IIIT Vadodara is a newly established institute and is at present operating through its transit campus. That clearly means it is not fair to compare it with an old reputed institute like Thapar University.
The first batch of IIIT Vadodara graduated back in 2017 and you can find the details of that batch on their official websites.
However, here is a brief overview of the 2020 placement reports of both institutes.
