My brother is an alumnus of IIT Patna. According to him, IIT Patna Mechanical branch is pretty good and without any faults. IIT Patna Mechanical is good in all the parameters- Faculty, Curriculum, Projects, Funding, and Opportunities.
My brother even visited the IIT Bhubaneswar campus to meet a friend, and even in the IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical branch, all facilities are provided and are at par with IIT Patna.
The same goes for the electrical branch. IIT Patna and IIT Bhubaneswar are the same in almost every parameter one can think of.

Both institutions are very similar in terms of facilities, placements, rank, and other parameters. You should choose the one that fits your personal preferences better. In this regard, location can also be a deciding factor.
Last year some of my friends were also caught in this dilemma and wondered the same question. It is recommended to contact seniors from the colleges you want to compare through social media. Check out each college's gymkhana and college websites to see what events they are participating in. You'll get a sense of what kind of life you'll have in the coming 4 years.

There is no way to find everything in one college that you desire, and there will always be advantages and disadvantages. You should make the right decision for yourself if the available facilities and atmosphere will be productive to you or not.
Now, for the IIT BBS electrical and mechanical departments, they have separate schools with full lab facilities on a permanent campus. The majority of the professors are from IIT Kharagpur, and they are all knowledgeable and helpful to the students, given that they are all highly qualified and experts in their fields.
