See you should choose your path according to your interest and not according to placement.
Opportunities to huge salary will be wide open if you have good basics.
Both branches you have mentioned are good in both knowledge and placement opportunities.
Also try to have powerful communication skills that will help you during your placement.

Both the branches are good in terms of placements. Both have good scope. You should choose a branch according to your preference and passion. You can't compare these branches.

 

Good Luck!!
