ECE is in any way superior to Civil Engineering. NIT Trichy is also a really good institute, so don't just go for the IIT tag. Taking Civil in a new IIT (or even in an older IIT) will limit your options, in terms of location or something else.
You might not get as many opportunities as you might get for ECE, given that the packages offered for ECE branches are comparatively always better.
