Seeing your interest in both branches, IIEST has a wide scope of diverse cultures and you will find many students from all over the nation. 

IIEST Shibpur offers great exposure in terms of academics as well as extra-curricular activities along with the interactive clubs and fun happening fests. It comes under the Government of India and is one of the NIT. 

However, Aerospace Engineering is not a trending branch anymore and it was in the limelight a decade ago. To open up more opportunities, you will be required to pursue a Master’s or prepare for the competitive exams to get a decent job. 

ECE at Heritage Institute is more prominent but being a private college, it is not up to the mark as compared to Aerospace Engineering. The placement opportunities at HIT are not good. Therefore, all you can do is to opt for IIEST, get a decent aggregate, and change the branch from Aerospace to ECE in the second year.

Before deciding, you should pay a visit to both the institutes. After analyzing what they have to offer, choose as per your convenience. 

Here are some factors you should have knowledge about AIT (Acharya Institute of Technology). One of my colleagues is a Communications and English language Professor here, and can possibly elaborate on this subject better. 

• Since he interacts with the students and professors of the Aeronautical department, he mentions that they have unlimited energy for student facilitation, guidance, and mentoring. 
• They take part in a large number of events, whenever organized. 
• If you visit the campus, you will be thrilled to see their enthusiasm regarding their ongoing projects. 
• Acharya Institute of Technology claims to have strong tie-ups with American, European, and other foreign universities, making it rather simpler to pursue higher studies overseas. 
• A large number of students also visit my colleague for in-house TOEFL coaching, before eventually applying for the student visa to the United States. 

In fewer words, it is a life-changing course, if pursued with proper guidance and efficiency. Hope this answers your query.

IIIT Delhi is clearly the best choice out of the three options especially if we are talking about CSE. Your preference order should be the following.

IIIT Delhi (Indraprastha) > Thapar University > LNMIIT Jaipur

Cutoff: (IIIT D > Thapar University)

The quality of the students also has an effect on how the college performs and also in its rankings. The cutoff for CSE at IIIT Delhi is around 200-225+. Thapar University admits students with JEE Mains marks more than 170 for students’ outside Punjab and 150 marks for students from Punjab. The cutoff indicates IIIT D offers a better peer group. 

Placements: 

• In terms of placements and internships, IIIT Delhi tops the list. The avg. package for the CSE branch in IIIT Delhi is around 15 lakhs per annum. 
• Overall avg package in Thapar University is around 8 lakhs per annum and for CSE Branch is around 10 lakhs per annum with a placement rate of 94 percent. 
• In LNMIIT Jaipur the avg packages are around 6 lakhs per annum. 

Thpar has a great coding culture. However, based on student crowd, placements, etc. the best option among the given choices is IIITD.

After doing some research online about these colleges, I found out that mostly students prefer DDU. It would be better in all the ways from campus to placements.

• The campus of DDU is very good. The infrastructure is well developed.
• All the required facilities are provided and they are fully functional.
• The labs are well maintained.
• The teaching faculty is very good and much better than LD and MSU.
• The academic curriculum at DDU is better than LD and MSU.
• Companies such as Infosys, GSFC, Reliance, Wipro visit for hiring.

You may also want to know that why they do not prefer LD:

• It is a Government institute and it comes under Gujarat Technological University. The exams are conducted at odd timings.
• The schedule is not followed well and vacations are not given at the proper time.
• The students do not get time to learn anything or do internships.
• The labs are poorly maintained and not functional.
• The teaching faculties are not good and supportive. Students have to do self study.
• The only advantage of studying at LD is that it gets a good number of companies as it comes under GTU. Companies such as TCS, Accenture, Cybage, Persistence, HSBC, elite core, Wipro, matrix visits for hiring.

The students passing out from DDU have more skills and knowledge compared to other students. So, overall, DDU would be a better option.
