Let’s consider both scenarios individually to get a better understanding. YMCA CS is a decent option only if you are interested in the field because the opportunities are mostly limited to IT companies. There aren’t many options for further studies. 

However, if you go for Electrical/Civil Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra, then you can change your branch at the end of the first year depending upon your CGPA in the first year. In NIT Kurukshetra even the IT companies offer better packages than YMCA. If you are not able to change your branch you can get placed in PSUs. Electrical engineering students also get to choose their profile in their final year amongst Software, power, and control. So you have the flexibility to choose the field in which you want to get placed. You don't have to stick to the branch you took initially. This won’t be possible if you take YMCA CS. 

Here is a brief comparison of these institutes

An advantage of choosing NIT Kurukshetra over YMCA is the crowd quality and the NIT tag while YMCA offers a better location and higher growth prospects in the IT field as compared to electrical/Civil where the opportunities are limited.

So make your choice wisely!

Comparably, MAIT is better for a B.Tech. 

• It is more lenient regarding attendance. 
• MAIT has classes for 5 days. So, you will have more time to explore your interests.
• The student crowd is comparably better than MSIT.
• MAIT brand name is more recognized in the industry. 
• It has better fests and events than MSIT. 

MAIT placements are excellent. According to the recent placement drive, students usually receive a median CTC of INR 4.5 LPA. 

Choosing between IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras can be a daunting task, but there are a few things to keep in mind while making this decision.

• If you are from the North and want to be near home, then choose IIT Kanpur. For a South Indian, IIT Madras might be a better option.
• If you want to explore different parts of the country and experience diverse cultures, then you should consider the IIT in the other region. For example, a north Indian should choose IIT Madras and a south Indian should opt for IIT Kanpur.
• Don't get caught up in the rankings or the location. Both institutes are highly prestigious and offer excellent education and opportunities.
• In the past, IIT Kanpur used to close early, but that should not be a decisive factor.

You must keep in mind that both institutes are highly respected and highly regarded that offer excellent academic programs, faculty, and research opportunities.

The choice between IMI and Xavier University depends on which course you want to pursue.

If you want to pursue the core course, i.e., General Management at IMI or Business Management at XIMB, then both are almost at par with similar placements. Your decision will be based on your location and brand preference.

If you want to pursue HR, then Xavier has the advantage.

If you want to pursue Rural Management, Sustainability Management, Urban Governance or Masters in Business Finance, then IMI Delhi doesn't have any of these courses. On the other hand, IMI Delhi offers Banking and Financial Services which is not offered by Xavier University.

One of my cousins was in a similar dilemma when she got selected for both Civil at NIT Jamshedpur and CSE at IIIT Ranchi. S he decided to go for NIT Jamshedpur as she had no interest in the IT sector at all. S he wanted a core branch and NIT Jamshedpur seemed to be her best choice. Moreover, its Civil branch placements are considered to be at par with the top NITs. In your case too, it's best to focus on your interests and future prospects to make a healthy decision. If you have even a slight interest in the IT sector, choose IIIT Ranchi because its CSE is way better than NIT Jamshedpur CSE. 

Here is a brief overview of both the institutes'

So go for the branch that aligns with your preference. 

NIT Kurukshetra is certainly a better choice than Thapar University. A private University like Thapar may look appealing from the outside with its excellent infrastructure but NIT being a government college and an institute of National Importance certainly has an edge in terms of fees, academics, facilities, and the crowd it attracts. Here are a few strong points that might convince you to choose NIT Kurukshetra 

1. Infrastructure : Most government colleges are old and have falling infrastructure that reminds you of an old building. However, the departments of each stream are well-established. 
2. Internet : NIT Kurukshetra campus has 24*7 wifi/ LAN access almost everywhere.
3. Fees : Government colleges don’t charge exorbitantly high fees like private colleges. NIT Kurukshetra fees for the first year are 1.6 Lakhs while the same for Thapar University is 4.61 Lakhs.
4. Fest : The fests organized by government colleges are at another level given the fact that they receive funds from the government for the same. Students have to pay very less for registration whereas in private colleges students have to pay a hefty sum.
5. Crowd: The government colleges have a much better and refined crowd for the simple reason that these students have worked hard to qualify for admission whereas the private colleges rarely conduct any test and just accept students for money.
6. Placements: Government colleges are visited by the best companies that offer excellent packages. Here is a difference in the placement scenario of the two colleges

Even the placement scenario is better at NIT Kurukshetra so just go for it!
