IIT Gandhinagar CSE is certainly a better option than NIT Trichy CSE. Consider the following points in favor of my stance

IIT Gandhinagar, despite being a new IIT, has made its mark in the IIT family. It stands right after IIT Hyderabad, IIT BHU, and IIT Indore.
IITs being institutes of national importance receive more funding from the Central Government than NITs. This directly means better infrastructure, faculty, and research facilities.
The city Gandhinagar is well developed than Trichy thus it attracts more recruiters and provides better opportunities.
You will get the most coveted IIT tag that even has high global recognition.

IIT Gandhinagar has excellent placement opportunities for the CSE branch the statistics are mentioned below:

Placement Percentage	100%
Offers	32
Highest CTC	INR 62 LPA
Average CTC	INR 23.88 LPA

IIT status enjoyed by IIT Gandhinagar makes it a more preferable option and it is expected to become even better in the upcoming years.
