Both IIT Tirupati and IIIT Bangalore are well-respected institutions in India with strong programs in engineering and technology. The decision of which college to choose should be based on your personal preferences and goals.
Personally, I feel you should go for IIIT Bangalore since you seem to be interested in CSE. IIIT Bangalore is a highly reputed engineering institution in India, known for its strong programs in computer science, information technology, and electronics. The institute focuses primarily on industry collaboration and entrepreneurship and is known for its cutting-edge research in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing. Although it lacks the IIT tag, this degree will cater to your interests better than Mechanical. The IIT tag is of no use if you aren’t interested in Mechanicals. Additionally, the new IITs are yet to make the mark and prove their credibility in the engineering field.
Ultimately, the choice between IIT Tirupati and IIIT Bangalore depends on your specific interests and career goals.
Both IIT Jodhpur and IIT Tirupati are reputed institutes. However, IIT Jodhpur is a second-generation IIT whereas IIT Tirupati is a third-generation IIT and has a long way to go to be at par with IIT Jodhpur.
Based on what I heard from my friends at IIT Jodhpur, I can say it has a terrific campus. It is the first fully planned technical campus with unique Incubation and Technology Park. IIT Jodhpur is making good advances in its placement and research work. Students at the institute get placed in core and non-core companies. Many alumni of the institute are also pursuing their studies in foreign universities.
Here are some recent statistics regarding the two institutes.

If you have to choose between two IITs that are not old, it’s wise to choose the campus which is more developed and older. Outline your evaluation by comparing the faculty and research activities of both the IITs. Refer to your seniors there and friends to gain better knowledge. Hope this helps you in making a decision.
