There are 2 factors involved here. First is the branch and the second is the institute. Speaking course wise ECE and EEE are somewhat similar and offer good career opportunities. You can choose either according to your interest.
NIT Delhi is 2 years younger than BITS Hyderabad campus and 6 years younger than BITS Goa campus. The older the institute offers better opportunities and better known.
So BITS has an edge over NIT Delhi in providing the best opportunities when the institute factor is taken. BITS also has much more recruiters than NIT Delhi. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad is around 5 LPA.
IIIT Delhi is better than NIT Delhi. It has better infrastructure. IIIT Delhi placements have been excellent over the last few years. During 2022 placement drive, the highest international CTC offered was INR 1.84 CPA. The domestic highest was INR 47 LPA.
Goldman Sachs, PwC, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, Samsung, etc. were among the major recruiters.
Among the two, Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh would be a better choice. PEC being an old and highly recognized institute whereas NIT Delhi is comparatively a newer establishment.

The comparison between Electronics and Communication at NIT Delhi and Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh is entirely dependent on what the candidate wants, both being completely different streams. But PEC still stands a step ahead, being a more reputed institution.
It's nearly impossible to get any branch in any of the colleges mentioned above. The colleges mentioned above are all NITs in particular NIT Goa, NIT Jaipur, and NIT Delhi.
None of the NITs open admission for the rank of around 180k so it would be better if you should prepare well and appear for the exam in the next year or take admission in any private college. There's no chance that any NIT would offer admission for 180k rank.
