Colleges in Orissa

Civil is more of a core branch while design is not. It completely depends on your interests as to decide where you should go. Institutes do matter but branch matters a lot more.
Quality of teaching: I can tell you that civil department professors at IIT-Bhubaneswar are quite good. Although I don't know much about the professors at IIT-Guwahati but still, IIT-Guwahati being older will be equally good if not better.
Campus life: IIT-Guwahati has a much better campus life than IIT-Bhubaneswar, so there will be much better exposure. But newer IITs are improving at a fast rate. There will be fewer students in IIT-Bhubaneswar compared to IIT-Guwahati so there are better opportunities for an individual to actively participate in extra academics activities like societies and fests. Although sports facilities at IIT Guwahati are much better than IIT-Bhubaneswar.
Placements: IIT-Guwahati design will be mostly offering non-core placements while at IIT-Bhubaneswar you have a much better chance to get core placements (this year more than 70 percent students got core placements). So, if you have more interest in the technical stuff then I would suggest IIT-Bhubaneswar civil as a better choice over IIT-Guwahati design. The average package for IIT-Guwahati design will be greater than IIT-Bhubaneswar's civil branch.

Well, it varies every year, as said in the previous answers, it was good in the year 2011,12,13 but 14 was the worst. Again 15 and 16 batches got around 80.85% placement. I belong to the 32nd batch (2017). In our batch placement again fell. Till now, it's only around 50%. The major recruiters like TCS hired only 76 students which used to be above 150 followed by Tech-Mahindra who took 24, and many of the CSE and ETC students recruited by other small IT companies. As far as core sector is concerned, it's Vendat Alumina, Jharsuguda that took 18 students and Bhushan Power and Steel, Sambalpur who took 39 students. JK Papers and Praxair recruited students only from the chemical branch. The number was around 78 in total for the two company. The avg. package was for TCS: 3.2 LPA, TM: 3 LPA, Vedant: 5.5 LPA, Bhushan: 2.8 LPA and Praxair: 4.8LPA. That's it for 2017.
