As your choice of the branch is different it’s difficult to choose which will be the better choice. You should choose the branch you are more interested in and the institute which offers the batter program for that branch. Metallurgical engineering is a sub-branch of Mechanical engineering, whereas Civil is a core branch and have more option for higher studies. However, the employment opportunities for both branches are almost the same.

NIRF ranked IIT Bhubaneswar 17th in the engineering category. The department of Civil Engineering, the Scchool of Infrastructure at IIT Bhubaneswar have 8 laboratories well-equipped with modern facilities to carry out academic projects and research works. In 2019 the JEE Advanced closing cutoff for Civil Engineering was 7054-14844.

According to the placement statistics, 89% of civil engineering students got placements in 2019. The average package for civil engineering was INR 11.51 LPA. Core companies that visited the campus for employing Civil Engineering students were HPCL, IOCL, L&T.

IIT Indore is ranked at 13th place in NIRF 2019. The institute offers a good Metallurgical Engineering program with decent placement. In 2019 the JEE Advanced closing cutoff for the Metallurgical Engineering branch was 9795.
Around 99% of the students got placements in 2018-19 at IIT Indore and the average package was INR 16.5 LPA. Whereas, the highest package was around 43 LPA. The top companies that participated in the placement were HPCL, Honda, Bharat Petroleum, etc.

Both are good IIT’s but IIT BHU being an old institute offers a vast alumni network due to which placements percentage is high. Also being 100 years old institution IIT BHU has well-established labs with good equipment. Whereas, IIT Indore is a new IIT and still developing. According to NIRF Rankings, IIT BHU has a better ranking that Indore: IIT BHU(11), IIT Indore(13).

Mechanical Department is one of the oldest departments of IIT BHU and has many experienced faculties who are experts in their fields. Research culture at IIT BHU is also better than IIT Indore and there is a lab in IIT BHU being sponsored by DRDO for research. The course curriculum for Mechanical is nearly the same at both the colleges. As IIT Indore is recently established (2008) it has modern infrastructure while the infrastructure of IIT BHU is quite old.

Apart from academics, the IIT BHU Gymkhana has lots of clubs and councils like Sports, Science and Tech Council, Film & Media Council, Cultural Societies which boosts personality as well as skills. Also, IIT BHU has 3 fests (Spardha, Technex and Kashiyatra) that witnessed the participation of students from over 1500+ colleges and schools and top motivational speakers and celebrities.

Regarding placements stats of IIT BHU, top companies, and government organizations like DRDO, ISRO, IAF, Maruti, Bajaj, L&T, BHEL, HUL, IOCL, etc. visits campus for recruiting students. In 2019 a total of 109 students got placement from Mechanical Engineering with average salary package ranging between 10 LPA to 58.21 LPA. The average package offered in IIT Indore was around 16 LPA. Placements of IIT BHU has an edge over IIT Indore.

So, overall IIT BHU Mechanical is better than IIT Indore Mechanical.

IIT Indore, established in 2009, is ranked 10th by NIRF in the engineering category. While IIT Tirupati and IIT Palakkad were recently established and haven't been ranked yet by NIRF.

The table given below briefly compares the colleges. 

Placement

The first batch of both IIT Palakkad and Tirupati graduated in 2019, hence detailed placement data is not available. While at IIT Indore average placement rate has been over 90%. 

The table given below gives a brief comparison on placement statistics.

Campus

• IIT Tirupati and Palakkad- Both these campuses are under construction as of now and students have to stay in a transit campus. Hence, all facilities cannot be availed yet.
• IIT Indore- Spread across 501 acres, has state-of-the-art infrastructure and well equipped labs. It is in collaborations with over 10 International universities and students get a chance to work on significant research projects.

It is difficult to declare a college better than the other as all follow almost similar curriculum and the IITs are reputed for the highly distinguished faculty contingency. It is up to the individual to select a given course in a particular college and excel in that field of study.

Both IIIT Hyderabad as well as IIT Indore are well-reputed universities and offer several opportunities for students interested in computer science engineering. NIRF ranked IIT Indore at 10 for its B.Tech course whereas IIIT Hyderabad was ranked at 6 by Outlook in India 2020 and 43 for its B.Tech course by NIRF in India 2020.
