I am assuming that you have no specific branch preferences and are just confused between the institutes. In that case, the factors affecting your decision are campus life, facilities, infrastructure, and placements. Consider the table below

Particulars	IIT Jodhpur EE	NIT Kurukshetra CSE
Students Registered	72	92
Students placed	68	92
Placement Percentage	94.44%	100%
Highest CTC	INR 51 LPA	-
Average CTC	INR 22 LPA	INR 19.81 LPA
Median CTC	INR 17 LPA	INR 16.65 LPA

Considering everything, IIT Jodhpur is definitely better than NIT Kurukshetra. You will get associated with the much coveted IIT tag and also will have a diverse peer pool. The institute attracts the best crowd and you will be surrounded by some of the finest minds of the country.

The intense competition will challenge your inner self and you will become the best version of yourself. The campus life here is very vibrant and the facilities are great too.

The two things that help you choose between new IITs and old NITs (or top NITs) are the Tag Value and the Experience.

Better Choice

If you like to have a tag of IIT, then choosing IIT Jodhpur is a better option. But if you are comfortable with a good branch in top NITs, then NIT KKR is a better option for the long run, even though you have the option of IIT in your hand.
The reason for choosing old NIT over new IIT is that the old NIT will have a well-established alumni base. Even the professors are skilled.

Features of the institutes

The placements of NIT KKR for CSE are excellent. The highest package of INR 43.31 LPA in NIT KKR went for CSE branch. Even the placement percentage are:

Institute	Branch	Percentage	Fees
NIT KKR	CSE	100%	INR 2.27 Lakhs
IIT Jodhpur	Electrical	84%	INR 2.82 Lakhs

Overall, the choice depends upon the above-mentioned factors and the branch in which you are interested. In NIT KKR, there is a competitive environment in terms of study. CSE branch is the best to be pursued from NIT Kurukshetra.
