I am a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. Both IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee are top engineering colleges, so the choice should be based on which stream would be the best for you.

Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee and Production and Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi-

Parameter	Mechanical at IITR	Production & Industrial Engg. at IITD
Scope of Study	Design, Manufacturing,Thermal Sciences, and more.	Production Systems, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and Industrial Engineering Principles.
NIRF Engineering Ranking 2024	6	2
Median Package	INR 17 LPA	INR 20.50 LPA
Recruiting Companies on campus	Accenture, Adobe, CITI Bank, Facebook, Honda Cars, IBM,Oracle, PayPal, TATA, and others.	Google, Microsoft, ICICI Bank, Anheuser-Busch Inbev, JP Morgan, Case and Corporation, and others.
Level of Difficulty	More Difficult and Time Consuming	Comparatively Easier. Will spare you time for coding and hobbies.

If Mechanical Engineering interests you, I would suggest you choose IIT Roorkee. It is a great institution, and you'll get plenty of learning on campus.

The choice of the Institute as well as the branch is specifically based on your inclinations and only you can make the wisest decision. However, some points that will assist you in making an informed decision are

IIT Delhi is a winner when it comes to an urban location with a lot of exposure and opportunities outside of campus
Production and Industrial Engineering is a much lighter program in comparison to Mechanical Engineering and will spare you time and energy for pursuing other hobbies or interests or inculcating new coding skills
IIT Delhi is the best choice for future entrepreneurs as it helps in incubating ideas and Delhi itself is a hub of startups

However, if you are inclined to Mechanical, then choosing production is not wise. Ultimately, more than the branch and institute, what matters is how well you manage your time and learn additional skills.
