There are several factors on which you can compare CET(OUTR) and VSSUT. Some of these are-
These are just a few parameters for comparing the two. Both VSSUT and CET (OUTR) are renowned institutions. You must choose between the two based on your personal preferences.
VSSUT and CET are both autonomous universities. Here are some insights on pursuing B.Tech IT at these two-
VSSUT is much older. This makes it a bigger brand. But in terms of location, CET is a clear winner. VSSUT is located in the small town of Burla.
Burla has no direct air connectivity, and the fastest mode of transport is a 6 hour train journey from Bhubaneswar. Thus, top recruiters hesitate to visit the campus for placements. But the placement stats are good. The students miss out on competitive events and internship opportunities because of the distance from Bhubaneswar.
CET is the only government institute in Bhubaneswar other than IIIT. More recruiters visit its campus during placement season. Samsung, Dell and Toshiba are some of the top companies that visit the CET campus.
In terms of academics, VSSUT offers a flexible curriculum. This allows IT students to opt for a few advanced subjects. CET on the other hand, has a rigid course curriculum. In any case, make sure to polish your coding skills for a successful career in IT.
To conclude, pursue your B.Tech IT from the institution that best suits your personal preferences.
The best way to determine the right choice between VSSUT Burla and KIIT is to go through the pros of both colleges. I have listed some for reference

Choose as per your preferences and goals.
VSSUT, formerly known as UCE, Burla is one of the oldest institutions in Odisha. It has churned out many successful engineers who hold leadership positions in top MNCs. It provides endless opportunities to learn, have fun, and participate in extracurricular activities. However, it suffers from a location disadvantage being located in the western side of the state. It has a huge lush green 300-acre campus.

In a nutshell, VSSUT is one of the best places to pursue a career in engineering as it provides a plethora of opportunities

Here are some tips to score an 8+ CGPA during your B.Tech at VSSUT-
Maintain a good CGPA because it is very important for placements and higher studies (MBA, M.Tech, etc). Only the top 20 students from each branch are deemed eligible for the written test of L&T. To be one of those students, you’ll have to get 8.8+ CGPA in your B.Tech.
I have sources for the previous year's semester's question papers for the BTech in VSSUT. Some of these sources are
It’s advisable to go through the question papers once before the exam because every year some questions or the pattern gets repeated.
VSSUT Burla
Overall I feel VSSUT is better in terms of campus plumbers, hostel facilities, night canteens facility, and the variety of disciplines it offers.
Currently, VSSUT has 11 Hostels out of which 6 are boys hostels while 5 are girls hostels.
Boys
There are 4 old boys' hostels and 2 new ones. The old ones are West(Kratu), East(Atri), North (Vasistha) and South (Marichi), the condition of which isn’t very good. The rooms are in poor condition and the food served is the same every day. However, it has a well-maintained Central Garden and huge cricket fields. Additionally, you will find a TT room, TV room and Common room in all these four hostels. The North Hostel and South Hostels also have a library. The new hostels are Pulaha and Pulasthya which are designed excellently and have modern facilities.
Girls
VSSUT has 5 girls' hostels namely Anuradha, Arundhati, Visakha, Rohini, and Angira. From what I have heard from my fire dad, the food served is pathetic, even worse than boys' hostels.
Summing up, I would like to say that hostel life, be it anywhere, is about adjusting and creating memories with limited resources.
