BITS Pilani recently concluded its placement drive for this year and the average package stood at INR 30.37 LPA whereas the highest package stood at INR 60.75 LPA.
The Institute does not release branch-wise packages and thus I consulted a friend who was a part of the BITS Pilani placement drive 2021. As per the information obtained from her, around 80% of the students of the mechanical branch got placed. The average salary package offered was 13 LPA and the highest salary package offered was 40 LPA by Daikin for the mechanical course. Decent roles were offered to students of this branch.

BITS Pilani Placements 2023 welcomed 109 recruiters some of them being Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco, etc.
I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch.
Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600.
This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.
The DTU 2022 placement figures for B.Tech Mechanical branch are quite promising. Around 181 students from the B.Tech Mechanical branch were placed during the year 2022. The total number of offers made was 226. The average package was INR 10.479 LPA and the highest package was INR 1.09 CPA.
These are the 2022 placement figures for the B.Tech Mechanical branch at DTU-

As evident from these recent stats, the placement figures for the Mechanical branch at DTU are quite promising. DTU has a good placement record and it is a well-reputed institution.
The Mechanical Department is one of the departments at IIT Guwahati that is actively involved in research, competitions (robotics, automobile development, etc.), academics, and so on. It is also one of the largest departments in terms of faculty, Ph.D. scholarships, and available equipment. Almost all of the professors are friendly and eager to assist students.
Placements in IIT Guwahati's mechanical engineering department are very good for B.tech students, with 87% of students placed in PSUs and core companies this year. The rest went into software development, analytics, marketing, and research. As of now, this department has never looked more alive. The campus is an undeniable beauty that will provide an unforgettable experience. BTech and BDes students received the highest domestic and international packages, totaling INR 1.2 crore per year and INR 72 LPA, respectively.
Mechanical Engineering is one of the most coveted branches of IIT Delhi and rightly so. The Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Delhi, is ranked 64th in the world QS Rankings 2022. Being one of the oldest fields, Mechanical Engineering is considered an eternal core engineering branch by professionals

Campus life:
IIT Delhi delivers the best learning environment where it’s students can utilize their talents to the fullest and make the most of their 4 years
Placements:
There are more than enough core jobs available despite the IT era with great packages offered to its students
Trust me you will leave with no regrets if you choose this branch. You will have been placed with a decent package and have a plethora of opportunities up your sleeve.
Rather than focusing on the institutes, it’s best to give importance to your branch. I know a friend who gave up on BITS Hyderabad Mechanical production for core Mechanical at VIT. When I asked her the reason she told me that for her it was the branch that mattered more and VIT offered the branch of her choice.
So I will advise you to do the same. Analyze where your interests lie and choose the institute accordingly.
IIT Delhi Mechanical Engineering average package is around INR 15-20 LPA. For core mechanical engineering job profiles the CTC offered is less. Usually, most students go for Consulting, Data Analytics, and Coding job profiles. These jobs usually have higher salary packages. Also, for non-core jobs, mast MNCs are open for all branches.
As a student you should check the following areas and take them into consideration while choosing a particular institution.
Research- VNIT, and COEP beats VJTI in these criteria. Students can do research here under college professors on winter vacations.

Student Activities- VNIT excels in expectations than COEP & VJTI with myriad festivals, clubs, and extra-curricular.
Research after Bachelors’- Lots of VNIT students get themselves into research work after their graduation. However, there is no available information for VJTI and COEP.
Considering all the aspects listed above, VNIT seems a better choice for mechanical engineering than COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai.
