I might have missed a few companies.
The highest package of this year was from West Line Ship Management (21.6 LPA). I don't know how the placements are there in IIT'sand NIT's for mechanical but here in VIT, these are the companies visited this year till now. I hope few more companies may join in this list at the end of this 2016 academic year because still one more semester is there to complete this academic year.
NOTE: All these above-mentioned companies had taken in single digit numbers (min 1- max 10) and package ranging (3LPA-12LPA)
In simple words, companies do come, it's up to you to get placed.

Aerospace and automotive are two major manufacturing industries - also old industries born over a century ago; they have drastically evolved in the past 30 years in terms of product performance, leveraging high technologies and significantly reducing time-to-market. Both industries rely on rigorous quality requirements, advanced materials, electronics and embedded systems, mechanical components, engines, structures, (.) as well as robust New Product Introduction (NPI) and enabling Product Life-cycle Management (PLM).
Aerospace is a generic term that includes commercial aircraft, planes and helicopters, military and defence, ground equipment and space.
The aerospace industry has a strong certification and compliance requirement, with consequences on development cost and technology solutions. The automotive industry requires perhaps less formal processes, though there is a significant focus on compliance and regulations.
Overall both have a great scope in varied sector domains.
