There are not many differences between the institutes. You can prefer MNIT, Jaipur only if the location is advantageous on your side. The difference, however, is not exactly a lot.
Placements:
The average placement in Jaipur has been better for several years now. However, if you have the will to work, with relevant education, then the opportunities and offers provided by either of these institutes are the same. Various top companies recruit almost the same number of students from both of these institutes.
For instance, in 2019, 11 students were recruited by Microsoft from NIT Durgapur with a package of 39 LPA each. 4 other students were recruited by Amazon with 20 LPA and above. There are several others too.
Here is the placement reports of the year 2020 for both the institutes,

Thus, there are somewhat the same opportunities in both. Google and Facebook have also visited the campus to recruit students previously. DE SHAW, Samsung, R & D, Directi, Goldman Sachs are other top-tier companies that visit the campus timely.
In the case of the brand name and as an overall institute, MNIT Jaipur is considered better than NIT Durgapur.
MNIT is better in terms of infrastructure when compared to NIT Durgapur. Although, there are major upgrades and infra-development occurring in NIT Durgapur, yet it will still take about 3 to 5 years more.
You should prefer IT at IIIT Allahabad. It has a great IT culture. You will have unlimited opportunities to develop skills in coding, app development, web development, game development, etc. The course structure includes core IT subjects from the first year itself. The coding culture on campus is excellent. Students of IIIT Allahabad dominate popular coding forums such as ACM-ICPC, Codechef, and Spoj.
The recent highlights of IIIT Allahabad show the average and highest CTC to be INR 21.85 LPA and INR 61.65 LPA.
All the mentioned NITs are among the top engineering institutes in the country. Out of all the NITs in India, the best choice is NIT Rourkela. As some of my friends studied there I might be able to give you some reasons. These are:
The fee and chemical branch placement details are as follows.
Categories | Chemical at NIT Rourkela |
Fee | INR 8.22 Lakhs |
Minimum Package | INR 3.6 LPA |
Average Package | INR 6.58 LPA |
Highest Package | INR 22 LPA |
The top recruiters include L&T, Reliance, Tata, P&G, Parle, ACC Cement, Aditya Birla, IOCL, PGCIL, NTPC, GMR Energy, GlaxoSmithKline, and more.
Overall, NIT Rourkela is an excellent choice. After CSE and EC branches, the Chemical branch recorded the highest placements. The return on investment of college is decent. But you should opt for it only if you can deal with and function under strict regulations and laws.
Hostel and campus life are subjective things that will vary between individuals; there is no metric to comparatively quantify the same. I can give you some idea about the hostel and campus life at MNIT Jaipur and MNNIT Allahabad based on what I heard from my friends at the institutes.
Comparison:
Based on what I heard from my friends at these two institutions, it seems that MNIT Jaipur offers a better hostel and campus life.
When choosing between several institutes, there are various things that you need to factor in before arriving at any possible conclusion. The first thing you need to decide is what matters to you most: branch or institute. If you have a specific branch in mind, you can definitely choose either of these two institutes. You can rest assured about placement as both of these two offer good placement to the students.
Whereas, if you are more inclined towards choosing a better institute, irrespective of the branch, you can choose MNNIT.
However, according to various reviews, the most preferred order for these choices among students are as follows.
Further, CSE and IT offer almost the same opportunities, and points 2 and 3 are interchangeable at times.
To draw a comparison between CS at NIT Jalandhar and EE at MNIT Jaipur, let’s discuss the various factors below:
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of MNIT is slightly better than that of NIT Jalandhar. MNITs campus has the largest lecture theater complex in the whole of Asia. NIT's campus is away from the main city but it is also beautiful with a soothing ambiance.
Placement: Because of its location NIT Jalandhar faces a few drawbacks in the case of placements.
The conclusion is as follows:
If you prefer a future in the private sector, NIT is better for you. But if you are interested in Electrical MNIT is a good option.
If you are a coding freak, then CS at NIT Jalandhar is a better option.
If you want a job in Civil Services, then EE at MNIT is better than CSE at NIT Jalandhar.
If you want a better college and campus life then MNIT is a better option.
So CS at any college is a good choice but most importantly what matters is what you want to pursue actually.
I personally believe that the upcoming future will be a more tech-savvy and digital world. So, going for CSE/IT is an evergreen choice. And is better than metallurgy engineering.
If there is no particular interest and just want a decent job in the future then choose CSE at IIIT Vadodara.
However, on the other hand, IIIT Kota is facing too many issues from faculties.
Hence if you are getting IIIT Kota CSE then you might also be getting some other good NITs and IIITs prefer them, else you will regret it if you are willing to achieve something bigger in life.
It depends on what it is that you want as both are different subjects. It depends on your preference. According to my cousin who studied CSE at MNIT, if you want a challenging job and you are aiming for PSUs, then mechanical engineering may be good. But the placements of mechanical even in top colleges like IITs will be lower than their CSE counterparts.

Mechanical engineering is going to be tougher even at IITs to secure a job. However, with some struggle, hard work, and years of experience, you may land a PSU job. However, CSE is not easy but getting an initial start to your career is easier in this branch with a good starting salary.
Pick the one which suits you better according to your career choice and the career progression you want after some years.
The answer highly depends on your preference. If you are aspiring to be a good programmer, you should think of going to IIIT Allahabad. The curriculum is based on a coding point of view as compared to the other colleges you have mentioned.

But, it is suggested that you go for DTU CSE as many friends of mine have been able to improve quite well as far as their skill set is concerned in their fields of interest. They also received good jobs in reputed MNCs.
One of my friends graduated from IIIT Allahabad and he completed his CSE from the institute. He joined IIIT Allahabad on the recommendations of some of his professors from school.
In his opinion, IIIT Allahabad lives up to its reputation and is a very good place for placements. In addition to that, the institute is also popular for its coding culture, the network of alumni, research, etc.
As far as reputation goes, NIT Jaipur is also a renowned institute in terms of the points mentioned above but despite that, it falls behind IIIT Allahabad. The latter is famous for having very good information technology (IT). Both NIT Jaipur and IIIT Allahabad have more or less a good record of placements and infrastructure.
However, if you want to make something of yourself in the field of IT, then you cannot go wrong with IIIT Allahabad.
