It is advised to go with ECE at IIT Guwahati. Its placements scenario is at par with DSCE or in some cases even better. Also, the institute has an extremely good campus and facilities. You will be given the tag of being an alumnus of one of the IITs of India.Except for few colleges like RVCE, IIITB, all other Colleges in Bangalore are considered to be not that good. Still, you can consider taking admission in Dayanand Sagar for Computer Science and Engineering if you have an inclination towards the metro city of Bangalore and want to stay in the urban city due to the many big firms and startups that are situated in the city, you can choose this college.
Otherwise, IIIT Guwahati should be your decision without any doubt. At last, the choice is yours that you should make only after considering all the aspects related to both the colleges.
Among the above institutes, ABV-IIIT Gwalior is definitely the best choice for pursuing Computer Science.

Key highlights:
So, IIITM Gwalior is the definite choice among the three IIITs mentioned, considering the overall facilities, placement, and infrastructure.
Yes, IT Park is being developed right next to the IIIT Guwahati campus, and it is mostly under construction. This IT Park can be a game-changer for the placements and opportunities of students in IIIT Guwahati at the time it is properly established.
The points below state the present condition of the IT Park and some of its major advancements.
The future IT Park will surely play a role in the betterment of the institute of IIIT Guwahati, as seen in the case of IIIT Hyderabad.
According to some of my friends studying at IIIT Guwahati, the chance of getting into IIIT Guwahati with a rank around 38000 is approximately 70%.
Here are some of the points you should need to know:
It is important to know that All IIITDMs (Jabalpur, Kanchipuram, and Kurnool) are fully funded by MHRD and are institutes of national importance. Thus, you can decide according to your choice and convenience.
You can opt for NIT Andhra Pradesh. Now, you may be hesitant about choosing it because it is 2 years younger than IIIT Guwahati. But NIT Andhra Pradesh has both a very good location and faculty. The location of your institute matters since there are few companies that clearly do not visit the North East for placements. Even though IIIT Guwahati does not qualify to be at a very remote location, you will definitely have better options at NIT Andhra Pradesh.
Here are some details about the institutes.

The 2 years gap does not necessarily make noticeable differences, but the location does. For example, NIT Goa is only 7 years old but still has notable placement stats only because of its favorable location. So, if you want to enroll in IIIT, then either IIIT, Trichy, or Sri City can be considered better than IIIT Guwahati. IIIT Guwahati also had poor placements for CSE in recent years.
The final decision is yours, but NIT Andhra is definitely a better choice.
When you compare both these colleges for their faculty, in my view, they both have top notch faculty.
For example, IIIT Bhagalpur is also mentored by IIT Guwahati so most students are aware that the faculty and academic environment is good here. As the case with IIIT Lucknow is also similar – where it is being mentored by IIIT Allahabad which is known for its coding culture and is one of the top IIITs across the country, you will not have a reason to doubt the institute.
So, both colleges are equally good as they are being mentored by some of the best institutes in the country and have good faculty.

However, CSE and ECE at IIIT Guwahati are good, as far as course content and faculty involvement are concerned compared to the other new NITs, IITs, and IIITs. This is about the curriculum and not about the tag.
For those who join, it's not bad. However, it's not the best on Earth. For the best options go for MIT, Stanford, Caltech, Berkeley, CMU, IIT Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, IIITH, etc.
This comparison is only possible if you have experienced both the campus and its programs. So, Having friends studying in both the institutes, I might be able to help you with the question. As I am aware of some of their intricate details about these institutes.

According to my friends studying at IIIT Guwahati, CSE is a better choice than pursuing ICE at NIT Jalandhar. Though there are various reasons why ICE at NIT Jalandhar is also a very good program. As NIT is an older institute, they have more alumni and industry connections and a decent placement record compared to that of IIIT Guwahati.
