The following table gives a brief overview of these two institutes

IIEST is a more research-driven college like IISER, and 4 years Engineering Degree does not procure from this institute. Thereby, it is completely meaningless to go for 5 years course despite being interested in doing a Ph.D. in later years. 

Fees at IIEST are more, as it offers one-year extra study. Most importantly, IIEST cannot be an IIT, as there is already one IIT (Kharagpur IIT) in the state, and Modi Government already declared that there would be only IIT in one state. Besides, Jadavpur is considered a competitor if there is a chance to set up another IIT in the state.

Considering the above facts, the recommendation should be given for NIT Jamshedpur as it the best alternatives.
