I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes

Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.
This answer can be answered in 2 aspects; branch wise and Institute wise.
Branch-wise, ECE is way ahead of Manufacturing Science and Engineering and has a wider scope after graduation. ECE students are hired by both electronics and software companies. Moreover, ECE is a major stream whereas Manufacturing is just a sub-stream under Mechanical Engineering.
Specifically talking about colleges only, I would suggest you choose IIT KGP which has a stronger brand name and legacy than BITS Pilani Hyderabad. Its reputation is not just limited to India and has great scope outside India as well. It gets better and more companies than BITS during campus placements.
One major point of difference is the location of both institutes. Hyderabad has a much superior location than IIT Kharagpur thus offering better college life and exposure. IIT KGP is remotely located and lacks the necessary industry touch and exposure.
You have to travel long distances just to eat or do shopping. You will miss out on city life and the opportunities it has to offer. While the campus is great, you have to stay inside as the world outside is desolate. Spending 4 years without much exposure might limit your opportunities.
Hyderabad on the other hand has everything city life has to offer apart from being a major IT hub. This makes it possible to apply for campus jobs as well which is not possible in the case of IIT KGP.
In the end, it’s you who has to make a decision. Go where your heart is inclined the most be it ECE or Manufacturing at IIT or BITS. Just make sure to make a decision that will not make you regret it later.
Let’s do a comprehensive comparison of IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and NIT Warangal (as my knowledge is limited to these 3 only)
IIT Hyderabad
NIT Warangal
IIIT Hyderabad: It’s considered a good option for computer science students.
BITS Hyderabad: It is also a decent institute with students enjoying good opportunities and freedom.
CBIT: It is one of the best private institutes in AP and Telangana. However, it cannot be compared to NIT Warangal or others, as the exposure and opportunities of NIT are way better.
In my opinion, the ultimate preference order should be,
IIT Hyderabad> IIIT H>=BITs H>= NIT W>CBIT
No, except the Mechanical Engineering branch of MIT Manipal, it cannot be compared to one of the best private engineering colleges, BITS.
MIT Manipal may have better infrastructure than BITS Goa and Hyderabad but fails to give an edge in other aspects such as placements, coding culture, campus life, club culture, and brand name.
So it can be safely concluded that Manipal is improving, but it is yet to reach the level of BITS.
Between NIT Calicut and BITS Hyderabad, the latter is the better option irrespective of the branch you are getting. Here are a few points of difference between the two institutes.
In my opinion, BITS Hyderabad should be your preference provided that you have no monetary issues.
BITS Hyderabad, which is affiliated under BITS Pilani, ranked 30th by NIRF amongst top engineering colleges in India, is very well renowned for computer science. While IIT Tirupati was recently established and hasn’t been ranked yet by NIRF.

Placement
BITS Hyderabad
It has an average placement rate of 94% for computer science. Top recruiters are Aditya Birla Group, Microsoft, Adobe, BeeHyv, Amazon, etc. Other notable features are:
IIT Tirupati
It is relatively new, hence much detailed placement data is not yet available. Major recruiters are Envestnet Yodlee, Bosch, TCS, Honeywell, etc.
Both BITS and IITs have a brand value but Tirupati being a new institute, is yet to make its mark. Faculties at both the colleges are highly qualified. Computer science is the most sought-after skill in the present industry and hence if one works hard, he/she can excel.
NIT Warangal and BITS Hyderabad are renowned institutes in India. But BITS Hyderabad is leading due to some reasons, which are listed below
Internship – BITS Hyderabad provides a six months internship program right after the degree program. This experience is beneficial for getting a full-time job
Dual Placement – The core companies visit the college twice a year so the students can sit for the interview two times
Early Graduation – The degree program can be completed six months early, or you can take a break for six months and complete the degree on time.
Coding Culture – BITS Hyderabad has a highly competitive culture in ICPC. The trend toward open-source development increased GSOC selections.
Peer Group – This institute does not have reservations, so you will have a healthy peer group
Minor Degrees – You can also pursue other minor degree courses like data science, finance, robotics, etc., which adds an edge to your inclinations.
Overall, BITS Hyderabad is a better choice than NIT Warangal.
The Department of Metallurgy and Material Sciences was established in 2012; you won’t regret choosing this institute as you will have the advantage of the brand name IIT. Most companies prefer IIT students, and it is also beneficial if you are planning to attend competitive entrance exams like the CAT, GMAT, and so on.

It is good for academics, placement support, and a rich alumni network. The opportunity for a master’s in Physics is comparatively higher than in metallurgy and material sciences, but you won’t get the brand tag of IIT here.

It’s highly illogical to measure IIT Hyderabad, the fastest-growing new IIT with a private institute BITS.
I feel IIT Hyderabad is the better option for CS in comparison to BITS Hyderabad.
As a student of BITS Hyderabad, I can assure you that such claims are baseless and untrue.
Around 80% of the crowd at our college consists of students who have cleared JEE Advanced, and 60% ranked within 10k.
Moreover, the students of BITS Hyderabad perform extremely well in studies and extracurriculars. The students shine in various programs and competitions like - SpaceX Hyperloop, GSoC, Topcoder, SAE BAJA, CANSAT, SA Cup, etc.
The campus has a rich tech and research culture, and the placement stats are getting better with each year. You can become a part of international clubs like SEDS and SAE, and other clubs like CRUX, ADASTRA and ARC.
Thus, you can consider BITS Hyderabad for your B.E. CS without any hesitation.
