Here are some details about both these colleges-
VSSUT holds a strong reputation in Orissa, but CET isn’t that popular. One reason being that there are plenty of Engineering institutes in Bhubaneswar. VSSUT offers better placement prospects than CET. Even though CET receives more companies due to its favorable location, VSSUT receives more job offers.
VSSUT is quite old, and has a rich legacy. CET is also old, but comparatively new. The location of CET allows easy access to coaching centers, and offers more facilities for extracurriculars.
Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose between the two based on your preferences and goals.
CET Bhubaneswar has recently released the placement details according to which a total of 649 job offers were made to 474 students. The highest package offered to graduates stood at INR 44.80 LPA whereas the average package stood at INR 5.85 LPA. The lowest package offered was INR 3 LPA. The Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering students bagged the highest number of offers during CET BBSR placements 2023.
VSSUT Burla has not released this year's placement statistics yet so I will be mentioning last year’s for reference. During the placement drive, 773 students received 750 job offers. The company that offered the maximum job offers was GenC followed by Wipro (75) and Infosys (60). The highest package was recorded at INR 17.34 LPA while the VSSUT Burla average package stood at INR 6.05 LPA.
Hope this helps you!
In my opinion, choosing a lower branch at NIT Rourkela is better than choosing a good branch at CET BBSR. Whenever choosing a college, always give preference to the institute over the branch. This is because choosing a bad institute can limit your experience no matter how good the branch is. The poor faculty, infrastructure, and opportunities will affect your academics, and the ‘good branch’ will not come to your rescue.
On the contrary, an average branch but a good institute will provide more scope in terms of exposure and academics. The right guidance from an experienced faculty will provide opportunities even in a low branch. Moreover, one can never be certain of the right branch for themselves as they have limited knowledge of the courses taught.
So, it's wise to choose a lower branch at NIT Rourkela than to go for a better branch at CET BBSR.

These are just a few parameters for comparing the two. Both VSSUT and CET (OUTR) are renowned institutions. You must choose between the two based on your personal preferences.
VSSUT and CET are both autonomous universities. Here are some insights on pursuing B.Tech IT at these two-
VSSUT is much older. This makes it a bigger brand. But in terms of location, CET is a clear winner. VSSUT is located in the small town of Burla.
Burla has no direct air connectivity, and the fastest mode of transport is a 6 hour train journey from Bhubaneswar. Thus, top recruiters hesitate to visit the campus for placements. But the placement stats are good. The students miss out on competitive events and internship opportunities because of the distance from Bhubaneswar.
CET is the only government institute in Bhubaneswar other than IIIT. More recruiters visit its campus during placement season. Samsung, Dell and Toshiba are some of the top companies that visit the CET campus.
In terms of academics, VSSUT offers a flexible curriculum. This allows IT students to opt for a few advanced subjects. CET on the other hand, has a rigid course curriculum. In any case, make sure to polish your coding skills for a successful career in IT.
To conclude, pursue your B.Tech IT from the institution that best suits your personal preferences.

Depending on these factors, choose wisely among these three for your Engineering studies.
VSSUT might be the best govt college, but CET is equally good. The only reason VSSUT has a better reputation is because of its rich legacy. There are some other minor aspects in which VSSUT and better than CET Bhubaneswar
Overall, VSSUT grooms you better as a person although both colleges have a long way to go before they can be even called good institutions by Indian standards.

To know which is better Electrical Engineering at VSSUT or CET Burla, you need to go through the pros of both institutes
Pros of CET
Pros of VSSUT
The pros of VSSUT overshadowed the pros of CET making the former a better choice.
Both CET and VSSUT offer equally good quality education. The teaching scenario is similar and students have to usually depend on self-study. The curriculum is outdated and faculties have the least interest in imparting knowledge apart from regular coursework.
Core placements, however, are better at VSSUT than CET. This is because VSSUT is at least 25 years older than CET and has an elaborate alumni network across many top companies. However, overall both institutes have pretty good placement scenarios.
CET however is better in terms of co-curricular activities, availability of coaching, connectivity with the rest of the state and country, and quality of living. CET students have a record of performing well in competitive exams like GATE, CAT, ESE, UPSC CSE, etc over the years. It’s also better in terms of infrastructure.
Overall, there isn’t much of a difference in terms of college life as the quality of your peers will almost be the same.
