I assume you are specifically talking about the CSE branch only. In that case, IIIT Hyderabad is certainly better than ISM Dhanbad in many ways. It has better research opportunities, curriculum, placement scenarios, better recognition among software companies, and a higher number of people qualifying for ICPC and GSOC.
However, everything about IIIT Hyderabad is CS-tailored so if you are open to other options or aren’t yet certain of CSE, then choosing ISM Dhanbad will do you more good.
So ultimately the ‘better’ college depends on your choice.
BML Munjal University is better for CSE.

Both NITs, namely NIT Hamirpur and NIT Bhopal are excellent engineering colleges. However, NIT Hamirpur is much better than NIT Bhopal, and here is why
Although NIT Hamirpur faces a slight locational disadvantage of not having great connectivity through Railways and air, the placement scenario is great. NIT Hamirpur CSE placement statistics have been mentioned below

NIT Bhopal placements for the CSE branch are decent too and the average package recorded was INR 17.45 LPA.
So, choose your college wisely!
Someone else's package doesn't guarantee that you'll also bag the same package. Out of mentioned options, NIT Patna is a better option not because of the 40 lakh package. The placement package had been offered by Adobe which is said to recruit 2 ladies each offering 20 lakh packages to each. But in 2018, Adobe hired a female student offering her 40 LPA package, which can be true or even wrong information. However, you should not take admission in NIT Patna just because someone bagged a 40 Lakh package. The package will depend on your dedication during the course. It will help you easily earning a 6-8 LPA package.

While there is no doubt that NIT Patna is an old institution, yet it lacks some of the basic facilities such as hostels and open spaces. The campus is quite small as compared to other engineering colleges. So, it does not feel like a proper campus to some students as they have to spend 4 years there.
In the present time, a mega hostel is being constructed but it is outside the campus. The locality surrounding the campus is very unpleasant.The good thing is that the campus is located beside Ganga, having some modern and beautiful ghats. The management and staff are strict and less creative.
Nowadays, engineering aspirants give more importance to the brand and tag of the college rather than the academic ambiance they offer. Like sheep in a herd, they flock to colleagues that have higher rankings and give them a tag to boast about in the process, They forget that for education, the tag does not matter.
IIITs are the most neglected institutes in this process. IIITs like Jabalpur, Allahabad, Kancheepuram, and Gwalior have been set up by MHRD that focus primarily on studies in the IT sector, unlike NITs that cater to various branches of engineering. IIITs thus have a CS-oriented culture, curriculum, and opportunities. This may not be the case for NITs that have many branches.
Although NIT Raipur is older than IIIT Jabalpur, it's not at par with IIIT Jabalpur at least in terms of its Computer Science education. IIIT Jabalpur has much better placements for the CSE department than the IT branch of NIT Raipur. Moreover, IIIT Jabalpur has collaboration with Universities in Japan, unlike NIT Raipur.
Here is a brief comparative analysis of both institutes

My brother is a CS student at IIT Roorkee, yet he suggests everyone should go for Electrical at IIT Delhi instead. Here are a few reasons why:
All these reasons are more than enough to convince someone to choose IIT Delhi over IIT Roorkee.
Among the second-generation IITs, Mandi would be a good option for the CSE branch. Even if you get other branches in Mandi, you have the option of changing branches to CSE after your first year.
The students are flooding to IIT Mandi for a seat in CSE, as they offer good placement support. Many recruiters are offering high-salary jobs to the students who completed CSE at IIT Mandi.
For research scholars, IIT Mandi is the perfect choice. The college also has efficient faculties and mind-blowing facilities. The campus is spread across 520 acres in an eco-friendly atmosphere.
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad has a better placement record for CSE, among these. Almost 100% of students from CSE, get placed with good salary packages. According to the recent highlights of IIT Dhanbad placements, the average and highest CTC offered to CSE students are around INR 15 LPA and INR 43 LPA. Reputed companies such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Sprinklr, etc. take part in the placement drive of IIT Dhanbad.
