this is a moajor issue. engineers thinking of placements! 

the key point is companies look for people who develops skill and learn faster. above average students in a class do get placed. its all about self learning before placements. and mechanical has a vast scope, you won't get dissapoint. salary is dependent on how skillfull you are. 

good luck
