Can you suggest the difficulty level of these streams in increasing order- Aerospace, CSE, Civil ECE, petroleum and mechanical?

I know all the streams of engineering are difficult but still, if we make an overall comparison, what should be the order?

Instead of asking ranking in terms of difficulty, just think differently and ask ranking on lines of ease of study. All are easy if you study. If you find chemistry easy then perhaps petroleum for you. If maths is easy then aeronautics. Ask what your heart desires and then go for it.

All though it's difficult to compare difficulty level of Engineering branches, my recommended in order of increasing difficulty order will be as follows: Civil, Petroleum, Mechanical, Aeronautical, CSE and ECE. Civil being the easiest and ECE being toughest.
