My brother was in the CSE branch of NIT Trichy and based on his experience, here are a few pointers:
You won’t ever regret choosing NIT CSE.
I would say that pursuing Material Science from IIT Gandhinagar will be a better choice as compared to pursuing Metallurgical Engineering from IIT BHU.
NIT Raipur is a very good college and currently ranks at 67 in NIRF ranking among the top engineering institutes in India. And if you are a good student then maybe you can even get the CS branch as well.
Placements
However, if you want to pursue M.Tech in a good college, study well and sit for GATE instead. The department of Metallurgy is famous at NIT Raipur and can help you in getting good scores.
I would like you to consider certain important things before making your decision-
According to me your college will last for 4 years. However, your branch will become an intrinsic part of your personality and profession. Unless you have an interest in Metallurgy or a good chance at sliding to another branch, choose CSE at NIT Durgapur.
NIT Raipur placements are good for Metallurgical Engineering. Here are the recent placement highlights of the branch.
Parameters | Statistics |
Placement average | 54% |
Salary package | INR 4 LPA - 7 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Visakhapatnam Steel, Tata Steel, etc. |
Students also get placed in non-core companies. Some of the major recruiters from the non-core sector are Morgan Chase, Amazon, Samsung, Wipro, Siemens, Adobe, etc.
IIT Roorkee, NIT Trichy, and NIT Warangal are well-established institutes in India. The scope of metallurgy is comparatively lower than that of CSE. IIT Roorkee mainly concentrates on textual learning and does not give the students exposure to practical learning. They are using the practice of mugging up the lessons without having a clear understanding of the topic. The placement is very poor here; the students from the metallurgy department usually end up in data analytics and coding.
So CSE at NIT Warangal and Trichy would be a better choice.
BIT Sindri has one of the highest placement records of metallurgy in the college. The discussion below will give you an idea about the Metallurgy branch at BIT Sindri.

The required cutoff for metallurgy in BITS is 800 rank in the general category. Therefore, it is a decent option for metallurgy. If you are thinking of joining the BIT Sindri Metallurgy branch, then you must go for it.
IIEST Shibpur is better than BITS Sindri. Academics, placements, exposure, in terms of, all these factors it is well ahead. But you should give more priority to your choice of course while choosing one of these institutes.
Architecture and Metallurgy are two entirely separate branches. According to the recent highlights, BIT Sindri placements for Metallurgy are better. The highest and average CTC for the branch is INR 10.11 LPA and INR 4.76 LPA, respectively.
Metallurgy in BIT SINDRI is one of the best courses offered there. Metallurgy is the most soughed branch students tend to choose. Metallurgy from BIT SINDRI is well known because of the following reasons.

There is a saying among students of the institute i.e. ‘metal is settled’ which means you can definitely get good placement opportunities if you work for it.
IGIT Sarang is one of the best government colleges in Orissa. It is also only one government college of Orissa that is eligible to submit an Institutional Development Proposal. The admission process for Electrical Engineering is based on the results of JEE mains and Orissa-JEE.
Punjab Agriculture University holds #51 rank among universities in India issued by NIRF ranking, 2019. Admission for B. Tech in agriculture is wholly based on the results of JEE mains followed by interviews and counseling. The placement rate is also good for this university.
Tabulated below gives a brief overview of both institutions:

Punjab Agricultural University
Both IGIT SARANG and Punjab agricultural university are equally good for both the courses. Both have good teaching facilities and good infrastructure. The environment of both Institutes is very friendly and engaging. Placements are available. But if we talk about the university in which we can get admission easily then IGIT Sarang is there as about 120 seats are available for this course and if we see the Punjab university then there are only 8 seats available.
