Between Calcutta University and Presidency University for a PG, you should opt for Presidency University. Having studied in Calcutta University, I suggest you go for Presidency instead.
Therefore, it's better to opt for Presidency University. Due to its better faculty, facilities and overall experience.
Both the PTU and GNDU are different in their terms and have their advantages and disadvantages.

At last, everything depends on the college you want to opt for. If you are coming to Punjab from any of the places they don’t. The private colleges are not that good in the state. Therefore, don’t fall for the private colleges of Punjab.
For any admission, apply for the university campus and not for the private colleges. Instead, take admission in your city or the native place.
Sharda University is much higher than Galgotias University in every particular aspect ranging from educational criteria to its infrastructure and facilities. The ratings of Sharda university are various points higher even on different ratings and as per the knowledge and experience of its students. You will get a global learning environment here in a very authentic sense.
Sharda University has always focused more on modern learning techniques and a practical based approach for whichever course students are concerned about. However, before considering any points at your hand, hold vivid research about the institute you are about to go for.

My brother was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and for his 1st year, the highest CGPA was 9.67, while many scored 9. So, the chances of branch upgradation are quite slim.
NSUT Delhi is known for its COE (Computer Engineering) course.
The COE course is different from CSE. In COE, you will study hardware, electronics & signals, and codes & algorithms. Unlike CSE, software is not the main focus of study in COE.
Now as far as a comparison between them is considered, IIITD has a much better teaching environment than NSUT Delhi. Though it also has an experienced faculty, you will mainly be taught by Ph.D. students during the first two years.
Unlike before, however, the NSUT Delhi curriculum has been updated. There is now a CBCS (Choice Based Credit System) and you won’t have to compulsorily study unnecessary subjects. Both institutes have a pretty good placement record. Although the COE branch concerns itself more with hardware, students get placed majorly in software profiles.
All I can say is that NSUT Delhi has now an updated curriculum and a university status. On the other hand, IIITD is a comparatively new player in this field that is also performing quite well. Thus, both institutions are a good choice to pursue your computer studies.
As a student of IIIT Naya Raipur, I will tell you about the facilities provided at my college-
I don’t know much about NIT Raipur, so I can’t compare the two. However, I would suggest you reach out to some seniors from NIT Raipur as well. This will help you establish a clear comparison between the two colleges.
As far as IIIT Naya Raipur is concerned, it is a good institution with modern infrastructure and all the facilities.
FMS Delhi is better for an MBA. The institute is ahead of IIM Kozhikode in terms of fees, placement, ROI, cutoff, and other aspects.
FMS Delhi fees are only INR 1.92 lakhs, while the average CTC for the institute is INR 32.4 LPA. So, the return on investment is pretty good. Around 100+ companies participate in the placement drive each year.

Internships and job offers are given from the fifth semesters for graduating students in Manipal. Each year over 250 companies visit Manipal to recruit interns and offer placements.
MNNIT Allahabad offers similar opportunities for IT and CSE branches. Other than a few subjects, the curriculum, faculty, and career opportunities are more or less the same for NIT Allahabad.
Though Surathkal is promising a better university life with beaches and all.
NIT Allahabad houses one of the country's biggest and brightest CSE departments. Here you're getting a good, competitive, and coding-oriented environment. Seniors are very supportive and the course is good. But the location is quite remote so if you belong to a metro city, you will be disappointed with the city life.
In terms of placements, both institutes are almost on the same level.

Another important aspect you can factor in while choosing is the distance of the institute from your home and choose the nearlest.
