Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT) and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of MAnagement Studies (MAIMS) is the one which is affiliated to IP University. They have top notch facilities and the students here receive better opportunities and exposure, as they are private institutions. The fees of these two colleges will definitely be higher than usual.

Both USICT and MAIT have an attractive campus. They also provide special USS benefits to the students.
One of my relatives used to be a student of USICT. In spite of being a student of that institute, he holds both institutes in high regard. A lot of students come from distant places and traveling gets time-consuming.
Before you choose your institute, make sure you keep the distance factor in mind because you might very well be spending several hours. This can be detrimental to you and other students who will take pains to reach the institute. Four years is not a short time, after all.
As for placements, you will be allowed to sit in for companies at IP University’s main entrance if you meet the requirements of eligibility and if your aggregate cut-off meets the requirements.
CSE in MAIT will give you a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. The department is also very supportive. The package you will get would be pretty decent if you are not really on the core technical side. Your expertise will determine the package you will be offered. The seniors and faculty will guide you in that regard.

Before choosing a college, you should consider things like - Infrastructure, fee structure, faculty profile, placements, coding culture, the branch of interest, extracurricular activities, distance from home, etc.
All these colleges are affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi. AIT, now known as AIACTR, is a government college while MAIT and BVP are private colleges.
If we compare only private colleges, then the preference order will be as the following.
Here is a comparison between government colleges and private colleges:
Based on what I heard from my friend I will say the preference order should be - MAIT>BVP>AIT.
If you are from the general category, then it is a bit difficult to get MAIT with a 5,160 rank in the spot round. However, you can try for the Mechanical branch in the third round of counseling.
Among MAIT, and BVP the former is the better option when compared in terms of academics, opportunities, and placement records of past years. The placement statistics recorded as per the latest recruitment drive are as follows for both the colleges.

As for which institute will be better for you, you should be the one to decide that.
The point of concern here is your branch preference.

Hope this helps.
My friend from school used to be a student of MAIT and he is of the opinion that the campus and the life it promises are much better than those of BVCOE.
The faculty of MAIT is lenient and the students get ample freedom. However, the same cannot be said for BVCOE. The latter institute also falls short when it comes to the crowd in both institutes.
Speaking of academics, both MAIT and BVCOE are more or less on an equal footing.
Coming to the second shift, now, as far it is concerned, it is suggested to take the timings and the distance between your home and the college into consideration.
My friend chose the first shift because you will be able to get off earlier.
