Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] (Civil Engineering) From IIT Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar

ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else. 

You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better. 

If you had the option of choosing a circuital branch in IIT BBS, then it would be highly recommended to you, but since you are considering Civil, it is a better choice.

Below given are a few pointers which will help you determine the better choice.

• Civil Engineering Cut off in BITS Pilani is 269 which is to be scored in their BITSAT admission test. On the other hand, IIT Bhubaneswar’s cut off is 6546-13803 in JEE Main
• BITS Pilani is a popular institution and can be compared with IIT Bombay, Delhi or Kanpur but IIT Bhubaneswar which falls under the category of newer IITs is not as popular as BITS Pilani.
• Being a private institute, BITS Pilani has a higher course fee that is around 16 lakh. Whereas IIT Bhubaneswar is a Govt. institute and the course fee is much lesser than BITS Pilani, 8 lakhs(approx.).
