Each University has its own merits and BITS Pilani is well acclaimed globally and a lot of universities abroad see it as highly popular. Students from BITS are given good opportunities.
Both institutes have a good rate of 96-100% placements and the average package at VIT is about INR 5.4 LPA whereas at BITS it is about INR 11.2 LPA. After this quick overview, I hope you will be able to choose the best college for yourself.
Among the above two options, IIIT Pune is the better choice, without doubt, considering several reasons such as fee structure, overcrowding, and the IIIT tag. One of my friends goes there, so I know a bit about the institute.
The table below gives a brief level of the two institutes.

Key Highlights: (Winning Institute - IIIT Pune)
There are students who have joined VIT, left the institute due to overcrowding, and went to some other institute. Considering all the above factors, IIIT Pune is a definite choice.
The preference order for the given colleges is IIIT Allahabad > BIT Mesra > VIT. In terms of placements, CSE is better than ECE. However, you should prefer the branch you are interested in. If you want to study CSE, BIT Mesra is a great choice. Many core CSE companies take part in campus placement. According to BIT Mesra placement highlights of recent years, the average CTC received by the CSE students is around INR 13 LPA.
Both SVNIT and VIT are very good engineering colleges and both of them have their own advantages.
The placements of VIT are very good as it is a very popular college and all the top companies visit the campus for placements. You can easily secure a job if you possess the right skills and you prepare yourself well for the interview and be confident enough.
Here is a brief overview of the recent placement highlight at these institutes.

Hence, VIT is a very good college where you will find the right exposure to showcase your skills and many opportunities for a bright future ahead.
When placements are concerned, the better opportunities are secured by the student’s overall performance and rather than the college. But if I have to choose one among them, then I’d say Thapar receives better placement offers than VIT.
Category | Thapar University | VIT |
Total Fee | INR 66,000 | INR 1,73,000 |
Companies Visited | Wipro, Adobe, Infosys, Bosch, etc. | Wipro, Intel, TCS, Tech Mahindra, etc. |
Highest Package | 25 LPA | 26 LPA |
Average Package | 14 LPA | 15 LPA |
The biggest factor is that a lot of companies visit Thapar and so it is easier to get a placement there. The placements are better in Thapar. But do remember that the placements completely depend on you and not the college. A lot of companies visit the college for placements but it is up to you the kind of effort that you wish to put in that will land you a job.
If you think that you can work under technical giants later in years of study, then you should go for VIT. However, if you want to pursue your field of interest, and choose a likewise job scenario, then undoubtedly, you should enroll in IIIT Guwahati.
There are various differences between both the institutes for B.Tech ECE. Let’s walk through most of them:

But if you are studious and are planning to stay in your college for 4 years, the location of your college does not matter.

If you compare the quality of education that is provided in both UIET and VIT, you can determine this easily by talking to the students who are studying as they have real-life experience of the campus. But the fee structure of UIET is comparatively lower than that of VIT as the college comes under a center-funded state university.
CSE in IIIT Dharwad is a better option to opt for. As of now, they don't have a permanent campus but they will have their campus soon. See, there are pros and cons of every college/institute. Somewhere you might find one thing and another might be equipped with another better thing. IIIT Dharwad also has some pros and cons.

So, now you know about both the institutes very well, so choose wisely. All the best!
First of all, don’t trust the official figures regarding rankings for colleges. They are misleading and are meant for advertisement purposes only. No good college needs to show itself at the top of the rankings.
Now comparing VIT and Anna University, Anna University is definitely better in the ranking than VIT. Its CEG branch is at another level and not on par with VIT at all. Some points that support this opinion are:
Student quality at Anna University is better than at VIT.
VIT is a private university therefore more expensive than AU
The curriculum is harder in AU than in VIT, but the assessments are direct and easy here.
Placement opportunities are better at AU because of the variety of companies that visit the campus in contrast to the mass IT recruits that happen in VIT.
All these points strongly favor my opinion. One thing to keep in mind here is that when I say Anna University is better I mean the main campuses (CEG, MIT, ACT) not the affiliated colleges.
