I am yet to understand the blind passion people possess for the CSE branch including those who have no interest in the field whatsoever. Even if you have a passion for CSE, the NIT Rourkela is certainly not the right place to bring out your abilities in this field. The placements, undoubtedly, are excellent at par with some new IITs. bit NIT Rourkela lacks in other major aspects such as

• Highly underqualified professors. In fact, the majority of the CSE classes are conducted by teaching assistants of professors who have degrees from average engineering colleges. 
• Professors have no fixed marking criteria and students face serious issues when marks are deducted unnecessarily.
• The curriculum is obsolete and does not meet industry standards. Students who are serious about academics have to take up MOOCs to learn additional things.

Irrespective of the branch you go for between CSE and ECE, you will witness similar job opportunities and success rates. Most students get placed in huge firms like Amazon, Microsoft, and Samsung. So, choosing the right branch in your case depends on your personal preference and interests. 

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 record of placement statistics at NIT Silchar and IITDM Kancheepuram has been relatively the same in recent years. The core recruiters who are working on AR and VR grab students from the CSE department, especially those who are skilled in coding. IITDM Kacheepuram has an added advantage for the students as they offer design courses other than core courses, which is beneficial during the interview session. IITDM is also leading in offering efficient classes, experienced faculties, good infrastructure, and hostel facilities to the students.

 The final decision should be made based only on your interests.

Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU are highly comparable to each other in terms of academic and professional excellence. However, both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses and my answer will guide you to make the most appropriate choice 

Course structure: The course structure of both EE at IIT BHU and ECE at IIT Guwahati is similar and has very few differences. 

Infrastructure: IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure because of its later establishment. IIT Guwahati is known for its extremely beautiful campus with rich natural beauty.

Alumni: Being older, IIT BHU has a longstanding legacy of excellence. This has a positive effect on the placements.

Culture: IIT BHU has a rich and dynamic work culture that is generally not found in engineering colleges.

Faculty and peer pool: Both IIT BHU and IIT Guwahati have excellent faculty and peer pool being reputed institutions.

Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations and there is no fixed right or better choice.

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. 

 If you're interested in coding and considering a career in electronics, ECE at IIIT Allahabad is definitely worth considering and a better option than Civil at IIT Guwahati. With an impressive track record of placements, the ECE branch at IIITA has over 95% of its students placed each year, and more than 200 companies visited for the placement session from 2021-2022. This includes top MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and even Apple. 

The average package offered was 30.68 LPA, with the highest package reaching 1.21 CPA domestically and 1.25 CPA internationally. Additionally, around 100 students received internships with an average stipend of Rs.60000 per month. With roles like SDE on offer, IIIT Allahabad is a great choice for those looking to kickstart their careers in electronics.

Irrespective of the IIT tag you go for, Civil Engineering always has limited placements. Civil Engineering has become an outdated branch with little or no scope left. Although there are people who go for various options after pursuing civil engineering, which may include UPSC Examinations. What I mean is that Civil Engineering is not the right choice if your goal is placements. In that case consider ECE from ISM Dhanbad. Owing to the increased research in Machine Learning, the ECE branch is expected to grow ten folds in the coming future. 

Additionally, ECE in IIT (ISM) has a pretty good coding and robotics culture, so you have both options, going for core jobs or CS jobs.

Ultimately, it’s all about personal inclinations. All I suggest is that never go for a mediocre rank just because a certain IIT is better than the other. The choice of your branch is equally important as the choice of your institute. Moreover, the Civil engineering scenario is similar in every IITs.
