If you plan to change to CS, it is quite difficult to shift from EE to CS at IIT Hyderabad. It is easier for other branches to change to CS.
Mechanical and Chemical students get CS during branch change, but the chances are less for Electrical students. This is the experience of one of my friends at IIT Hyderabad.
CS at IIT Hyderabad is better than CS at other new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is one of the best among the new IITs. IIT Hyderabad is showing tremendous growth.

Both the institutions are well-renowned and you should choose among them after thoroughly comparing the two different streams offered at both. In terms of opportunities, CS is better and you should consider CS at IIT Bhubaneswar.
It is up to your interest which domain you want to go in. But If you were comparing both on just placement perspective, CSE offers much higher packages from companies compared to other branches.
If most of these factors are considered, ECE in IIT Bhubaneswar seems to be the better choice.
