Hello Ravi Pandey, If you are thinking of B.Tech from Govind Ballabh University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar then it depends on the branch you want to opt for. The students in Pantnagar has ranks varying from 12,000- 1,10,000 (including spot round+ girls quota -general) based on 2016 All India ranks. For computer engineering and mechanical engineering, you need quite a good rank in Uttrakhand around 300. Then for other branches, it varies from 400- 800 (approx.).
Also, for general armed forces there is a special privilege given to the student there are around 9 seats reserved for the defense service.
Hope this helps! All the best!

It depends on what country you live in. In Canada and the US, by choosing an Economics degree, you pretty much need at least a Master's degree to be considered an economist. Then, the possibilities are broad. Of course, government will be an obvious choice; academic also, if you're willing to do a PhD, but with a Master, a lot of corporate jobs are now open to you, and maybe you would want to specialize in different areas such as finance, international economics, industrial organization, etc. These are all aspects of economics which are more applied. The banks and some big companies will want to have economics graduates. You might want to consider a double major Math & Econ. That's what I did and I realize the vastness of the possibilities it opened up! Adding the math part is helpful because that's the future of the jobs. Handling big data sets, programming and optimizing strategies, etc. Very cool, but (depending on which school you do your degree at) only Economics might be too little.
On the other hand, Engineering is always a good choice, since it is well recognized, and it gives you that "prestige" of engineering, of hard work and deep science (compared to economics, which might be considered more of an art, to some, than a science). Engineering (again, depending on the economy of the country you're willing to work in), would gear you towards Innovation jobs, management, production. The prospects are good, and progress is considerable. Another bonus is that if you don't find a job, you can start your own by inventing something or becoming a consultant.
