Both IIT Guwahati for Biotech and MNNIT Allahabad for IT are extremely different courses in terms of the scope they offer.
Go for Biotechnology only if you are genuinely interested in it because core placements are miserable and there is a dearth of job opportunities. Most students get placed in Analytics and other non-core sectors and only a few manage to secure a core job. So go for this only if you want to pursue higher studies.
MNNIT Allahabad’s IT program offers excellent job opportunities but lacks in terms of research and exposure. The coding culture is very good here but the academics is poor. The placement scenario is great second only to CS placements. If you aren’t sure enough consider the following points before making the final choice
Concludingly, if you have a specific preference for research and higher education, go for IIT Guwahati else MNNIT Allahabad is the best option for you.
MTech in Thermal is equally decent at NIT Warangal and IIT Guwahati. Both institutes give an edge to each other in most aspects and thus it leaves us only with a few parameters to evaluate IIT Guwahati and NIT Warangal.
Sparing the alumni network, everything speaks in favor of IIT Guwahati and makes it a better choice than NIT Warangal.

The choice is all up to you. Both institutes are best for providing foundational support for your education.
Without any second thoughts go for IIT Guwahati instead of DTU. Consider the points below if you aren’t convinced already.
In all, it can be safely concluded that IIT Guwahati is a far better choice than DTU.
IIT Guwahati might be a good choice if you are looking for a branch change. You will be allowed a branch change with a lower CGPA at Guwahati compared to other IITs. It is always better to first opt for the branch you are interested in. The competition level is very high for a branch change, especially in reputed institutions like IIT Mandi, and you need to strive hard for a branch change. So you can go with the option of IIT Guwahati.
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.
Both IIT Bombay and IIT Guwahati BDes branches offer excellent job opportunities and the high figures are a reflection of the same. IIT Bombay BDes recorded a placement percentage of 71%
IIT Guwahati BTech and BDes average package stood at INR 26.33 LPA. DOD recorded a placement percentage of 71.05%. The branch offers a plethora of future prospects and most students venture into successful careers in the field of Interaction Design. The institute has a record of having some of the best recruiters like Microsoft, Samsung RnD, Flipkart, Uber, Sprinklr, Ola, and many more who recruit designers from IIT Guwahati mainly for the role of UI / UX designers. The demand for these jobs and designers is increasing day by day so getting a good package for a BDes student shouldn’t be a concern for students of either institute.
For a specific company to stay in the race, it’s important to design a product that would attract more users than the company's competitors and it all required a good designer. So the role of a Designer and the scope of the branch, in general, should not be underestimated.
Getting a master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from one of the Indian Universities can feel like being stuck in a place forever.
If you want to pursue a Master’s program and learn, you would be way ahead in IIT Guwahati than in NIT Surathkal.
