Without any second thoughts, IIT Delhi MnC is the best option among all the aforementioned colleges. It's one of the top 5 IIts and moreover, its MnC program is highly sought after by engineering aspirants. The preference order in your case should be
It's safe to say that none of the above colleges can match the standard of IIT Delhi, which is in itself a brand. MnC is quite similar to CSE though a few core computer courses are not included. Also, this branch is handled by the Mathematics department and not the CSE department. However, if you are more inclined towards CSE than MnC, then the best options for you would be IITR or IITG CSE.

Based on the data above, the lowest cutoff required to get CSE at NIT Surathkal this year was a rank of 3347.
All the 3 NITs namely NIT Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal are considered to be among the top NITs and are highly regarded engineering colleges. Their rankings are also quite similar but in my opinion, the preference order should be
NIT Warangal>NIT Surathkal>NIT Trichy
The reason Trichy should be your last option is because it does not permit students to go for Internship which in turn results in no PPOs. Many students get PPOs and thus are free from the stress of sitting for placements. Also, internships give you a better experience of the real world. Here is a brief overview of these 3 colleges

There are several reasons supporting the cause that NIT Trichy is better than NIT Surathkal, with the fact that there are unemployed M.Tech graduates even from NIT Surathkal. The table below gives a brief overview of the institutes.

One of my friends got ousted from M.Tech in NIT Surathkal due to poor marks in the beginning semester. In the next year, he got into NIT Trichy and successfully secured a PSU job in placement. On the other hand, there were several students from that batch of NIT Surathkal who remained unemployed.
In the batch of 2012-14, about 29 students from M.Tech were unplaced in NIT Surathkal. Even the training and placement cell and the department did not care about the failure of so many students.
There are students from NIT Surathkal who are still struggling with odd jobs in hand, and some are even unable to settle in life.
So, if you have to choose between NIT Surathkal and NIT Trichy, prefer NIT Trichy. You will get better placement and opportunities at NIT Trichy as compared to NIT Surathkal.
There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA.
But if you aren’t particularly interested in Mining Engineering, then you should choose CSE at PES University. In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages.
Department of Mathematics runs the course of M.Tech in Computational Mathematics in NIT Surathkal. So, CMA students are not eligible to appear for a few companies' campus placement.

However, CMA students have several benefits which are as follows:
Therefore, the placement of an M.Tech in computational mathematics at NIT Surathkal is pretty good. If you are thinking of joining NIT Surathkal then you must go for it.
NIT Surathkal offers candidates a full-time 2-year MBA program the total fee of which is INR 2.5 lakhs. To be eligible for this program, you must have completed your bachelor's with at least 50% marks or 5.5 CGPA from any recognized university. Additionally, you will have to appear for CAT, MAT, and XAT. The institute does not release the exact MBA cutoff but here is a vague idea for you
The minimum CAT percentile required to get admission in the MBA program of NIT Surathkal is 80 percentile.
However, I am strongly against you joining this institute as its MBA program has no value. Go to a full time-dedicated MBA B-school, and not a department of any Government college. It will help you save money and time.
When it comes to choosing between two good institutes, it can be a tough decision to make. However, there are certain factors that you need to consider in order to make an informed decision.
Ultimately, the decision to choose between IIIT Allahabad and BITS Goa should be based on your individual preferences and priorities. You need to carefully consider all the factors mentioned above and choose the institute that aligns with your career aspirations and personal goals.
You will have to consider quite a few things before you decide between these 3 places. Most of my friends agreed that ECE is one of the toughest branches in engineering.
Additionally, other job roles you can expect from these institutes include managers in various industries. These will highly depend on your luck and personal leaning. You can expect a pay of INR 5 to 15 lakhs per annum. However, a drawback is that these companies look at your academic profile heavily. So if you have a lower grade, it is possible that this could stand as a setback.
Finally, when it comes to Tier 3 colleges NIT Rourkela is better, the job prospects from these colleges are not that great. You can expect to have a salary of INR 3 to 4 lakhs per annum with most jobs in service based companies.
