I am a third-year BTech student at IIT Bombay. According to me, IIT Bombay electrical is a better choice than IIT Delhi CS. Both the institutes are highly reputed for their engineering programs, and they keep switching places in the NIRF Ranking with the change of year.
But the placements at IIT Bombay are better statistically. Moreover, IIT Bombay is located in the Financial Capital of India, with easier access to IT cities like Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Here is a comparison between IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi :

Based on the above stated reasons, I would recommend you choose IIT Bombay Electrical over IIT Delhi CS.
Comparing IIT Bombay’s Electrical with IIT Delhi's CS is like comparing the two best things preferred by different people. No department is better than the other because the sole purpose of the department is to cater to the needs of people with different inclinations.
With all honesty, both courses have their unique aspects. The courses and the job prospects of both the branches are different yet excellent. An electrical engineer works with top-notch technologies like microprocessors or communication systems while a Computer Engineer is talented in using computers in fascinating ways.
Institute-wise, both IITs are excellent and no college is better than the other. Both institutes are the best ones that could go for and are the most coveted among Engineering aspirants. The opportunities, education, and placements offered by these 2 IITs are second to none. You won’t regret choosing one over the other.
With the two best choices at hand, go for the one that solely matches your preferences and doesn’t be driven by society's standards.
