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.
According to my brother’s opinion, you should always opt for a college that is famous for a particular domain that you want to get into. As we all know that IIIT Allahabad for IT and BIT Mesra for CS are well-known colleges.
IIIT Allahabad would be best even if you are a computer enthusiast or want to pursue that particular field. Since there is a coding culture at IIIT Allahabad, this can prepare you for the same in a better manner.
Being industry-oriented IIIT Allahabad has the potential of providing hands-on experience to you that can make you a master in your coding skills as the field demands.
The placements offered by IIIT Allahabad are very attractive. According to the recent statistics recorded in 2020, 96% of the students got placed in the respectful companies.

If you are truly interested in production engineering, it's better to opt BIT Mesra rather than NIT Agartala as BIT leads in every single aspect over NITA.
My friends and I, being a part of BIT Mesra, know very well that their CSE department compared to IT at NIT Allahabad is much better. BIT is considered among the top colleges in India.
The main reason for choosing BIT Mesra over NIT Allahabad is their amazing records in placement. In the year 2020 BT Mesra has seen the participation of a total of 141 companies. One of them offered the highest salary package of 40.63 LPA. In the year 2019 more than 859 students secured job offers from the placement drive.

The Integrated MSc program at BIT Mesra is a rigorous and demanding course of study. It requires a strong commitment to hard work and dedication to succeed. However, for those who are passionate about science and research, it can be a highly rewarding and fulfilling experience.
One of my friends was enrolled in this institute. She chose to study Chemical at BIT Mesra over ECE at IEM.

The only upper hand that IEM enjoys is the scores of CGPA a student obtains. That means, acquiring the best CGPA at IEM is quite a lot easier than what is at BIT. The second point of difference between the two of them is that IEM, when considered its location, is situated in Salt Lake, Kolkata, and is much better developed than Mesra, which in total is 16 KMs from Ranchi. These are the only points of difference as known.
Things to carry to BIT Mesra hostel as a freshman are as follows.
This was in the year 2014 when my cousin was a student there. Things might have changed for the better now.
To some extent, yes, the placements of BIT extension campuses centralized at BIT Mesra. BIT extension campus students are permitted to sit only for a limited number of companies; recruiters such as Cognizant, TCS, Infosys, to name a few. Other big firms like Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Caterpillar tend to interview only the top 5 students (top CGPA holders) from the concerned branch in each campus are allowed.
Apart from this, extension centers are free to invite recruiting companies to their respective campuses for placement drives. For instance, in the past, MU Sigma and Tata Motors conducted a pooled placement for BIT Patna, IIT Patna, NIT Patna.
If you are someone who is successful in attaining a 9 pointer throughout your course duration, you have made impressive and exciting projects and conducted research for the same, you certainly stand a good enough chance to be equivalent to all other students at Mesra when it comes to your placement.
The preference order for the given colleges is IIIT Allahabad > BIT Mesra > VIT. In terms of placements, CSE is better than ECE. However, you should prefer the branch you are interested in. If you want to study CSE, BIT Mesra is a great choice. Many core CSE companies take part in campus placement. According to BIT Mesra placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC received by the CSE students is around INR 13 LPA.
When I asked a senior of mine the same question, she told me to exclude NIT Raipur. The reason is, NIT Raipur is one of the newer institutes and to be considered worthy, the institute has to improve a lot.
The other two institutes, however, would be a tough call.
My senior said BIT Mesra is slightly ahead of NIT Hamirpur just because the former has been around for much longer than the latter.
Despite all that, NIT Hamirpur is located in pleasant surroundings. In addition to that, it will also give you the NIT tag and is an INI. So, in the case of comparison by merit, it all depends on who has the higher cut-off in a particular session.
NIT Hamirpur is also a new NIT and it is improving with each day. On the other hand, the quality of education, placements in the electrical branch of NIT Raipur are going down with each passing day.
