Both IIT BHU as well as IITK are reputed IIT’s. 

The course curriculum at both colleges is nearly the same. In IIT BHU students can pursue courses other than academics such as Management, Foreign Languages, Finance, Personality Development as its part of BHU University. Academics at IITK is relatively tougher than IIT BHU with tough grading scheme. IIT BHU allows flexibility to its students so that they can manage both academics as well as learn extracurricular skills.  
Research culture at IITK is better than IIT BHU with more no. of research papers being published every year and more students doing Ph.D. in the College. While infrastructure and labs are equally good at both the colleges. Both IIT BHU and IITK has one of the best faculties compared to top institutions. 

Placements are roughly the same at both Colleges. IIT BHU being 100 Years old enjoys its vast alumni network due to which placement percentage is high. Students from both colleges get placed in well-known firms such as HUL, IOCL, GAIL, Maruti, Bajaj. Besides Core Engineering there are companies from other sectors like IT/Software, Consulting, Finance, Analytics, Management, etc. that offer jobs in both the Colleges. The average package of both the colleges is around 10-12 lacs CTC. 
For the course curriculum and more research work, IITK has an edge over IIT BHU for Mechanical Engineering.

It all depends on the candidate’s decision. What may seem productive for him might fall flat for others.

Here pointing few specifications which might help you choose:

• IEM is a Private engineering College whereas; KGEC and JGEC are government owned colleges.
• Annual Tuition fees are far less for both the government colleges and IEM being a private institute holds higher fees and increases cost of living.
• Being government owned colleges (KGEC, JGEC), the student from financially weaker section is subjected to stipend, half-fees and full fees consideration.
• If we take a look at the campus location, IEM is situated in sector-V, in the crux of the IT revolution which began at Kolkata. Whereas, KGEC, JGEC have their own campus located outside of the main city.

IEM being a private institution is strict with its studies. But, being government colleges students can see little slack on education in KGEC and JGEC.

If campus recruitment is the sole criterion, then IEM stands out with a virtuous record. Whereas KGEC and JGEC in can see slack in core branches recruitment.

IEM being situated in the heart of the city’s IT sector, all the companies take interest to see the students from IEM. KGEC and JGEC located outside the main city.

If you compare KGEC with JGEC, KGEC is the way to go. KGEC has a better ratio of placements, infrastructure, facilities, and faculty than JGEC.

Choose KGEC if you want to study in any core department. Otherwise you can choose between JGEC and IEM for other departments. If you are looking for government jobs, KGEC is the one. Choose KGEC without hesitation. If you don’t get a chance to get into KGEC go for JGEC as both being government colleges gives less burden of fees and expenses.

Finally, it’s up to you to choose any one among the three engineering colleges. Based on the parameter, it drives your decision. My suggestion would be go for KGEC and if not then, JGEC over IEM.
