It is true that, at the moment, IIM Kozhikode is regarded as being a more powerful institution than IIM Udaipur. This is most likely due to the fact that IIM Kozhikode has been in operation for a longer period of time and has had more time to build its reputation and resources. However, it is important to note that this comparison is not entirely fair because IIM Udaipur is a relatively new institution with less time to develop than IIM Kozhikode.
In the long run, things could change and IIM Udaipur could eventually compete with IIM Kozhikode on a level playing field. This would almost certainly necessitate IIM Udaipur continuing to invest in its resources and reputation, while also ensuring that IIM Kozhikode does not continue to outpace it. Furthermore, it would necessitate IIM Kozhikode to slip from its position of relative strength, which is not guaranteed.
It is important to note that when comparing institutions, it is important to consider more than just their reputation or past performance. Other factors to consider include location, campus culture, industry connections, and the quality of faculty and students. Finally, it is up to each student to determine which institution is the best fit for them.
First of all, forget about SGSITS Indore as it stands nowhere in front of IIIT and MANIT. If you are looking for good placement and salary then forget MANIT Civil too. The only options you are now left with are - IIIT Allahabad dual and IIIT Amethi IT. Clearing things about IIIT Amethi, it has been closed and have been moved to IIIT Allahabad.

There is no point in spending extra two years pursuing M.Tech at IIIT Allahabad because if you are interested in a PG Degree then you can prepare for GATE during UG. Doing so will get you admission at any IITs which would be better for your career.
It is better to go for IIIT Allahabad and if you feel to go for PG then prepare, get a good score and go for IITs. Otherwise, you can always go for placements and will probably land up a very good job.
The record of placement statistics at NIT Silchar and IITDM Kancheepuram has been relatively the same in recent years. The core recruiters who are working on AR and VR grab students from the CSE department, especially those who are skilled in coding. IITDM Kacheepuram has an added advantage for the students as they offer design courses other than core courses, which is beneficial during the interview session. IITDM is also leading in offering efficient classes, experienced faculties, good infrastructure, and hostel facilities to the students.
The final decision should be made based only on your interests.

As for choosing a better college that completely depends on the interest and preferences of the individual.
In this case, primary importance should be given to your interests only. If you are into Electrical engineering, then go for it, irrespective of the institute. But when talking about the institutes, NIT Warangal is leading in terms of placement, faculty, and academics. Let us have a look in detail
So, it is better to choose NIT Warangal for Metallurgy
Yes, one can definitely choose SPJIMR over the three IIMs IKL. To answer the why part, I have individually compared each IIM to SPJIMR and justified why SPJIMR is a better choice in all the 3 cases.
IIM Indore
SPJIMR over IIM Indore is a choice as everyone is aware of the huge batch size at IIM Indore which becomes a major obstacle during placements. Moreover, it gives a lot of weightage to past academics so it’s not a good option for those who fared average during 10 and 12 but are now ready to face challenges.
IIM Kozhikode
The only aspect in which Kozhikode has an upper hand when compared to SPJIMR is the campus beauty and I am sure this is not the most important criterion for judging a college at all. SPJIMR offers a more innovative and structured curriculum, a smaller batch size combined with the chance to live in the city of Dreams. The only aspect that it lacks in comparison to Kozhikode is the fact that you have to choose your specialization during admission itself whereas Kozhikode gives you a year's time to do so. Then again if you are certain of your specialization, nothing is better than SPJIMR.
IIM Lucknow
Honestly speaking many might consider IIM Lucknow a tad bit better than SPJIMR and rightly so. When it comes to consulting and Finance, IIM Lucknow is a better option. It also attracts the best profile and not the kind accepted at SPJIMR. Additionally, the batch comprises IITians majorly who are there for the tag. These geniuses create tough competition which is lacking in the case of SPJIMR. This turns out to be a benefit for SPJIMR as students who are not at the top are able to get good roles at top consulting firms. So in terms of Finance, Consulting, and IIM tag, IIM Lucknow seems to be better but is similar to SPJIMR in all other aspects.
It is quite unreachable and good faculty is not available too for teaching on time. My sister studies at one of the old NITs which are much better as far as networking and alumni support are concerned; they are better than the NIT you're enquiring about. Its ranking is not clearly available on major ranking platforms also.
Apart from this, you may want to note these down-
However, NIT is still in its developing phase, it has the potential to become as successful as its other namesakes but being new, permanent faculty is still to be recruited, some equipment is missing too, but being dedicated you might excel even there.
Now, I hope you'd understand that there are much better institutes in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana like JNTUH, JNTUK, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad etc. Well-known companies would actually like to recruit from these institutions rather than from NIT AP.
MDI Gurgaon is the better option among the two because of its location, placements, and even for the competitions and live projects that it offers.

It all depends on you – if you want to invest in the long shot and be recognized as one of those students who were a part of the early alumni or you would want to invest in an already established institution and make the most of your course.
The ‘better’ college for you depends on a lot of factors and is subjective in nature. Here is a glimpse of all the 3 colleges to make a more informed decision
