Both institutions are equally good and reputed so it’s difficult to determine which institute is better. As IIT BHU is an old institution it offers a large alumni base which results in excellent placement. In 2019 a total of 104 students from chemical engineering was employed. The average salary package ranged between 10 LPA to 58.21 LPA. Whereas there was 71% placement for chemical engineering in IIT Guwahati with average placement package 15.5 LPA. IIT BHU is comparatively better in terms of placement.

For research, IIT Guwahati stands out because of its immaculate infrastructure in addition to well-equipped labs, course curriculum, faculties, and methodologies of teaching. In the field of research activities, it is way ahead of IIT-BHU.

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma a few years back. There are several outlooks to consider when deciding which among both of these should be your choice. The points listed below will give you a fair idea to think about it,

• The NIT tag matters not just inside the boundaries of the nation, yet outside of it. That means, choosing NIT over PEC will give various international recruiters a solid reason for hiring you. 
• Other than that, the recruiters hiring in PEC Chandigarh are nearly the same as that of NIT Kurukshetra.
• PEC did come close to becoming an IIT but there is no such possibility anymore. 
• NITs have a more focused academic environment. 
• If you want to pursue any coaching for either UPSC or GATE, then you can opt for PEC.
• My sister was a student of NIT Kurukshetra herself and according to her the studies, curriculum, exposure are better at NIT than most of the newly established IITs.

NIT Kurukshetra does have a slight edge over PEC.

The Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the four campuses of the larger state university, Anna University, of the state of Tamil Nadu. The placement process for all these four colleges happens simultaneously in a combined process. 

The placement data for MIT Chennai is given below along with the data of the Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science (HITS or Hindustan University) for the year 2018-19.

So undoubtedly, MIT is better than Hindustan University in all respects as well as placements. Anna University placements are even sometimes comparable to some leading NITs and IITs in some branches such as Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). So, you can obviously realize which is better for you in terms of placements.
