There are many advantages associated with pursuing company secretary. It is a professional course. If you are being hired by a settled company you can reach to managerial levels. It is always in demand. After engineering and with relevant experience you can easily acquire job in countries like UK. There are less chances of Engineering students getting appointed as CS in India.

It doesn't matter that from which field you are many CS are their who done their graduation in different streams they joined CS. Well it all depends on your interest but there are people pursuing CS after engineering and other non commerce backgrounds so if it interest you go for it. However, I am unable to relate the two courses since they have nothing in common. Pursuing CMA (CWA) can be more beneficial to engineering students.
