Both EE at IGIT and IT at VSSUT have the same admission process through JEE mains followed by counseling and interview. IGIT has more seats for EE than for IT in VSSUT so maybe getting admissions in IGIT will be easy in comparison to VSSUT. The placement rate is also good for both universities. 

Tabulated below shows the difference between both institutions:

Admission process

• The admission process is the same for both courses. The application process is wholly online. 
• Admissions are based on the marks of JEE Main or OJEE valid rank followed by interviews and counseling. 
• With this students are also required to have at least 45% in 10+2 with required subjects(Physics and mathematics should be primary subjects). 

Placements

IGIT Sarang

• Companies like Ananda, Bhushan Steel, Infosys, Kanbay international, Larsen and Toubro, SATYAM COMPUTERS, TATA Consultancy Services, Visa Steel, etc visit the campus every year in search of good placements. 
• The average salary offered to students is 4 lakhs and the highest salary package is up to 10 lakhs. 

VSSUT Burla

• Companies like Aricent, Ashok Leyland, Bosch Ltd, Cap Gemini, CSC, Cummins, HP, Jindal Steel, Maruti Suzuki, and so on visit campus every year. 
• The average salary offered to students for this course is 3.6 lakhs and the highest package is up to 10 lakhs. 

Infrastructure

IGIT Sarang

• The infrastructure of the college is really good. 
• Classrooms are nice, the library is open to all, medical facilities and equipped labs are also available in college. 
• Teachers are well qualified in their particular fields.

VSSUT Burla

• The infrastructure and facilities of this university are really good. 
• Air-conditioned classrooms, upgraded labs, medical facilities, sports facilities, gym, etc all available on campus. 

Both the universities are good choices for the above courses. Both courses have the same admission process among universities. The placement rate is quite better for IGIT Sarang than VSSUT Burla but if we talk about which one is affordable and has good quality teaching then VSSUT should be the choice.

Both the colleges are equally good and have lived up to their reputation over the years. Both the institutes have NIRF rankings under Rank 60.

Given below is a brief overview of the two institutes.

Comparison:

• The colleges have nearly similar facilities. RV College is slightly ahead as the extra-curricular facilities are more there.
• Most students tend to opt for RV college for their good placement record. 
• RV College has a larger number of clubs than MSRIT, and these clubs popular at the national level. Apart from academics, you will also get a chance to explore the extra-curricular activities of your interest.

One perk of MSRIT is its location which is in the middle of the city, but RV College of Engineering is the best option considering the above factors.

PES University was ranked as the 6th best private university out of 50 universities in India by outlook in 2019. It is also ranked 93 for private engineering by NIRF 2020. The college is recognized by UGC, AICTE, and AACSB. It is one of the top private universities in Bangalore. The high rankings of the college don’t show the poor placements which the college has offered in the past year.

Placements:

• As compared to the previous years, the placements offered at PES University in core companies are fewer in number for the academic year 2019.

• Companies visit the college, but many of the students opting for higher students opt-out for the placements. Making the placement percentage high because of the fewer students present at the placement.

• There were a number of companies that recruited students. But in recent years the placement of the college in the Civil Engineering course has not been up the mark as promised by the college.

However, if you have a keen interest in Civil engineering, then you should not change their branch. Placements are not the only thing that needs to be focused on. Changing the branch will also not make any much difference as both the courses EEE and Civil Engineering provide more or less the same average package that is Rs 3-4 LPA. However, keep in mind that in recent times, there are also other colleges that are not able to fulfill the promised core placements for Civil.

Although Civil Engineering has poor core placements, there are many non-core companies which allow the students of Civil to sit for the placement. The average CTC offered by the non-core IT companies visiting the campus for the placement drive is 10 LPA.

Therefore, a student should keep in mind all the factors when changing a branch and not solely look at placements.

Indian Institute of Technology's (IIT) is among the top Institutions of India. The admissions in all these Institutes are done through national level examinations.

IIIT Hyderabad is considered to be one of the best colleges in the country to pursue computer science and engineering due to the excellent consistency it has obtained with the placement rate and the strong conceptual foundation offered to the students along with an intensive hands-on experience in designing and building prototypes. The college is mostly renowned for the highly consistent placement rate of the CSE branch which is mostly over 90%, and a 100% placement rate of CSE branch was recorded during the 2018-19 academic session with the highest CTC of 46 LPA. Whereas, the median and average CTC offered was respectively, 20 LPA and 8 LPA. The major recruiters were Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, VMware, Walmart, etc.

IIT Madras which has been ranked as the no. 1 engineering college in India many times by NIRF has got some of the most prestigious and dedicated faculty members. They impart in-depth practical and theoretical knowledge through an extensive curriculum that makes the students ready for industry. The college had a 86% placement rate for electrical engineering in the session 2018-19, while the average salary package offered was 12.4 LPA. Top recruiters offering roles of analyst, software engineer, hardware engineer, power engineer are Intel, Goldman Sachs, Adobe, ISRO, American Express, and many more.

Both the courses are vastly different from each other and both institutions are the premier institutions of the country, and it would not do justice to pick one over the other. So choose the institute based on your choice of branch.
