LNMIIT is definitely the best among the lot as it has a good alumni network, decent fees, good placements and it recently got accredited with a grade A NAAC certificate.

Talking about the other colleges- 

• Thapar University- Thapar provides great infrastructure, curriculum, faculty, and international exposure but as it takes admission through management quota, the quality of students may not be the same. Also, the fees are high and not everyone can afford it.
• IIIT Kota- IIIT-Kota despite being an IIIT is new and hence doesn't have a rich alumni network.
• Nirma University- Nirma is a good choice, but only if you are a Gujrati as 50% of seats are reserved for Gujaratis.

For the above reasons, you should choose LNMIIT for a CSE degree.

If IIT is the most important thing in your life then you should definitely choose the new IITs. You can take any trade at the old IITs because that makes much more sense considering there are already so many new IITs. The government isn’t going to stop opening new IITs, so the question arises that IIT is a brand name and that by the virtue of being an IIT, it should be preferred over all other non-IIT institutions.

When IIIT Allahabad was opened by the Central Government, it was given the status of an IIT. With the coming of the IIIT Act 2014, it is a de facto IIT for IT. IIIT Kancheepuram was mentored by IIT Madras whereas IIIT Jabalpur was mentored by IIT Kanpur. These centrally funded IITs can also claim the privilege that the new IITs claim which is, that they are an IIT and that they have been mentored by old IITs so that they should be preferred. People see that extra ‘I’ and do not apply the same logic and create a hierarchy of their own making and choosing that IIT> IIIT which is not backed by any evidence.

In the 2015 Allahabad High Court case, the court struck down the cancellation of the appointment of faculty using UGC norms as the excuse. The court said that since it was set up as an IIT, it must comply with IIT norms.

You should make a decision based on the learning atmosphere and the reputation of the college in the area which you want to pursue. In QS World University Rankings for Computer Science and Information Systems, IIIT Allahabad was ranked 11th in India just after the old IITs. The parameters for ranking use the quality of research and industry reputation. Moreover, the IITs are for science and technology having on an average 20 departments whereas IIIT specializes in IT.

IIT Dhanbad is better in CSE as compared to IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Dhanbad, established in 1926, is one of the oldest institutes in the country. On the contrary, IIT Bhubaneswar, established in 2008, comes under the list of new IITs.

The overall placement package for CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar might be more alluring than IIT Dhanbad, according to 2019 placement statistics there was 100% placement from the CSE branch and the average placement package offered was around 11.4 LPA while the highest went up to 39 LPA. However, in IIT Dhanbad, the placement rate of the CSE students were 90.23% and the highest CTC offered was 39.5 LPA.
Besides the number of students at IIT Dhanbad is more than IIT Bhubaneswar. IIT Dhanbad has an excellent coding culture and organizes a vast number of technical and cultural fests.

The number of opportunities in CSE offered by both institutions is almost the same. However, IIT Dhanbad definitely has a slight edge over IIT Bhubaneswar. Being one of the oldest institutes, IIT Dhanbad has better infrastructure as compared to IIT Bhubaneswar.

It has also produced a vast alumni number which are placed in the highest echelons of government organizations and global MNCs. In all other academic and hostel facilities, both the colleges are on par with each other. The faculty in the CSE department at IIT Dhanbad is also better than IIT Bhubaneswar.
