For a branch like CSE, choosing between IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Trichy is a bit tricky. Both offer good placements and are equally good colleges. But if you want an IIT tag (which does hold more weight than an NIT tag), you should go for IIT Bhubaneswar.

If you want to pursue your higher studies abroad, go for an IIT tag blindly because the IIT brand is well-recognized abroad. So, consider what you wish to do after your graduation and make your decision accordingly.

But, in general, as NIT Trichy is older than IIT Bhubaneswar, you should choose based on the branch that you get at each. If you get CSE/EE at NIT Trichy and another branch at IIT Bhubaneswar that will not get you as good a package, go for NIT Trichy.

These are the placement figures for IIT Bhubaneswar and NIT Trichy-

Placement Statistics	NIT Trichy (2022)
No. of companies visited	43
Total number of students placed	81+
Highest Package	INR 40 LPA
Top Recruiters	HCL, Godrej, Wipro, Google, Adani

Placement Statistics	IIT Bhubaneswar (2023)	IIT Bhubaneswar (2022)
Highest Package	INR 55.75 LPA	INR 44.1P LPA
Average Package	INR 17.68 LPA	INR 18.95 LPA
Top Recruiters	Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart	Amazon, BYJU’s, Gojek, Unacademy, Mathworks, Goldman Sachs

Some people do consider NIT Trichy as a superior option because it is older while IIT Bhubaneswar is a newer IIT. IIT Bhubaneswar is at the 47th rank while NIT Trichy is at the 9th rank in the NIRF India Rankings 2023: Engineering.

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar (2018)

My friends have studied at IIT Bhubaneswar as well as at NIT Trichy, so based on their experience, both the mentioned Institutes are acknowledged. Apparently, IIT Bhubaneswar has been doing good for the past two years in almost every aspect be it the faculty recruitment, the placement cells, the laboratory facilities and facilities, and academics, etc.

Whereas on the other hand NIT Trichy holds its own unique reputation as far as the companies are concerned that visits the campus. Given that NIT Trichy has a strong aluminum base that makes it one of the top reputed institutes. Still, there are few differences among both the brands being one NIT and the other IIT.

Categories	NIT Trichy	IIT Bhubaneswar
Course Fee	5.65 lakhs	8.52 - 10.63 lakhs
Placement Percentage	80-90%	90%
Highest CTC	28 LPA	32 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	10.2 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Deloitte, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, etc.	Accenture, Capgemini, TCS, IBM, etc.

So, if you're really concerned about the brand, the choice can be obvious. However, rather than make it a generalized one, you could focus on your interests if you have any in a specific branch and jot down the options accordingly.
