Firstly I would say don't go for ECE branch until you are keenly interested into electronics core subjects, because in my personal experience I have seen 90% electronics graduate settling down in IT industry (may be in India core electronics job are less), so if ultimately you have to be in IT industry go for CSE.

For metallurgical Engineering NIT is the best if we check placements then you will find that NIT is better than IIEST Shibpur. For further studies, the best NIT colleges are NIT Durgapur, NIT Warangal, NIT Rourkela, NIT Jamshedpur, NIT Karnataka, NIT Jaipur. Best of luck for your future.

So basically if you are interested in coding go for CSE at iiit Jabalpur. One of my brothers also did B.Tech from iiit Jabalpur from CSE branches and now he is placed for a package of 18 LPA. And if you are interested in the core side also then go for NIT Jamshedpur and can go for GATE. All the best!
