No, IIT Goa is not better than IIT Mandi. Both of these institutes are considered good to pursue engineering (UG & PG). But IIT Mandi has an edge over IIT Goa in terms of ranking, placement, campus infrastructure, etc. Although IIT Goa is a newly established IIT as compared to IIT Mandi, it is progressing with time.

Newly established IITs like IIT Goa are getting less assistance from the government as compared to older IITs like IIT Mandi. That’s why the facilities available in newly established IITs are not the same as compared to the old ones. 

Thus, I would recommend you opt for IIT Mandi as it is currently a better option than IIT Goa.
