Both branchers are slightly different except for a few topics that overlap in the curriculum. Comparing it with one another is not worth it as both have their own differences.
Let’s take a quick comparison for clearing one’s view:
It is suggested to select the field based on interest. Go for CSE only if you are inclined towards the field otherwise, both branches can give you ample opportunities to learn and grow.
Whether IIT Hyderabad Mechanical or NIT Tricy CS is ‘better’ depends on multiple factors such as your inclinations and career prospects. In short, if you are passionate about Mechanical Engineering then IIT Hyderabad is the best option. The placement opportunities will be average but the scope of higher studies ad research is great here. On the other hand, if you are inclined towards CS, NIT Trichy is the destination for you.
Apart from the branch, there are various other factors like the kind of campus life you want and your interest in getting placed. If you are looking for a glamorous campus life, NIT Trichy will serve you better. NIT Trichy is known for its rich extracurricular culture and has a lot of well-established student clubs. It also has excellent infrastructure and a huge campus with enough space for all of them. Those interested in programming, robotics, etc can pursue their passion as there are many clubs for the same. Here. your branch rarely matters as you will be involved in similar activities as everyone.
There are some students who are driven by the monetary return they will be getting and getting placed is their ultimate goal. In that case, it is important to know that placements in mechanical will not be on par with CSE. NIT Trichy placements are excellent and there are almost 100% placements. So placements wise too, NIT Trichy is better than IIT Hyderabad.
Location-wise, IIT Hyderabad has a slight advantage over NIT Trichy. So both colleges have their own strengths and weaknesses and your personal preference should be the ultimate driving factor.
In terms of both campus life and placements, I will rank NITT > IIT H irrespective of all other factors.

CSE at NIT Patna- Here are some pros and cons of joining NIT Patna for your CSE-
CSE from NIT Patna will offer good placement opportunities. But you’ll have to compromise on an amazing campus and a great campus life. I recommend you talk with the alumni from both these courses and try to find out some more perks that I might’ve missed out on.
My friend is currently pursuing B.Tech from NIT Raipur in the mechanical department. His honest opinion says that you should go for metallurgy at NIT Trichy. Here’s why
So, if you simply want to get into a better place then choose NIT Trichy. This is because you can get the advantage of branch sliding anyhow. However, if you don’t want to take risk of not getting the desired branch, then go for NIT Raipur.
At last, sort your preferences and know your sole aim. Because in the long run, your happiness and satisfaction are what matters the most!
I would suggest you choose NIT Trichy for pursuing CSE. NIT Trichy is the best among all the NITs. If your interest lies in materials or metal, then Metallurg is a good choice. Among all the NITs, NIT Trichy stands out for its continuous effort towards providing quality education to the students. NIT Trichy is known for its vast alumni network and industry connection which will help you to network with people from different walks of life.
In NIT Trichy, you will have the motivation to grow your career in terms of deciding to be an entrepreneur or pursuing higher studies.

My brother is currently enrolled in B.Tech at NIT Trichy. As per his experience, Some of the things which the students sometimes dislike at the Computer centre of NIT Trichy include:
Now, coming to some of the good aspects about the Computer Center at NIT Trichy.
The MBA students of DoMS NIT Trichy will not be significantly affected by the presence of IIM Trichy during the placement season. NIT Trichy is a well-known technical institute and around 60% of the companies that come for Techies also come for NIT Trichy. This means that there is a set of companies that are already open to hiring NIT Trichy students. In the past few years, more and more companies have opened up placements for DoMS, increasing the percentage placement conversion from these companies. The Training and Placement Committee also works to bring in more companies that align with the interests of the students.
Additionally, there are alumni connections that can be utilized. There may be some challenges with companies based in Chennai or Bangalore coming from BIM, but IIM Trichy has a different set of companies and therefore will not greatly impact NIT Trichy in that regard.
