The B.Tech ECE branch at NIT Jamshedpur receives really good placements.
You can apply for core, software and analytics firms, based on interest, as all of them visit the department for recruitments. Core companies like L&T, Siemens, Commscope, etc. visit for recruitments. From the IT domain, companies like Amazon, Oracle, UHG etc. visit the department with job offers.
From the Analytics domain, this list includes ZS, MU Sigma, EXL, etc. The department students are placed in each of these domains in a good number, each year. Last year, the placement percentage for B.Tech ECE was 100%. The highest package for this branch was 83.4 LPA, and the average package was 22.03 LPA.
Thus, the ECE placements at NIT Jamshedpur are quite good.

If you are in ECE, there are chances that you will be placed in MNCs such as TCS, Infosys, and other IT companies, but there are very few chances that you will be placed in a core electronics company.
Choosing a particular college or a department actually depends on you, and how you want to shape your career ahead. Having known some people who study in both these institutions, I can say that they all have their fair share of strengths and weaknesses.
I might not be able to help you select one among them, because they are both good in their own ways. So, I will share some information about them which might help you make the choice.

It is suggested that you go for the more experienced institute, as it will prove to be better for your career ahead. You will get to learn new skills and take part in seminars and industry visits, to get a slice of the corporate world.
The choice of the institute between IIT Gandhinagar CSE and IIT Guwahati ECE depends if you want to follow the branch of your interest or want just go for the brand name of the institute.
If you value a branch more than a brand then go for the institute that offers the branch of your choice. If you are inclined towards CSE, then go for IIT Gandhinagar without much hesitation. Despite being a new IIT, it offers the IT tag and education at par with most IITs. Don’t let the fact that it’s a new IIT demotivate you. The students maketh the college and not vice versa.
But if you are bothered by the brand value and are hesitant about joining a new IIT, then go for IIT Guwahati.
According to the recent placement highlights, IIIT Allahabad ECE average package is INR 10 LPA. Not many core companies visit the campus placement. But this is the case for most colleges. Companies visiting the campus placement are mostly from IT sector. Companies like Samsung, Sandisk, Qualcomm, Google, etc. hire through campus placement.
If you have some knowledge of programming, Data Structures, CS fundamentals, etc. you can get decent placement opportunities.
If you're interested in IIITs ECE program, then you should probably think about other schools as well. If you are going to study ECE at IIIT, you should think again. There are advantages and disadvantages of studying at IIIT.

However, if you really want to become an expert in electronics, then by all means go for it but make sure to give your best to acquire knowledge and get a good score. People often find it hard to see the value of electronics, but if you've already decided to focus on it. Don't get distracted by college. Work hard in your field of study. Don't put too much emphasis on college.
According to one of my friends, who is an alumnus of Thapar University, the integrated program involving BE and MBA is mostly preferred by the students nowadays over many other branches like civil, chemical, mechanical, and many others. At the same time, computer science or electronics plus MBA is a good option to take your career ahead as you may be well aware of the popularity of the computer science branch at Thapar University. Also, there is a benefit of not giving competitive exams such as CAT or GMAT.
The students who remain in the turmoil of giving entrance exams and don't want to write the national level exams or are afraid of not getting LM Thapar according to the marks scored in entrance exams, mostly prefer this course.
Since the course is newly introduced by the university, it will take time to settle and as soon as the stream settles down, automatically the cut-off will go high.
As for why this course has low priority among students, it’s just a mindset problem and has nothing to do with the course or university.
Yes, ECE at IIIT Allahabad is surely worth choosing over CS at NITs like Kurukshetra, Surat, or Bhopal. I may not have much information about Surat and Bhopal but here is a detailed comparison between IIIT Allahabad and NIT Kurukshetra

Another reason I am suggesting you join IIIT Allahabad is that if you work hard in the first year, you can upgrade your branch to IT and avail some amazing opportunities.
NITC is pretty good in terms of both curriculum and placement. But ECE in general is a vast branch where you have to study bits and pieces of electronics, Electrical engineering, Communication Engineering, and Computer Science. Initially, it might seem a bit overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, you will understand the beauty of the subject.
