It is not easy to explicitly mention the average package of the CSE branch because the institute does not provide the placement report which mentions the average package of every branch. However, I will try to help you out with my little knowledge about it.

2019-20 placement drive:

The Campus Recruitment Program maintained its strong position with visits from 120 recruiters (FTE+ internship) across all campuses and by achieving an overall target of 831 job offers. The highest package offered was INR 49.76 Lakhs per annum while the average package stood at INR 11.76 Lakhs per annum. Some of the companies that hired students from the CSE branch were:

• Accenture
• ADROSONIC IT Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd.
• Amdocs
• GEP
• Goldman Sachs
• IBM

The highest number of CSE students were recruited by Samsung R and D Bangalore.

Thapar University of Engineering and Technology is an old and reputed institute. Since it is an older and renowned institute, its students definitely benefit from it. The core courses have a tremendous placement record for years. Placements opportunities for the mechanical branch are no exception.

Many reputed companies visit the campus for placements among other colleges in this league. Companies such as Tata Motors, Royal Enfield, Maruti Suzuki, etc. visit the campus for placements. The average package for the branch varies from 10-12 LPA. The college even has team Fateh, the finest formula racing team in the country.

You can get the detailed placement records on the official website.

These courses were first inaugurated in the year 2014, and ever since then, students undeniably acquired satisfactory placement offers. 

• The seats in NITIE Mumbai depend upon which category you belong to.
• The current seat availability is about 304, considering each course. This is one reason why both the courses are equally good to pursue. 
• Both PGDPM and PGDMM offer better results in terms of placements.
• Talking about the scope, it is almost the same for both the courses. The opportunity either course will bring is similar and has less to no difference at all. 
• Both the subjects will allow students to sit for summer internships, as will be brought in by different firms. 
• Also it will permit all of them to sit for the final placements likewise.
• The average salary offered for PGDPM is 12-15 LPA while for PGDMM, it is 11-12 LPA

The only separate piece of information this has is that in PGDPM, students are preferred by recruiters if they come with a minimum work experience of about 2 to 3 years. 

Both the colleges mentioned above are one of the oldest yet one of the most reputed NIT in the country, as far as placements are concerned it is very difficult to say which one is better as both the institutes provide almost the same placement opportunities.
