I am not sure about Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur but I can vouch for IIt Bhubaneswar, you can opt for any ECE, EE, or Mechanical engineering from IIT Bhubaneswar.
Both NITK and IIT Bhubaneswar are famous for offering excellent academic courses in Engineering, However, I can guide you about electronics and communication from IIT Bhubaneswar.
As your choice of course is different, it’s hard to select between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Surathkal.
According to the NIRF 2019, IIT Bhubaneswar is ranked at 26, which is a good rank considering it’s a new IIT. The Mechanical Engineering department is quite good at IIT Bhubaneswar. According to the 2019 placement record, 83% students got job offers from Mechanical Engineering in IIT Bhubaneswar. Many famous companies such as Amazon, H Jindal Stainless Ltd, KEC International, KIIT, Rao Edusolutions, TATA steel, TATA Advance System, Thermax, TETCOS, TESCO, UHG, and other companies as well recruited students last year.
NIT Surathkal is a well-reputed name in Indian Engineering institutions. According to NIRF Ranking, it ranks at 22 nationally among engineering institutes in India. ECE in this NIT is even better as compared to a few IITs. The placement records of 2018-19 show that 97% of placement offers were received by students in this department. The average placement offer was 12-13 LPA.
Both IIT Bhubaneswar for Mechanical and NIT Surathkal for ECE are good choices with their own advantages. So, choose wisely according to your convenience.
NIT Surathkal CSE will be a better option. It offers better academics and placements. NIT K placements are excellent for CSE. Students of the branch get an average CTC of around INR 15-16 LPA. While the highest CTC goes up to INR 45 LPA. Microsoft, Amazon, and D.E. Shaw & Co. are among the major recruiters of the branch.
ECE is a great branch and has a lot of research scope as well. IIIT- Allahabad is a great college with awesome infrastructure, amazing placements, and a growing reputation. Despite all this, some people say that ECE in IIIT- Allahabad is not up to the mark or appreciable.
Most of the students join IIIT Allahabad keeping in mind their coding culture. If you have an aptness for programming and want to pursue a career in the IT industry, go for IIIT Allahabad. People who have an interest in CSE/IT but fail to get a seat in a good engineering college join ECE in IIIT Allahabad just to get an IT-like atmosphere.
Not many students who come to IIIT Allahabad are interested in the core fields or the core ECE material. But this doesn’t indicate ECE here to be bad or not up to the mark. The ones who work hard in the core fields reach different levels of heights in their academic career. They have great courses with the core subjects right from the first semester. The robotics lab and club are very well established and have a great reputation.
Talking about labs, IIIT Allahabad is known to have one of the best class labs in the country with all the required aid and mechanisms. The core subjects start from the first semester itself. So, you don’t need to study physics, chemistry, etc. The teachers are very nice and well educated. They are really very helpful, co-operative and approachable.
The placement opportunities are great here, particularly in the IT sector. There is no point comparing EC with IT. IT/CSE placements are inferior in any college in India. The only disadvantage of joining ECE in IIIT Allahabad would be the peer group not taking interest in the core stuff. But if you are more concerned about yourself, it won’t matter much.
