Mechanical/Electrical Engineering is superior to Production Engineering because Mechanical engineers can apply for jobs in the field of Production, whereas Production engineers cannot apply for core Mechanical jobs.

So, instead of selecting Production, I will recommend Mechanical /Electrical at NIT Durgapur in this case. 

Here is a brief outline of NIT Durgapur. 

Choose between Mechanical and Electrical based on your interests.

NIT Rourkela now is the country's second-best NIT. It is well equipped with great laboratory facilities. NIT Durgapur is behind Rourkela's facilities and infrastructure. 

Now to biotech versus chemistry. Biotech is a new area and currently evolving. You will have good research and higher education opportunities if you study in this area. You can do a lot of research in this area. As far as investment is concerned, it is much less important because there is less core business.

It's a strong branch when it comes to chemical engineering. It is also a strong area if you are involved in science or higher research. More industrial than biotech is applicable in this area. Statistics are higher than biotech during the placement process. Like many good recruiting firms around the world. There are Govt employees, too. The most Maharatna companies in this sector, big government companies like IOCL, HPCL are some of the popular ones. 

Biotech is the best for you if you want to study and investigate. Many explorable areas. NIT Rourkela offers the best biotechnology laboratory facilities. For biotechnology, this is the best NIT. It's not successful placing-wise. Key firms are much lower, only non-core firms must be reliant. It's fine MoUs for Nit Rourkela. Too fine faculty. You are highly trained and experienced. If you maintain a good CGPA, you can also have good international internships.

IIIT Allahabad is unquestionably superior to NIT Durgapur. But this isn't to say that NIT Durgapur isn't good. 

• If you want a career in ECE, don’t go for NIT Durgapur. ECE branch at NIT Durgapur does not have good reviews. 
• However, if you want to go for an MBA after your BTech, then NIT Durgapur can be a good option. 
• In the ICT sector, IIIT Allahabad holds a special position for ECE and this institute specializes in the IT sector. I have a few friends at the institute who vouches for the course. 

Here’s a brief comparison of the ECE branch at these two institutes.

Apart from that, just like NITD, IIIT Allahabad is an institute of national importance that is entirely funded by the Ministry of Human Resources Development. 

So, for ECE, IIIT Allahabad is definitely the better option.

Let us go with a side by side comparison of both the colleges on the basis of the following factors: NIRF Ranking, Faculty and Placements.

NIRF Ranking: As per NIRF 2020, NIT Durgapur has been ranked 47th whereas IIITM Gwalior has been given a rank above 100.

Faculty:Having friends in both of the colleges I can share their views, and according to their personal experience the faculty at IIITM Gwalior is one of the best faculties out there in India. Also, you will get good research facilities in IIITM Gwalior.

Placements: As many of you might find this a major point while choosing colleges, you should know that NIT Durgapur offers placements for CSE branch with an average package of 6.5 lac pa and 29 lac pa being the highest package. On the other hand, there is not much data available on placements at IIITM Gwalior as CSE is a newly introduced branch.

At the end of the day, if placements are your topmost priority then NIT Durgapur is the best choice. But if you are more inclined towards research work you will need a good faculty for that, which you’ll get at IIITM Gwalior.

If coding is your area of interest and you are getting a chance to join ECE at NIT Durgapur then grab it.

• The coding culture at NIT Durgapur is amazing. You will grow a lot here.
• The ECE department has produced many GSoCers and also fantastic competitive coders.
• The department does not pressurize the students much and you can peacefully do your work.
• If you maintain a good CGPA, you can even get a summer internship at ‘CERN’.
• The institute has put in a lot of effort to build a good research culture. The department also receives sponsorship for research. In the past, it has done research sponsored by research initiation grant, DST, and SERB.

If you are devoted to coding, NITD ECE will offer you many opportunities.

Well, both the colleges are in different states and both have their own set of reports, some good some bad. Though from an infrastructure point of view, NIT Jamshedpur is small and cozy whereas NIT Durgapur is quite beautiful and flourished in about 187 acres of land.

• The campus life at NIT Durgapur is really awesome. Apart from academics and infrastructure, it’s an NIT so you can understand it's pretty good.
• But if you really want to experience it, you should definitely join NIT Durgapur and enjoy the vast playgrounds, clean campus, and friendly environment.
• Though you can get some negative aspects but there is nothing wrong related to campus life.

Similarly, it goes for NIT Jamshedpur.

• Even though the infrastructure of NIT Jamshedpur is not at par but definitely the campus life is awesome here too. The students make the campus lively.
• You will get to see a vast and clean area with basketball, cricket and football ground.
• Though the facility of Wi-Fi is not provided but you will have sufficient speed and workstations to fulfill your needs.
• The mess food provided is of good quality.
• There are many places to hang out and inside the institute only. The cleanliness is very good; in fact, Jamshedpur is one of the cleanest cities of East India.
• The seniors are awesome and do cooperate and guide you if you face any issues.

Both the campus have good campus life and environment. But better contact someone who studies there and judge the authenticity and then choose between the two and definitely consider placement, faculty, and research before opting for either of them. The campus life at NIT Jamshedpur is quite good and you are not going to regret joining this institute.

If you consider the institutional ranks, then IIEST is always ahead of most of the NITs in India. Besides, the core branch and its placement statistics are also better in IIEST. 

But in the case of IT and CSE, NIT Durgapur grasps a better position than IIEST. However, IIEST is not so behind, and there is a chance that IIEST will surpass its positions in the next 3 years for the subjects CSE and IT. It can be mentioned that the faculties of IIEST are also better than all of the NITs.

If you are planning for higher studies, then IIEST Shibpur would be a better choice. You will be associated with great professors as well as students from not only India but abroad as well.

However, if you are not getting your desired subject in IIEST, you could go for NIT DGP.
