According to me, IIT Roorkee and IIT Guwahati are better choices than NIT Trichy. My preference is based on several reasons-
The above points are especially true for IITR and IITG as they are amongst the oldest and most renowned IITs. NIT Trichy is a well-renowned and excellent institution, however, IITR and IITG are better according to me.

Very few positions for UG students are opened by top consulting firms like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain and Company. Most of these openings are filled by the crème students of top IITs like IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. These companies have long-standing associations with these institutes and trust their credibility better than other IITs. They don’t feel the need to expand their non-openings to other IITs as they aren’t sure of the quality of students there.
Also, companies tend to hire high rankers which are in plenty at these top IITs. IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, and IIT KGP rarely have exceptionally high rankers like IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay.
As far as banks and companies that hire for Quant Analyst positions are concerned, the MnC program is slowly attracting good offers. Recently even Goldman Sachs visited and other companies like WorldQuant, and Deutsche Bank are expected to follow.

Artificial Intelligence is a specialization that is expected to be in high demand in the near future and its scope is yet to be determined. I don’t think it’s safe to go for a newly launched field that too from a new IIT. The program and institution both lack the necessary credibility. I would recommend you go for a general branch at a new IIT, a specialization like AI from a well-reputed institute. There are many factors one should consider like faculty, subject content, etc before going for a new specialization.
Mechanical at IIT Guwahati on the other hand is a very safe choice considering the high credibility of the long-standing Institute.
