Well, both the colleges hold their own places in English Honors at the Undergraduate level. But, this is the tough one as you won’t really get a definite answer. Jadavpur students will claim their institute is better and so will the Presidency students.
Moreover, both the universities are undoubtedly the best for any stream in Humanities. I know people from both the institutes and based on the interactions I had with them I will suggest you go for JU. It will offer you better exposure, academics, faculty, ambiance. JU’s entrance examination is also more competitive.
Few of my friends appeared for both the exams. And only the best managed to get into JU. While quite a few cracked Presidency University. As Presidency University looks at your current skills, on the other hand, Jadavhpur wants you to not only focus on writers’ current and past but also on different aspects like theatre as well.
Both, REVA University and Presidency University are new. However, on an overall scale, the former is better.
REVA has more than 100 student clubs and organizations. You can take part in any of these clubs, according to your interest.
Students often feel that the placements are often exaggerated in AU. If you are from CSE, ECE, or IST, you will have more chances at reputed firms such as Infosys, Wipro, TCS, FTD, IBM, Accenture, etc with packages ranging from INR 3-10 LPA. More than 75% of students get placed in campus hiring at the end of their graduation.
But if you are from any core branch-like chemical, mechanical, marine, etc, then you will be called for interview by some software companies offering packages less than INR 4 LPA. There are only a few chances for core placements and on average, you will be offered placement in between INR 3–6LPA.
The core companies visiting for recruitment from chemical engineering are AUROBINDO, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, GVK BIO, Deccan Companies, etc and all together they will recruit less than 20 students.
KGMU has always been a very attractive option for medical aspirants.
It has a good infrastructure and reputation. It is considered as the best medical college in UP. I don’t have much idea about AIIMS Jodhpur, but it is considered the best after Delhi. Personally though, I consider AIIMS Rishikesh a better choice due to its pleasant location.
Recently, the UP government has passed a compulsory bond for UGs and PGs. It is a compulsory 2 years rural posting bond. This is a huge drawback in choosing KGMU Lucknow. The rural posting will be a difficult time, and you won’t learn much from it. There are safety concerns as well.
For your MBBS, you should choose between the two based on personal preference. But I would recommend you go for AIIMS Jodhpur.
Both CMC Ludhiana and KMC Manipal are prestigious institutes well-known for their excellence in the medical field. However, you might want to consider the following points of differences while choosing one of these colleges
Overall, I feel both the colleges are unique in their own way and you won't regret joining either of these colleges.
Many companies visit the CSE branch every year with a decent salary package. Only a limited number of core companies approach students from the EE and EC branches. The placement support at BM and BT is relatively poor at NIT Rourkela.

NIT Rourkela started branch change facility from academic year 2017-2018. For a branch change, your first year CGPA and seat availability in the desired course will be considered. However, to answer you precisely, it is not easy to get a branch change, that too into CSE. Top scorers at NIT Rourkela are able to achieve this feat.
The main obstacle is that students acquire a laid back attitude after getting an admission into an NIT or IIT. Even if you work 1/10th as hard as you did during your JEE preparation, you will get a good CGPA and your chances for a branch change will be high. For this, you will have to work hard instead of blaming the faculty, syllabus or hectic schedule.
It is quite difficult to upgrade to CSE at NIT Rourkela. However, if you work really hard and get lucky enough that the department has vacant seats, you might get into CSE after your first year.
You did not mention the course you need to get admission to BHU or which category you belong to, so it will be difficult to say if a 245 score in CUET is enough to get admission to BHU.

Graduation scores do carry a weightage during admissions at JBIMS but a very minor one. They are not the main criteria to focus on. CET is the most important factor that needs full attention. The candidate's profile is rated on various parameters.

The institute also considers past academic records for computation of Application Rating Score(AR). The cutoff for PAR is as follows:
10th: 60% or above
12th: 60% or above
As you can see little or no weightage is given to Graduation scores. So don’t let your low marks dishearten and discourage you. Rather focus on your CAT/CET.
