It's highly illogical to compare an institute of national importance namely MNIT Jaipur to an average engineering college in the same city, LNMIIT Jaipur. Here are some key differences between the institutes
It’s safe to conclude that MNIT Jaipur is incomparable to LNMIIT in any way and ranks better than LNMIIT.
Both LNMIIT and Thapar University are highly regarded institutes in the country. However, while choosing one over the other you would like to consider the following points.
Cutoff: LNMIIT cutoff is generally higher than Thapar University cutoff therefore it has a better crowd than Thapar University.
Fees: LNMIIT first year fees are ?3.75 Lakhs while that of Thapar University is ?4.61 Lakhs.
Location: Thapar University is situated in a better location right in the main town of Patiala whereas LNMIIT is located on the outskirts of Jaipur.
Legacy: Thapar is one of the oldest and most reputed institutes almost 60 years old while LNMIIT is comparatively new.
Placements: The placements scenario can be better understood through the table below

LMNIT |
Thapar University |
Highest CTC |
INR 53.87 LPA |
INR 40 LPA |
Average CTC |
INR 14.2 LPA |
INR 10.97 LPA |
From the above table, it can be inferred that LNMIIT has a better placement scenario than Thapar University.
Overall, I will advise you to go for LNMIIT if you are getting CSE but for other branches, Thapar University is good.
It is known to everyone that there is a prevalent competition between LNMIIT and Thapar University. But as some of my friends studied at Thapar University, I can say that it stands out for many reasons.
Categories | Thapar University |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
Highest CTC | 24-26 LPA |
Average CTC | 14-16 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Microsoft, IBM, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
Thus, we can conclude that Thapar University is not only popular for its infrastructure and other related facilities but at the same time, the university is well-known for the decent placement offers that marks an edge for every student.
IIIT Delhi is clearly the best choice out of the three options especially if we are talking about CSE. Your preference order should be the following.
IIIT Delhi (Indraprastha) > Thapar University > LNMIIT Jaipur
Cutoff: (IIIT D > Thapar University)
The quality of the students also has an effect on how the college performs and also in its rankings. The cutoff for CSE at IIIT Delhi is around 200-225+. Thapar University admits students with JEE Mains marks more than 170 for students’ outside Punjab and 150 marks for students from Punjab. The cutoff indicates IIIT D offers a better peer group.
Placements:
Thpar has a great coding culture. However, based on student crowd, placements, etc. the best option among the given choices is IIITD.
LNMIIT ranked 194 for BTech by NIRF 2020. Students are offered scholarships of INR 35,000 per semester based on their merit i.e. the JEE Advanced rank. The top 20 rankers (upto 5000 rank) will be awarded with the scholarship.
JECRC Jaipur is ranked 23rd All over India in the Best University Survey. Students are provided with internship opportunities (100%). 81% of which was paid internship, stipend from INR 8000 to 24000 per month.
NIT Manipur ranks 158th for BTech by NIRF 2020. It is recognized by UGC and AICTE. It has a 300+ acres campus area. It has a faculty strength of 70 members most of them being highly qualified and PhD holders.

All the above mentioned colleges are equally good; it ultimately depends on the student’s preferences of location, affordability, environment and subject. LNMIIT has a better placement record than JECRC and NIT Manipur
I feel LMNIIT CSE is a much better choice than NIT Agartala CSE provided that you have the financial means to get admission there. Here is why I feel it's better than NIT Agartala
So, is better to look beyond the NIT tag and choose LMNIIT because the tag does not matter much more than academics and placements.
If you are getting CSE at LNMIIT, go for it. Do not choose a branch just for the sake of the NIT tag. After completing the degree you may only have placement options in MNCs like TCS, Infosys, etc. I know many people from unknown branches of IIIT working in service companies. So, you get the idea.
The table below shows a brief overview of the two institutes.

If you have the option, you can join NIT Raipur CSE too. The placement will be slightly better as compared to LNMIIT.

Given the above stated facts, LNMIIT is better for CS. However, the final decision rests upon you.
Among the above two institutes, LNMIIT Jaipur is a better choice, considering several factors like quality of education, placements, etc. I have a few friends from LNMIIT Jaipur, so I think I can give you a fair idea about the academics at LNMIIT.
Following is a table of comparison between the two institutes.

LNMIIT Jaipur |
IIIT Vadodara |

In both institutes, CSE is the first preferable stream. Other streams are not that good in offering opportunities in internships and placements to students.
Considering the above points, it is clear that LNMIIT Jaipur is definitely the better choice among the two institutes.
My brother is from LNMIIT so I can tell you why LNMIIT is a better choice.
Ranking and Accreditation:
LNMIIT holds 2nd rank among the best IT colleges in Jaipur and 3rd best private college in Rajasthan. LNMIIT is approved by AICTE and has also been accredited by NAAC with a grade 'A'.
Alumni Network:
IIIT Kota is a recent IIIT and yet to establish a strong alumni database. Whereas, LNMIIT has a very strong Alumni base, including some notable personalities like Hemant Purohit (Assistant Professor at Information Sciences and Technology at George Mason University, Washington DC), Sanjay Goyal (Senior Engineer at InterDigital Labs, Tandon School of Engineering at Brooklyn, USA), Radhika Loomba (Research Scientist at Intel Labs Europe) and so on.
