My brother was in a similar dilemma when he got CS in Manipal as well as IIIT Delhi. After consulting a few friends at Manipal, he decided to go for IIIT Delhi. He stated the following reasons for choosing IIIT Delhi over MIT Manipal.
If you want laid-back academics with a vibrant campus life, your choice should be Manipal whereas if you want a rigorous curriculum, then go for IIIT Delhi. It’s just a question of what your priorities are.
IT from MSIT (Maharaja Surajmal) is better. It has a better industry presence, especially in NCR. Many reputed companies take part in MSIT placements. Google, MU Sigma, ZS Associates, Jaro Education, Wingify, Infosys, etc. are among the major recruiters. Students receive an average package of around INR 4-5 LPA. The highest CTC goes up to INR 55 LPA.
ISM Dhanbad got the IIT tag a few years back.
It offers pretty good placements and research facilities. The campus is well-maintained and of decent size. It is being further improved and even has its own mall now. Other than that, the college has a fully centralized air-conditioned technical library- the largest in Asia.
IIT Dhanbad is at par with the old IITs. It is the best college in India for Earth Science branches (Mining, Mining Machinery, Applied Geology, Mineral, etc). Other branches have also developed in recent years, especially since ISM has received the IIT tag.
This institute has one of the largest alumni networks in the public sector. It has an MHRD-funded faculty development centre, which is one of its kind in the entire country. It is constructing a Central Research facility within its campus, in collaboration with Australian universities, as a result of an MoU signed by PM Modi during his visit to Australia a few years back. Many centrally funded projects are also taking place within the campus.
So IIT Dhanbad is far ahead of new IITs and at par with the old ones.
According to most of the students studying there, both the colleges have average reviews. Though if compared IIITM Gwalior is considered better than IIIT Lucknow. As IIITM Gwalior was established at the same time when IIT Hyderabad and Bangalore were established, they have passed out many batches of students, but still have average placements below 10 LPA.

If we talk about IIT Hyderabad then it has also passed out many batches, but the average packages here are of more than 20 lakhs. IIITB has passed out several Btech + Mtech batches offering 17 to 18 LPA as average salary package.
IIT lucknow unlike the others mentioned is not that good or worth it, as it is a newer establishment, placements by significant companies are less. Try for old NITs, as they will get you better and higher salary packages.
Both of them are very good colleges and are recognized and reputed colleges of our country, but there are certain aspects which make them different from each other and in this scenario, CSE at SGSITS will be much better than at IET DAVV. Here are the reasons.
Overall, it is safe to say that SGSIT is a better alternative.
This is a pretty difficult question as both the colleges are great in their own ways. National Institute of Technology (Patna) is ranked 134th in India among the leading technical institutes of India by NIRF. Whereas, IIEST Shibpur is ranked 19th among engineering colleges by NIRF. Let's compare some of the parameters which may help you choose which institute will be better for you.
Admission-
Both the institute offer UG, PG, and Ph.D. programs across various streams.
The entrance exam that is accepted for B. Tech courses is JEE Mains.
For M. Tech candidates the entrance exam accepted is GATE in both the colleges.
CAT scores are accepted for MBA programs.
Placement:
IIEST Shibpur witnessed a placement record of 311 students for the academic year of 2018-2019. The highest recruiting batch was Information Technology. 39.2 LPA was the highest salary offered in the 2019 placement drive.
Whereas, NIT Patna placed 279 students from the streams of B. Tech, M. Tech, B. Arch. The highest salary offered was INR 39.12 LPA and the average salary was record around INR 7.71 LPA in the 2019 placement.
Both IIEST Shibpur and NIT Patna are equally good. So choose an institute among the two according to your convenience.
If you think statistically, then PEC Chandigarh is better than NIT Kurukshetra. Considering this, the following reasons are listed:

Besides, the internship records of this institute can be compared with old IITs. Students of PEC get approximately 169 internship opportunities, of which 24 were pre-placement offers. Many students also get the opportunity to join as a research intern in a renowned foreign university, a tenure of 6 months.
So, if you to take admission in an institute considering your future with an average package of 10 LPA, then it must be noted that the student strength and competition in PEC are less than NIT Kurukshetra.
Some of the facts are listed below to help you understand which one is better in taking admission.

If you have not so many ideas about the stream and do not aware of the institutional tag; then it is better to choose E&TC in DAVV. Besides, if you are considering these two institutes, then both are quite similar in terms of academics. However, E&TC also has many other fields in the future, so that the job opportunity might be expanded. Hence, it will be best to go for E&TC over EI.
Without second thoughts, IIEST is better than all the colleges you mentioned. The institutes that are better than IIEST are the top 7 IITs, BITS Pilani, IISc.
The leading factor of IIEST that sets it apart from other colleges is its extensive research strategies. Some have been highlighted below:
Developed India's First Smart Grid
Developed Solar Rickshaw for Howrah Municipal Corporation
CEGESS centre at IIEST is among the Best in India in areas of clean energy and sensors systems.
IIEST has collaborations with University of Queensland, University of Hiroshima, University of South Wales, Hokkaido University, Zurich University among others
Other amazing facts include:
Research Projects: Rs. 47 Crores
Consultancy Projects: Rs. 13 Crore
Publications : 2000
Citations : 5000
All this has been achieved by only 220 faculties in less than 3 years.
If IIEST is worthy of comparison to any of the colleges you have mentioned then it is NIT Jalandhar. The academic excellence is very similar. But other colleges don’t even stand in the race to compare.
