What is a good priority order for CSE among IIT Ropar, IIT Bhubaneswar, and IIT Patna?

IIT Patna should be prioritized over IIT Bhubaneswar and IIT Ropar for CSE. It is because IIT Patna has taken a great leap forward in the domain of coding culture. It provides better research facilities and opportunities for placements in reputed companies. The placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is also quite good, in 2019 there was a 100% placement form CSE. However, there is a considerable shortage of faculty in IIT Bhubaneswar. 

Furthermore, IIT Patna has marked its distinction in ACM ICPC (Olympics of Coding). The institute was successfully able to reach the world finals twice. This clearly illustrates the excellent coding culture at IIT Patna, which is undoubtedly unparalleled. The institute has also performed quite well in Robocon and in various IIT Tech Meets. According to 2019 placement highlights, a total of 50 students got placed from CSE with an average package of 16.76 LPA. Students from the institute have been successful in securing their place in reputed universities like Stanford University, University of New South Wales, University of Tokyo, including other eminent institutes. 

On the other hand, IIT Ropar is new among IITs and its placement statistics are not as good as of the other two colleges. So, the precedence order should be IIT Patna, followed by IIT Bhubaneswar, followed by IIT Ropar. Although the NIRF ranking(for 2019) of IIT Bhubaneswar (ranked at 17) is better than IIT Patna(ranked at 22), the CSE department of IIT Patna is better than that of IIT Bhubaneswar. On the contrary, IIT Ropar lags behind with an overall NIRF ranking of 29.
