What are your research interests? I am no expert at this, but I was admitted to the USC CS PhD program, and hence researched the school well. I also talked to a few faculty from EE (my interests are at interface of AI and systems theory, so EE faculty were excellent options too), and I really liked the place and department.

 

Among the three, I feel USC might be a better option, if you are also interested in systems/data/optimization and the likes. Columbia is also an excellent school, but I would personally choose a university in California, and would recommend the same for all Indian students :)
