I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
There are two options available to you. Choose between IIIT Jabalpur and NIT Raipur for CSE.
Why choose NIT Raipur?
NIT Raipur, why not?
Why choose IIIT Jabalpur?
Why not IIIT Jamshedpur?
Without any second thoughts, go for CSE at NIT Jalandhar. Here are some strong points to support my opinion.
Unless you are a nature lover and want a peaceful and serene experience at Hamirpur, it’s better to go to NIT Jalandhar.
NIT hamirpur is ranked 63 by NIRF rankings 2019 that makes it one of the leading technical institutes in India. At NIT Hamirpur, students take up research projects under the highly qualified faculty, some of who are working under government funded projects.

Material science and Engineering have been recently started at NIT Hamirpur. The department already offers an Mtech program. From what I have heard, the faculty profiles are great and the future of this department seems promising. The growth will be steady depending on the funds received.
Material engineers study and optimize material behavior and properties so that they can be designed specifically to suit a unique application. I will suggest you choose this branch only if you are planning to pursue a career in research or higher education. It has less competition as compared to other branches.
Many jobs in PSUs and DRDO etc. are offered to material science students. You can also be admitted to a top university abroad after qualifying for GATE. NIT Hamirpur also has a Material Research Centre and is one of the few of its kind in North India.
Ultimately, it’s up to you whether you want to join an existing established department or a new one.

I will recommend you opt for MIT Manipal instead of NIT Hamirpur. One of my friends recently completed his graduation from MIT Manipal and based on what he shared, it’s the right choice for you. I will enumerate a few reasons why it seems a better option than NIT Hamirpur
No doubt Manipal charges exorbitantly high fees but by the end of your graduation you will feel every penny was after all worth it!
