i am getting electrical in dhanbad and civil in pilani, which would be better?

dont take any core branch at dhanbad...the ratings are very poor there except petroleum and mining there....and unless you get a cse or tronix at nit a,w,t,s take civill at bits plani but keep in mind that campus placements in civil have suffered a lot due to PSUs backing out of that and preferring gate scores...so if you get upto electrical,mech,or IT in top NITs or BITS then go for it....

but i am not interested in cse or tronix i prefer core branches so should i take core branches in nit or dtu

hmmm if you are so interested in core branches then i will give you the order for you AIEEE preference

1.MECH-NIT A(it has even more psus visiting than most IITs and probably second best mech after IIT k in india)

2.ELECTRICAL-NIT W

3.ELECTRICAL-NIT T

4.ELECTRICAL-NIT A

5.MECH-NIT T

6.MECH-NIT W

7.ELECTRICAL-NIT SURATHKAL

8.ELECTRICAL-DTU

9-ELECTRICAL-NSIT

10-MECH-NSIT

11-MECH-DTU

12-MECH-NIT SURATHKAL

if you dont get these then i suggest you to finally take civil at pilani...
