All mentioned institutes were founded in the year 2008 except IIT Indore which was founded one year later in 2009. Reputed companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Samsung, Cognizant, Amazon, Cisco, Flipkart offers jobs to students of these IITs. 

The CSE branch at IIT Indore is comparable to the CSE branch of older IITs. Also, it is the highest recruiting branch at IIT Indore and more than 98% of students were placed in 2019. According to last year’s placement record, the average package offered at this IIT was 16.06 LPA and the highest package was 43 LPA. 

IIT Patna has a hundred percent placement in the CSE branch with an average package of 16.76 LPA. The highest package received was around 40 LPA (on-campus). 

Similarly, IIT Bhubaneswar also holds a record of a hundred percent placement in the CSE branch with an overall average package of 11.44 LPA. The highest domestic CTC offered at this IIT in 2019 was around 39 LPA. 

The CSE batch at IIT Ropar received an average package of 13.83 LPA, up from 11.5 LPA. The highest package offered was 17.45 LPA in India and the highest international package was $125000 Per annum. 

In last year’s placement drive companies like Goldman Sachs and Nutanix offered 32 LPA, and 28 LPA respectively in IIT Gandhinagar. About 80% of students were placed with an average package of 8.96 LPA. The highest package offered was 40 LPA in the year 2019. Companies like ISRO, Accenture, BHEL, IBM offers internship to students of IIT Gandhinagar.

The CSE department of all IITs are well equipped with software, hardware, and Network security labs and imparts quality education. But, judging by the placement statistics, the priority order is IIT Indore CSE > IIT Patna CSE > IIT Ropar CSE >IIT Bhubaneswar CSE >IIT Gandhinagar CSE.

Placement:

The placement details at the institutes are as follows.

All the IITs are of high repute and globally recognized. IIT BHU takes the upper hand when it comes to chemical engineering, which is depicted from their quality research. However, you should choose the institute according to your convenience.

The preference is always given to BITS Goa as it belongs to the most reputed family of BITS institute. One of my friends has studied there and he loves the campus from all aspects.

The major reasons as to why BITS Goa is to be preferred are:

Scope

• CSE has more job opportunities in the market as compared to other branches of engineering. 
• If you even go for a core organization in the chemical field; the highest package is not more than 6 LPA. 
• In the case of CSE, if you are into coding a good package can be cracked.
• The highest package is close to 1.40 crore in BITS Goa. The average also stands at a decent place. 
• The prominent recruiters are - ADM Argo, Adobe, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini, CGI, Cisco, DE Shaw, EXL Services, Razor Pay, Reliance Jio, Freshworks and Goldman Sachs.

Faculty

• The computer science faculty cannot be compared with chemical engineering. 
• CS faculty is amazing having well-equipped knowledge in the field to deal with real competition. They all are efficient in imparting real practical skill set to their students in a proper manner.

Campus

• Goa is a place people look out for holidays, and having a college in Goa makes it even more fascinating and attractive. 
• Certain limitations are also imposed on students. You cannot leave the campus before 5 PM and you should return back by 11 PM. 

BITS Goa makes it a better option on all fronts whether its faculty, campus, or scope. Having this outlook will help you get to a good institute. The stream can be a point of interest but other factors also matter.

Yes, it was confusing once, two years ago and now I can happily confess that I do not regret choosing IIT Gandhinagar over BITS-Pilani. Since I also have friends in both the colleges, I can provide a detailed overview of the good and bad aspects of the colleges.

Also, information on BITS might be limited due to it will depend mostly on other people’s experiences, but the answer will talk about the good and bad side of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar. 

Following are the merits of IIT Gandhinagar:

1. Limited batch- The class consists of 30 students. This makes the interaction simple and competition healthy. The classes are interesting and interactive. And BITS here, has a classroom filled with 100 students. 
2. Friendly professors- All the professors are cooperative. They will always be present to help you. 
3. Constant branch parties/meetings- The Mechanical Branch will always witness regular meetings wherein the latest course will be the topic of discussion and how things can be done to modify it and gather suggestions accordingly. These meetings include Mechanical Engineering students (no freshers) and professors. 
4. New course- In case 10 others from your branch decide to go for an entirely new course which isn't taught in the department- you can always consult the professors and if they can teach that, your will certainly be granted. 
5. Lab facilities- Your lab experiences would be such that you'd work under time-limits. Objectives that will be given to you would have to be completed under a time-limit present along with it. 
6. Inter-disciplinary ideas- Unlike the rest of the colleges, IIT Gandhinagar has neighbours who are from a background of MSE and CSE. While sharing ideas, you get to learn much more than you can imagine.

One thing that students could miss at IIT Gandhinagar is the cultural fests and events. They don't have grand cultural fests of their own. This privilege was taken away by the seniors, which we were trying to rectify. But gratefully, we already have enough, so, that doesn't make us expect too much of these grand fests for ourselves.

• IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Gandhinagar have an average placement percentage of 80%-87%. Students can take admission after qualifying the JEE Advanced/JEE or GATE entrance exams. The highest salary offered at IIT Gandhinagar in 2019 was 40 LPA, whereas that offered to IIT Bhubaneswar students was 43.3 LPA.
