There is no comparison between IIIT Raipur and IIEST Shibpur for Engineering. IIEST Shibpur is a much older and well established college than IIIT Raipur. Being a student of IIEST Shibpur myself, I can confidently say that the college is much superior when it comes to engineering.

Metallurgy at NIT Raipur is a much better option than CSE at IIIT Raipur. The reason for this being, NIT Raipur is a well-established institution so you will have better chances of getting placed than in IIIT Raipur, no matter which branch you opt for.
According to the recent placement highlights, the average package offered at IIIT Raipur was INR 7.50 LPA whereas, at NIT Raipur, it was INR 9.5 LPA.
NIT Raipur provides a sliding option, too. So, even if you are not getting CSE in the first place, you can easily change from whichever branch you are into CSE within two years.
Among all the above choices, PEC Chandigarh is preferred due to the scenario of placement, which is better compared to the others. Do not depend on the NIT or IIIT tag as PEC holds a better reputation as an educational institution.

Placement (Winning Institute- PEC Chandigarh)
Students and Curriculum
To conclude, though PEC being an excellent institute in terms of placement, is still unnoticed by most people due to the absence of an IIT or NIT tag. This is an advantage for NIT Raipur or IIIT Naya Raipur or any other IIIT to stand a step ahead in terms of fame.
Here is the best preference order you can refer to while choosing one IIIT from the long list you mentioned. I have considered all parameters including placements, coding culture, research, infrastructure, alumni, etc
If you are genuinely interested in coding or CSE, the best options for you would be IIIT Hyderabad, Allahabad, Bangalore, and Delhi. You can consider the top NITs as excellent options too. These 4 IIITs are the only IIITs that are better than NITs in terms of research, curriculum, and holistic development.
IIIT Lucknow, although a new IIIT, has established its name among the top IIITs. Its high ranking is because of its excellent coding culture and thus many product companies visit it. These 4 IIITs have their own campus too and charge high fees because of the top-notch faculty and research resources they offer.
All the remaining IIITs are in the development stage and should not be given consideration. It’s better to choose the top 7 or 8 NITs than these developing IIITs.
