing between CSB and ECE rather than the newness of the branch and its credibility because, at the end of the day, your interests matter more than anything. You won't be able to excel at even an old and well-established branch if you have no interest in it while may excel in a new branch if you are genuinely interested in it. So, the opportunities you will be offered depend on your passions.
You can go through the course descriptions mentioned on the institute's website. CSB might be a relatively new branch but IIIT Delhi has been offering biology courses. You can check the profiles of the faculty.
Remember, a new branch may impose certain disadvantages but so will a branch that does not intrigue you genuinely. There won't be any major difference in terms of higher studies and placements.
So, choose wisely!
The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani.
ProsIf you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.
The Alumni network is the most important factor of placement statistics and MNNIT Allahabad has one of the best alumni networks.
Delhi provides you with nightlife whereas Allahabad does not. Allahabad is not a metropolitan city like Delhi. If you want these two things, MNNIT is not for you. But it will definitely provide you with great learning opportunities. You can enjoy yourself a lot with your friends, more than you expect. Hence, it does not become less enjoyable just because it lacks nightlife and the tag of a metropolitan city.

Transportation matters a lot when it comes to placement drive. HR of reputed MNCs don’t have enough time to travel via road or train for recruitment purposes. Despite not having an airport before, MNNIT Allahabad has managed to keep its placement statistics outstanding.
For CSE the most popular choices among students are as follows.
So, CSE from MNNIT is one of the best. You can definitely consider it as a valid option.
Between IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Delhi, the former is the better option for CS. It offers better facilities are infrastructure, as the institute is fully funded by MHRD. On the other hand, IIIT Delhi isn’t funded by MHRD. It is also an Indraprastha institute and not an Indian institute.
IIIT A has a large alumni base working in top-level product development companies, this helps a lot with placements. As per the placement highlights for 2021, IIIT Allahabad CSE average package is INR 21.85 LPA.

On average, a student at IIIT Delhi needs around 59 hours per week to study and get decent marks. On campus, they are expected to devote 24 hours per week to their academics which is roughly 5 hours a day.

Hostel 1 and 2 are for first-year students only.
Hostel 4 and 5 is for postgraduates
For girls, there are 2 old hostels and one mega hostel
Hostel 6 and 7 have very small rooms but are pretty famous for their food.
Old hostels don’t have Wi-Fi connections but only LAN ports.
The rooms at Mega hostel are bigger and newer. The food is also better here.
The timings rule is more strict at old hostels than at Mega hostels.
IIT Delhi
IIT Delhi has an air-conditioned common mess for both boys and girls.
During vacations, a special mess is run for both boys and girls
It is compulsory for all hostel residents to avail the mess facilities.
Apart from the common mess, there are two cafeterias, one located in the academic building and the other in the common mess building which caters to the needs of the students and faculty.
One can roam freely across the campus at any time of the day.
The hostel has a Common room for people to spend their leisure time. It is decked with a TV, newspapers, and magazines.
Sports and other recreational facilities are available on the upper floors of the dining building.
I hope the above points gave you a clear understanding of the hostel facilities of the two institutes.
CSD and IT have practically the same core subjects. You’ll have a similar curriculum in either of the options. Unless you have a strong interest in the design aspect of CSD, the choice is mainly between the two colleges.
IIITD is very research-oriented. It has state-of-the-art research labs and facilities. You’ll be exposed to dedicated and active research groups over there. Academics are taken quite seriously. You’ll study your subjects in depth for the next 4-5 years.
At DTU on the other hand, academics are very laid back. You’ll get lots of time for extracurriculars. You can polish your skills in the area of your interest.
If you are sure to build a future in Computer Science, join IIIT Delhi. But if you wish to explore yourself, and polish your skills in some other field, join DTU.
