Here is a detailed analysis of life at BIT Mesra and its pros and cons.
Pros:
Cons
So, the final decision is yours to make!
My uncle is a successful architect and has the experience of employing many architects. He shared his experience stating that architecture students of both BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy are Unfortunately both the institutions are engineering colleges where architecture is considered equal because both are engineering colleges with Architecture as just one of the many specializations offered by the institute. None of these institutes are specialized in this field so the students study in a more engineering-oriented ambiance. They lack the ability to think independently of constraints imposed by engineering abilities available in India. I recommend you pursue Architecture from an institution that has Architecture as its flagship course like CEPT or SPA.
Nevertheless, comparing Architecture from BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy, I will say the former has a better crowd and opportunities than the latter. Both are somewhat at similar levels and it's hard to make a direct comparison. It's that students from BITS Mesra are better exposed so they make better Architects than NIT Trichy students.
A typical hostel room at BIT Mesra is a 10*10 space. It has single occupancy and contains a bed, a chair, a table, and a few racks to keep your belongings. Each room has proper ventilation. The windows face the open grounds which grants easy access to mosquitoes and flies into the rooms. Each room has a tubelight and a fan. Some hostel rooms are comparatively new, while the others are a bit old. However, the rooms are pretty decent and have decent space for a single occupant.
My brother lived in hostel 10, 7 and 5 during his first, second and third year, respectively. The rooms in these were new and pretty decent. During his final year, he stayed at hostel 3 and his room was decent but very old. However, in the same hostel, his friend got a room which looked new.
The rooms at BIT Mesra are good enough and you will find them livable.
IT from NIT Raipur is the best option among these. The institute offers good placement opportunities for IT and CSE. Each year around 100% of students get placed from the IT department. Reputed IT companies such as Samsung, MuSigma, Oracle Cloud, Cognizant, etc. visit the campus placements. According to the highlights of NIT Raipur placements, IT department has an average CTC of around INR 6.78 LPA.
When talking about BIT Mesra and LNMIIT Jaipur, you need to reconsider the branch you are opting for. If you are anyhow interested in pursuing the branch of Computer Science, and you are simultaneously not getting the required seat at BIT Mesra, then choosing CSE at LNMIIT Jaipur will not actually be that bad of a choice.
BIT is hoping to push past more records, and enhance over time. It is known by students too that you will not regret the 4 years time of your course after graduating from the institution.
On contrary to BIT’s success, LNMIIT stands with an average package of 10.2 lakh per annum. That means both of them are good. But regardless of that fact, BIT Mesra still stands one step higher from LNMIIT Jaipur in total.
My brother is from BIT Mesra, so I think I can help you by answering this.
The same senior advised him to maintain a good CGPA throughout the academic year. He also asked him to practice coding.
In short, ACM and/or open-source stuff is the way to go for a CSE guy.
My friend is pursuing MCA from BIT Mesra and they find it to be an average course academically but definitely a profitable one in the future because of BIT's brand value. BIT ranks #16th on the NIRF rankings but its infrastructure and quality of faculty members cannot be said to be the best.
Highlight:
Here are some points to be noted.

BIT is one of the most reputed colleges in Eastern India and its brand value carries a lot of weight. The institute will surely help to kick start your career.
My cousin attended both colleges. He left BIT Mesra to join JECRC. Here is his insight for the institutes.
Comparison:
For CSE particularly, the preference order should be BIT Jaipur >> JECRC.
The best way to determine the right choice between CSE at BIT Mesra or NIT Jamshedpur is to go through a comparative analysis of both colleges. Consider the following parameters
Both the colleges offer similar opportunities with minor differences. So if you want the NIT tag, Hons degree, and lower fee then go to NIT, else BIT Mesra is the one for you.
