If we compare these colleges based only on brand value and reputation, then COEP is way ahead of SPCE.
But you should prioritize your branch of choice while choosing an institute. Civil and Mechanical engineering, both these are core branches of engineering and have their advantages and disadvantages. Mechanical Engineering will give you exposure to a variety of branches like Automobile, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Thermal, etc. If you are genuinely interested in Mechanical Engineering, you can go to Sardar Patel College of Engineering. They have a good faculty base for the branch.
If you are flexible regarding your branch choice, you can choose COEP Civil. The institute offers a branch change option after completion of the first year too.
