Let’s consider the effect of graduation scores in summer and final placements separately.

Summer Placements:

 During these placements, the recruiters don’t have your MBA profile to judge you. So they have to take your graduation score, past academics, and other criteria into consideration. The summer placements are largely based on what the candidate has achieved till the time he joined his/her MBA program. This is exactly why placement committees request that students utilize the time before joining the institute to improve their resumes. You can upscale yourself with work experience, your education, your extra-curricular activities, etc.

Final Placements: 

During these placements, the students are almost about to complete their MBA. This means their profile has improved through various on and off-campus opportunities. These opportunities include research projects, work on industry projects, and summer internships. So now your CGPA in your MBA program and performance in these activities carry more importance than your undergraduate CGPA.

So we can say graduation scores matter in summer placements but not much in final placements.

M.Tech placements at IIT Gandhinagar are almost completely driven by core jobs. B.Tech placements, on the other hand, also rely on non-core jobs. This is why the placement percentage and average salary for M.Tech stand lower than those for B.Tech.

One of my seniors told me that for M.Tech at IIT Gandhinagar, the average package goes to around INR 7-9 LPA. M.Tech placements completely rely on core jobs. Some other companies that give offers to M.Tech students include General Electric, Reliance Jio Infocomm, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hatch Associates, GIFT, etc. 

Overall, the M.Tech placement figures for IIT Gandhinagar are quite promising and they will further improve with time.
