Despite being new IITs, these three IITs are good in terms of placements and academics for CSE. Before choosing among these IITs, you should take advice from the seniors at these institutes, explore different aspects and then choose accordingly.

IIT Indore is the best of all three IITs. It has very good research facilities in comparison to the other institutes and is rapidly improving. Since every other institution mentioned above is an IIT, so, there shall be always better opportunities in comparison to any other Engineering college in India. Also, IIT Bhubaneswar has a very good campus life and teaching faculty. It always stands at par in comparison to old IITs.

NIRF rankings are given to institutes according to the availability of facilities in various fields in the institute by MHRD. Faculty, campus life, and research facilities must be very good for an institute with good NIRF ranking. As Gandhinagar and Bhubaneswar are the capital cities, they lead to better connectivity and other metro facilities. 

Campus life is always peaceful in any IIT since they are constructed in specially chosen places and they grow rapidly and simultaneously with other IITs. But the quality of teaching and the teaching methods vary from one institute to another. IIT- BHU and IIT Indore have their own campus with good hostel facilities while IIT Gandhinagar has its permanent campus but is still under construction. 

The other way of choosing the institution is checking with the JEE advanced cut-off ranks. This would give an insight into the facilities in the institute and quality of the peer group as the quality of the peer group is the most important deciding factor in the selection of a campus.

Every branch has its own unique features that might be more appropriate in line with your preference. As it is not possible to study in all the IITs, one may have only a little knowledge about other institutes - not enough to quench your thirst for information.

Talking of IIT Bhubaneswar, it has one of the best mechanical departments in all mediocre IITs, with quite an experienced faculty and really experienced professors. 

• Campus: The campus provides the students with all fundamental facilities, labs, and high category workshops which helps the student to get more practical knowledge about the subject. 
• Seminars: Additionally, they often organize fascinating seminars and interactive sessions by professionals that are extremely informative and interactive for the students. The school also motivates students and offers them the opportunity to work on their projects right from the first year by giving them access to DIC (Design Innovation Centre). 
• Placements: Placements corporations like Nalco, Tata Steel, Vedanta, Tech Mahindra, etc has headquarters in Bhubaneswar that eventually provide a higher chance for position and placements with the average package as released by the Institute of the mechanical department is 8.8 LPA while the highest is around 14 LPA.

Coming to IIT Jodhpur, it follows a curriculum that is comparable to most of the old IITs and being a new IIT, you may have a chance to have an opportunity regarding changes in the course curriculum. The school has got one of the best pool of Faculty Members with great work experience in analysis and teaching. 

• Campus: The infrastructure is very up to date and is still under construction. The accommodation provided by the institute is incredibly clean and up to the mark.

It makes it easier for the student to manage their mode well. 
• Placement: If we talk about the placement here are at par with other IITs and they are usually similar to 2008 league IITs. Recruiters for each core as well as non-core regularly visit here. Some regular recruiters for mechanical engineering are ISRO, TVS, Mahindra, Indian Navy, etc. The institute also offers IIP(Industrial Immersion Program). Through this program, eligible students are able to grab Internships from the first year itself in Companies like Mahindra, Tata, TVS, etc. It is unique to IIT Jodhpur.

Before swinging your finger down on one Institute, you can seek advice from as many seniors as you’ll be able to and build a hip and right call.
