IIEST Shibpur now enjoys the status of being an "Institute of National Importance" status with 160 years of Glorious Record of Producing "World Leaders in Engineering" and is nowhere near colleges like BIT Mesra and NIT Rourkela. The primary purpose behind the establishment of this institute was to combine IIT and IISc into a single body. It receives a high budget at par with most IITs and is a great choice for engineering aspirants.
The institute has successful alumni working in various fields across the globe. Some of them include Dr. Bimal K Bose USA World Leader in Power Electronics, Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan World's Greatest Structural Engineer Designer of the Tallest Tower in the USA, and Dr. Kajal Gupta Chief Technologist NASA USA. The institutes connect spreads across the globe and IIEST Shibpur has Chapters in the USA, London UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Europe, the Middle East, etc.
Even if IIEST is comparable to BIT Mesra and NIT Rourkela today, it will be way ahead of these institutes in the new future given its fast-paced development.
I was in a similar dilemma last year, and ended up choosing BITS Hyderabad. My friends who chose top EAMCET colleges regret their decision at present. BITS does not only offer good academics, it also gives a lot of opportunities and exposure to its students.
If you are passionate about CS, then opt for a dual degree program at BITS, or CS at other colleges. But if you do not have a specific branch in mind, opt for BITS. Later on, you might want to switch from engineering to some other sector, like finance.
The clubs and departments at BITS Hyderabad will give you ample exposure to understand your interests and goals. Moreover, top investment banks, and companies from various sectors visit the campus with good placement offers every year.
BITS Hyderabad has a far better placement record and brand name as compared to EAMCET colleges. It has a rich curriculum, unlike the EAMCET colleges, which give all the importance to theory, and coding is not taught properly. BITS Hyderabad has a good infrastructure with lush green campus.
Thus, if you do not have a specific branch preference, I would recommend BITS Hyderabad over EAMCET colleges any day.
I am a student of Medical College Kolkata, so I’ll try to justify joining this college for your MBBS-
NEIGRIHMS is a good college as well.But being an alumnus of KMC, I would encourage you to consider this college for your medical studies.
My friend got selected in all the 3 institutes; KGMU, IMS BHU, and AIIMS Rishikesh but chose KGMU as her first preference. She had no personal grudge against AIIMS Rishikesh but there were quite a few reasons why she did not choose IMS BHU
However, her decision of choosing one over the other was solely influenced by her personal inclinations. She did not find any major differences except the rural service bond which she was ready to sacrifice. She did not give much thought to AIIMS Rishikesh as it was a new institute at that time although it has grown exponentially over the years so you can give it preference too.
Ultimately, there is no major difference in each of these institutes academically and it is all based on your personal indications.
Firstly, you should know that IIIT UNA is a new college and although it has the IIIT tag, it hasn't been ranked by any esteemed Ranking platforms like NIRF. Its classes are also facilitated by NIT Hamirpur's faculty and the campus and faculty are nice.
As far as NSIT is concerned, it ranks #76 on the NIRF ranking portal for engineering and has a better location in Delhi than Hamirpur, because of the facilities and professional opportunities available.
Here are some more pointers to help you understand better -

JU is the best option among IIIT Delhi and IIEST for CSE. Although JU is way better than IIEST in CSE placements, it is slightly behind IIIT Delhi. IIIT-D has slightly better CSE placements. But JU offers an excellent ROI which makes it the most favourable option among these colleges. Moreover, its faculty is highly experienced and learned with many Ph.D. holders in just a single department. Here are some other reasons why you should consider joining JU
All these points sum up the fact that JU is an excellent choice for a CSE degree.
Chandigarh University (CU) is better than Sharda University for rotating students. The college life at Chandigarh University is blissful. Studying here has opened several avenues for my career. Due to its immense popularity among students and professionals alike, reputed companies and institutions collaborate with CU.
The faculty at CU are also friendly and supportive towards their students, encouraging them to do better in their career.
The infrastructure of CU is better than that of Sharda University. They are well equipped with a canteen, stationery shops, tuck shops in hostels, laundry, parlour, gym, etc. The campus has food joints like Samosa Express, Subway, Maggi Hotspot, Food Republic, etc.

For students willing to study agriculture, Chandigarh University is an appropriate institution, as it is located in Gharuan village. They are quite strict regarding submission of assignments and practicals. A 75% attendance is mandatory for students.
The placements offered by CU are outstanding. Students opting for government jobs will receive better opportunities. Students get a global exposure for their international tie-ups. They conduct workshops and seminars for hands-on-industry experience for the students educational development.
If you're trying to decide between IIIT Delhi and IIIT Allahabad, know that IIIT Delhi is better in many ways.
However, it's true that both IIIT Delhi and IIIT Allahabad aren't as good as IIIT Hyderabad at the moment. That being said, don't be surprised to see IIITD catching up soon, given its impressive progress over the years. In fact, IIITD has nearly doubled its campus size this year, and as a government university, the facilities and infrastructure are shocking - indoor heated swimming pool, stylish buildings and hostels, and awesome wifi speed.
Ultimately, whether to choose ECE or CSE depends entirely on your interests.
It's worth noting that IIIT Hyderabad's ECE program is superior to both IIIT Delhi's CSE program and IIIT Allahabad's CSE program.
To compare the two IIMs let’s consider the following factors:
Alumni network: The alumni network of an institute depends on the duration of the establishment. The older the institute, the stronger and larger will be its alumni network. This is why IIM Ahmedabad has an upper hand in this aspect.
Placements: The placement opportunities at IIM Ahmedabad are much better than IIM Indore. Most reputed firms don’t visit IIM Indore and even if they do visit its campus, the number of recruits is very less than that of IIM Ahmedabad.
Peer: The diversity of academic and professional backgrounds of MBA students is what makes the course an amazing experience. IIM Ahmedabad enjoys a better quality of peer groups than other IIMs because most qualified candidates prefer it over other IIMs.
Rankings: Rankings-wise, IIM Ahmedabad is always on the top of the ladder much above IIM Indore.
Better student experience: All major activities on the campus are mostly handled by student bodies. This helps in the overall development of an individual.
Based on all these factors we can clearly say that IIM Ahmedabad is better than IIM Indore.
Fortunately, I have close ties with alumni of both the institutes namely, IIM Sambalpur and IRMA Anand.
IIM Sambalpur is one of the youngest IIMs. In general, IMs offer programs like MBA or PGP in the following specializations; Marketing, Finance, Operation, and other domains. IRMA on the other hand is well-reputed for its strong program in PGDRM i.e. MBA in Rural Management.
Here are a few similarities between IIM Sambalpur and IRMA
Here are a few differences between IRMA and IIM Sambalpur
So, now coming to the main point, unless you are deeply interested in Rural Management, IIM Sambalpur seems to be the best option for you. The IIM tag will provide excellent opportunities and exposure and help you shape your career excellently. Despite being established in 1979, IRMA’s growth rate is not at the level of IIM Sambalpur that was established in 2015 and is already flourishing. So unless you are adamant about Rural Management, IIM Sambalpur is the best option.
