Manipal University is certainly better than BIT Mesra in terms of it all, Education, campus, and hostel life. Let's understand this better by considering these aspects individually.
Academics: The quality of education is great here and the professors are genuinely concerned about your progress. They guide you and motivate you to perform better.
Hostel life: Both students of Engineering and Architecture are allotted common hostels with excellent facilities such as -24x7 internet connection, hot water supply, water coolers, common rooms with T.V s, and indoor sports facilities like Table Tennis, Carrom, Chess, etc Additionally, there is the provision of immediate first aid in case of emergencies. Other miscellaneous facilities include room cleaning services and laundry services. So, the hostel life of Manipal Univerisity students is quite comfortable.
BIT Mesra undoubtedly has better ranking and job opportunities but college life is very monotonous and dull. So if you are looking for a fun-filled college life experience choose Manipal University over BIT Mesra.

Overall all institutes are good for and the admission process of all institutes is also not that tough. But if we particularly talk about placements then NMIMS and SIBM are better than SCMHRD and NMIMS even has a record of 100% placement last year. With this, all institutes have an engaging and encouraging environment.
The academics and the opportunities offered at the top IIMs are similar. IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta offer similar academics, facilities, and peer groups. Irrespective of which IIM you are choosing, you will get similar placement and internship opportunities. The rankings keep changing and people have this perceived notion that IIM Ahmedabad is the no 1 b-school in the country, due to its long-standing legacy.
M.Tech in Electrical Engineering programs offered by IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar are not similar, so the choice must be based on what you are looking for in the program. The EE department of IIT BHU offers M.Tech programs in Electrical Machines and Drives, Power Systems, Control Systems, Power Electronics, and Interdisciplinary Systems Engineering. Whereas Electrical science department of IIT Bhubaneswar offers an M.Tech program in Power system engineering, and Electronics & Communication Engineering.
IIT BHU has one of the largest and well-connected alumni foundation in India. The placement scenario of EE is very good at IIT BHU. According to 2019 placement statistics, a total of 52 companies visited the campus for recruitment. 88 students got placed from the Electrical Engineering department with an average package of 8.19 LPA. On the other hand, about 68% of the M.Tech batch have been placed successfully in the year 2019 from IIT Bhubaneswar. A total of 89 companies visited the campus. The highest number of jobs has been received from core industries. The average placement package offered at this IIT was 11.44 LPA.
Apart from placements both colleges provide a large platform for research and development. There are 7 core laboratories such as Control system, Electrical machines & drives, High voltage, Network, Power Electronics, Power system, and System simulation in IIT BHU. Whereas there are 4 core laboratories such as Electrical Machines and Power Electronics, Power energy system, and Measurement & Electronic instrumentation present in IIT Bhubaneswar for research and practicals.
NIT Durgapur and IIEST Shibpur both are excellent universities for pursuing Bachelor's and Master's in Engineering. Both institutes are located in different parts of West Bengal in famous areas. NIT Durgapur has been ranked and 46th in Engineering Category by the NIRF Rankings in India. It does carry a reputation value to the degree by being a premier institute of Engineering. IIEST is a lesser-known institute but well advanced in their research faculty and content.

Admission:
Admission at NIT would be much more competitive than IIEST. It requires a higher JEE mains rank. The choice of the subject involves even more competitiveness as it is done at the end of the first year based on CGPA. Most students who get selected at NIT do not wish to go for metallurgy, however, if you are interested, then it is one of the best institutes. IIEST is relatively easy when it comes to admissions and choice of subjects.
Placements:
The B.Tech. program at IIEST may not hold much value, but it is supplemented by excellent research professors who encourage students to take part in national missions and research projects. The competitiveness at NIT won’t provide that opportunity to every student.
There is no better course as the choice of a course depends a lot on one’s preferences and future prospects. You need enough passion to like a course because every course has its good and bad parts.
BTech in Mechanical Engineering should be considered only if you are interested in it genuinely because it’s quite challenging. BTech in Safety and Engineering is mistakenly considered to be the easiest BTech program but the reality is far from this. This course covers topics from Mechanical, Civil, and even Chemical. As a result, this branch ends up being the Jack of all trades but the Master of none. The students of this branch are capable of handling HSE in almost any type of industry.
The placements of the Safety and Fire Engineering program are decent despite the limited opportunities. Companies like Reliance, BPCL, IOCL, ONGC, and VEDANTHA make good offers here.
So my verdict is to go for Mechanical if you are sure about your interest in it else Safety and Fire Engineering is a good choice.
LNCT Bhopal IT will be better. It is considered among the best private institutes in Bhopal. The academics and placement offered by the institute are excellent. Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Accenture, Cognizant, DXC, etc. are some of the major recruiters for the branch. LNCT placements are excellent for IT. During the recent placement drive, students of the branch received the highest CTC of INR 27 LPA.
Choosing between CSE at NIT Jalandhar and an IT dual degree at IIITM Gwalior can be a tough decision, as both colleges have their unique strengths and weaknesses. Here's a comparison of the infrastructure and placement opportunities at both colleges to help you make an informed decision:

Placement:
The decision of which college to attend should be based on careful consideration of all relevant factors, including academic reputation, placement opportunities, infrastructure, and location. You should also consider your interests, goals, and priorities before making a decision. Weigh the pros and cons of both colleges, talk to current students and alumni, and consult with your mentors and family members before making a final decision.
IIT BHU and IIT Gandhinagar both are decent IITs. IIT Gandhinagar has a better NIRF ranking as compared to IIT BHU. Although IIT BHU has a lot of Engineering courses to offer, the overall infrastructure and environment are not as conducive as IIT Gandhinagar. Also, the recent year’s cutoffs are comparably higher for IIT Gandhinagar.
Furthermore, IIT Gandhinagar has a unique and distinctive “Foundation Program” which helps students get acquainted with academic life and college environment. Besides, the faculty of IIT GN is also among the best. On the contrary, there is a shortage of faculty members in many branches (including Civil Engineering) at IIT BHU.
The campus location of IIT Gandhinagar is also comparably better as compared to IIT BHU. It is pertinent to note that the campus of IIT BHU is merged with BHU, which makes the campus a crowded place for students. Also, the placement scenario in both the colleges is almost at the same level.
Although IIT BHU being much older than IIT Gandhinagar, offers a huge alumni base. IIT GN might be considered a new IIT by many, but the progress that it has shown is humongous. It also provides a conducive environment for research scholars and has an overhauled infrastructure (including labs). Both colleges have their pros and cons, so it is hard to choose one institute over the other.
