NIT Trichy is one of the top 10 institutions in India for Engineering, NIT Patna makes it to the 56th position in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering.
Despite this, I would suggest you go for CSE from NIT Patna. Out of my experience of meeting different people, I would suggest you choose a better course over a better institution. CSE is in demand these days, while Civil might not be a good choice placement-wise.
A friend of mine pursued his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from a top NIT. He did not land a decent job. After that, he cracked GATE and went for his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from DTU. Even after his M.Tech, he landed a package of INR 5.5 LPA.
Civil Engineers from IIT Guwahati in my friend circle started preparing for UPSC because of not getting a job.
I believe that a course tag is permanent unless you switch your stream during your Masters. Therefore, I would suggest you take CSE from NIT Patna instead of Civil from NIT Trichy.

I have friends studying at both IIIT Lucknow and NIT Patna, and according to their first-hand experience, IIIT Lucknow is the better choice here. Here’s what you need to know.
Check out some of the reasons why you shouldn’t choose NIT Patna.
Overall, ECE at NIT Patna is not a good option. Go for CSE IIIT Lucknow any day for a great curriculum, great facilities, great location, and great placements. Also, the CSE branch gets you more chances of better placements in most colleges in India.
It’s difficult to determine which institute is better. However, given below are information about the colleges which may help you make the decision.

Therefore, if a choice has to be made, one can look at the different parameters mentioned above.
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
NIT Patna is definitely better than NIT Durgapur in terms of campus life and academics. The institute is considered to be a prestigious engineering college in Northern India given its excellent location just 2–3 km from the city. Students get to experience city life which is a great stress buster.
However, NIT Patna has a very small campus around 40 acres in contrast to NIT Durgapur’s 180-acre campus. The institute however has managed to provide all kinds of sports or recreational facilities even in such a limited space. There are amazing sports facilities so if you are a sports freak, this institute is for you!
The quality of recruiters is also decent and students have been placed in firms like Adobe, Amazon, Qualcomm, NetApp, Infenera, and De Shaw while some have been placed in start-ups like Arista Networks, Belzabar.
The institute has a great culture for the preparation of competitive exams owing to several coaching institutes like MadeEasy and the ACE Academy near the campus. So if you are considering core branches, this one's for you.
NIT Patna CSE earns significant points that make it better than IT at NIT Jalandhar.
For your final placements, you will have a chance at really good companies. The eligibility criteria for almost all CSE companies are fairly lax. Assume a CGPA of 6.5 to 7.0.
Companies that come to recruit always give CSE a preference over the corresponding IT branch in any college. Amazon, Adobe, Samsung, Samsung R&D, UHG, SAP Labs, Directi, Oracle Cloud Services, Oracle FSS, Zomato, Sprinkler, OYO, First American Pvt. Ltd., Factset, Oxigen, Verizon, Verity, Ericsson, MuSigma, Navriti, High Radius, Futures First, Smart Prix, Drishti, Polaris, Incture, Analytics Quotient, Sapient, Yodle, MAQ Software are among the companies that visit the campus.
