Both programs are equally good in their respective fields and so are the institutions offering the programs. It’s important to consider what you expect from the program and what you plan to achieve after graduation to make the right choice.
My sister was in a similar dilemma as yours and eventually, she opted for MCA from IIT Delhi.This program has many courses similar to CS but the only problem is, the pedagogy adopted has a more theoretical approach than practical. Moreover, at some point, you will start questioning the parity of the faculty and will have to resort to self-study.
But here is the bright side, most companies coming for CS placements consider MCA students too, and offer decent roles.
Although I am not well aware of the situation in Roorkee, I can guarantee a true coding lover will prefer CS to MCA any day.

The decision of choosing one between NITK CSE and IIIT Hyderabad CSE depends on what kind of college life you are looking for. To be frank, if you want a dynamic campus life with an equally good but light curriculum, NIT Surathkal is better than IIIT Hyderabad because the matter has a very rigid campus life that focuses entirely on academics. NIT Surathkal will give you a huge baggage of memories, a good job, and some good connections. But IIIT Hyderabad will help you become a person of responsibility whose only focus is building a career.
NIT Surathkal brings you together with people from all corners of the country which makes the experience better. IIIT Hyderabad on the other hand has only two branches - CSE and ECE. So the former may not make you a very talented CS engineer but will surely develop your personality as a whole.
So the best way to decide is to analyze your inclination, and then make an informed decision.

So, on a rough estimate, a score of around 230 might get you into CSE as an OBC student. However, you wouldn’t limit your capabilities to your branch but give your best.

During our KIIT counseling, we were to be allotted our branches based on our ranks in the KIITEE. CSE seats were filled quickly. This is because the first preference of students is CSE, then EE, and then come the other branches like Mechanical, Civil, and others. The best rank holders in KIITEE choose the CSE branch.
