First of all, you should choose the branch wisely as if you are interested in core electronics, you should opt for ECE at Pondicherry but if you are more in physics related stuff you should go for metallurgy at ISM-Dhanbad instead of NIT-Trichy as ISM-Dhanbad is specially built for branches like metallurgy and mining and is doing good. Hope it helps. All the best.

IIT, Dhanbad admits its undergraduate student's through Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced), previously-JEE. Admission into IIT Dhanbad is a two-step process. One needs to qualify JEE Main and then give the JEE Advanced. Admissions are based on the JEE Advanced rank.

First, it depends on your interest level on the Branch. Next, is the duration of course. Are you okay to spend around 5+ years in the same course, and specialization at a stretch? If you are inclined to take up career in IT and Data-Science, Machine learning etc., then better opt for integrated course. ECE will be a bit tough, when compared to IT, and if you are very keen to go for ECE related jobs, then you can opt ECE from ISM. Keeping in view of placement opportunity and coding environment, it would be better if you to go for IIIT integrated course.
