Last year some of my friends were also caught in this dilemma and wondered the same question. It is recommended to contact seniors from the colleges you want to compare through social media. Check out each college's gymkhana and college websites to see what events they are participating in. You'll get a sense of what kind of life you'll have in the coming 4 years.
The following table shows a brief insight of both institutes:

There is no way to find everything in one college that you desire, and there will always be advantages and disadvantages. You should make the right decision for yourself if the available facilities and atmosphere will be productive to you or not.
Now, for the IIT BBS electrical and mechanical departments, they have separate schools with full lab facilities on a permanent campus. The majority of the professors are from IIT Kharagpur, and they are all knowledgeable and helpful to the students, given that they are all highly qualified and experts in their fields.
Both ISM Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneswar are well-known institutions for engineering education in India. Here are some points to consider when comparing the mechanical engineering programs at these institutions:
ISM Mechanical:
IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical:
It is difficult to say which institution is better as it depends on individual preferences and priorities. However, both ISM Dhanbad and IIT Bhubaneswar are highly respected institutions for engineering education in India, and graduates from both institutions have gone on to successful careers in the field of mechanical engineering.
ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else.
You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better.

If you had the option of choosing a circuital branch in IIT BBS, then it would be highly recommended to you, but since you are considering Civil, it is a better choice.
It all depends on your interests and future goals. Check the following points before taking a decision:
When the choices look upon, you must know that IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneshwar offer a 100% placement rate while NIT Rourkela has a placement rate of 85%.
The average package of IIT BHU is around 8.19 LPA while IIT Bhubaneshwar is 15.8 LPA and for NIT Rourkela is 8.75 LPA.
Category | IIT BHU | IIT Bhubaneshwar | NIT Rourkela |
On-Campus | 10 LPA | 15 LPA | 15.25 LPA |
Off-Campus | 65 LPA | 45 LPA | 30.6 LPA |
It's not always about the placements rather it's about your interest and abilities to learn and explore a particular field.
If you don't have any idea which branch to opt for, then you can go to the branch in IIT as it would be great to have an IIT tag and to start a career with it.
If you are eligible for all the above-mentioned colleges then BITS Goa and NIT Trichy are two of the best options.
