Whether a particular degree is worth the money you spend depends on a number of factors like your financial background and your future prospects. One of my relatives completed his BTech in CSE in 2012 and got a job that helped him pay back the loan within 2 years. However, this may not be the case for everyone. That being said, consider the following scenarios
Nevertheless, if you are adamant about joining anyways, go for CS or IT which will provide better placement opportunities than other branches.
It's highly illogical to compare a Tier-1 engineering college like BITS to a Tier-2 university like Manipal Institute of Technology.
One cannot compare universities like Manipal, VIT, SRM, Jaypee, Amity, etc. to IIT, NIT, and BITS. These colleges have no brand value of their own and most of the people coming here are those who failed to qualify for competitive exams like JEE/BITSAT/AIEEE/etc. Moreover, the exposure and opportunities offered at BITS are unmatched. It's probably the only private engineering college that enjoys excellent global recognition too.
Irrespective of the branch you go for, the BITS Pilani degree has similar value everywhere. The BITS alumni network is great with some of them being co-founders of Redbus, Hotmail, etc.
Here is a brief comparison of these institutes

The only factor you need to consider while joining BITS is the high fees and academic pressure. So choose wisely!
Avoid choosing NIT Jalandhar if your goal is to study ECE for the sake of studying ECE sincerely and devotedly.
ECE at NIT Jalandhar emphasizes placement, specifically in an IT company. As an ECE student, you'll be expected to perform exceptionally well in coding and other CSE-related courses. Additionally, the compensation packages provided by core businesses fall well short of what an ECE student would expect, further decreasing the appeal of ECE core.
It is recommended that you choose another institute if you're passionate about electronics and want to pursue a successful career in the field rather than NITJ.
You should choose NIT Jamshedpur for Mechanical Engineering. It has an impeccable Mechanical faculty. The professors have years of experience in the field. The placements are more competitive at NITs. NIT Jamshedpur placement highlights for 2021 show around 96% of Mechanical students got placed with an average CTC of INR 7.3 LPA. Vedanta Ltd, Tata Steel, Royal Enfield, etc. are some of the major recruiters for the branch.
Here is a rough estimate of the total expenditure for a BTech course at MIT Karnataka.
The above estimate does take into account the money you spend partying or going on trips. Also, it's important to note that the above estimate is purely based on my speculations and may vary from person to person.
To make an informed decision, it's crucial to understand that changing your choice based on the college you get into won't have much impact. You should acknowledge that Electronics and Instrumentation in BITS Pilani Goa Campus and Electrical and Electronics in NIT Surathkal are two distinct engineering streams with different colleges, and both colleges are excellent in their own right.
Your selection of the branch should entirely depend on your interest. If you are intrigued by electrical or electronic circuits or have been fascinated by electricity since childhood, EEE is the perfect fit for you. Conversely, if you have an interest in instruments or daily life gadgets that make our lives more comfortable, you should opt for E&I.
Keep in mind that EEE focuses on circuit design and development, while E&I focuses on circuit implementation in industries or the real world. EEE is a core branch that concentrates on its domain, but E&I combines all other core branches such as Mechanical, Electronics, Electrical, and even Computer Science.
Both EEE and E&I offer excellent job prospects in the market. E&I graduates can work in core fields or software industries. There is a plethora of industries related to electrical and electronics, so EEE also offers ample job opportunities. Therefore, both branches are exceptional in their way. Choose the one that piques your interest and don't sacrifice your area of interest due to college selection.
Here are the details on the academic fees charged from B.Tech students at Thapar University. You may visit their official website to find details on their hostel charges.

This fee includes Rs. 68,000 in the form of development fee and other charges. Besides that, the university charges Rs. 23,000 as a one-time fee during admissions.
Thapar University offers merit-based scholarships to its students, which can be availed during their first year, and may continue in the subsequent years of their degrees.
One of my friends was a student of IET DAVV, and he has studied Computer Science at this institute.
He once told me that lots of companies came to select candidates from CS and IT stream. If you are in the average category but has good concepts in your subjects (IT and CS), or has sufficient programming skills, then you can easily get the placement in a reputed company. However, if you are not performing well in the other companies, then there is a chance to get placed in the mass recruiter organizations, which is also not a bad option to start a career.
The average CTC for all the branches is approximately 4.25, but here average CTC is considered. This is because the range is hardly started from 3.5 LPA to 12 LPA or 13 LPA in some cases. It is also seen that lot of the companies also provide around 5-6 LPA.
In the following, a brief overview of placement facts of this institute has been given considering the subjects such as CSE, IT, EI, and ET:

Thus, it can be concluded that placement is the plus point in this institute. Nearly 100% placement id is offered by this institute's placement cell to the top MNCs like TCS, Accenture. Infosys, HCL, Capgemani etc.
There are a bunch of things that you should do before you graduate from NIT Calicut which might sound simple and silly but worth looking back down the memory lane.
Tick all the things to do in your bucket list before graduating from Calicut. You never know what you will regret not doing when you still are a student.
I think choosing IIT (BHU), Varanasi is a better option here considering the various perks it will offer
IIT BHU is one of the oldest institutes and is daily a preferable choice to IIT Hyderabad, a new IIT.
