1. Metallurgy is an old field of science and it's an unconventional field of engineering, which students generally don't prefer because they think this field is not much in demand.
2. Actually, this field is the mother of every other field. Just imagine the world without metals and non-metals. It's unimaginable. Modernization of the human race started due to discovery in this field. The big machines (mechanical), automobiles, chemical engineering, etc.
3. The boom in new discoveries in Metallurgy gave way to a boom in industrialization, thus it will remain an important branch of engineering and science. People will always use metals and non-metals for numerous purposes. Guess what? In future, there would be robots extracting precious metals on other planets.
4. Imagine the world without iron, steel, copper, gold, etc. This is your answer.
Technology of extraction, purification may change but the need of this field will always remain.
5. Materials Science is the branch of future, whether it's nanotechnology or polymers or composite materials. These materials will form the base of engineering in coming future.

Yes, go for it definitely. Reasons ate given below. Computer Science engineering (CSE) is one of the popular courses among engineering aspirants which focuses on the basic elements of computer programming and networking. Students pursuing computer Science courses will gain knowledge of design, implementation and management of information system of both hardware and software. Going by the name, CSE course deals primarily with the theory of computation and design of computational systems. The course is offered across the globe in technical institutions at undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels awarding B.Tech and M.Tech degrees, respectively. Job opportunities are available for Graduates in Government as well as Private sector. Graduates may take up the following job posts-
Software Engineer
Software Tester
Project Manager
Application Developer
After completing ME /M.Tech Programme, one may also take up a teaching job. Also, after taking up Ph.D. programme, one may also build a career in the Research and Development sector. The good thing about B.E. /B.Tech. Computer Science and Engineering programme is that it also allows one to remain self-employed. Average starting salary is generally between INR 3 Lacs - INR 5 Lacs an year. One may start one's own programming and software development venture and remain self-employed.

If you have an interest in computer hardware and software, but you aren't sure which career path to choose, you probably want to learn about information technology (IT) and computer Science. These two rewarding careers each require a slightly different set of skills, and they each appeal to a somewhat different type of person. An IT career involves installing, organizing and maintaining computer systems as well as designing and operating networks and databases. Computer Science is focused entirely on efficiently programming computers using mathematical algorithms. An IT career doesn't necessarily require a computer Science CS degree, although a CS degree opens certain doors that otherwise wouldn't be available. IT professionals typically work in a business environment installing internal networks and computer systems and perhaps programming. Computer scientists work in a wider range of environments, ranging from businesses to universities to video game design companies. Both of these careers have excellent growth potential and high salaries, with software developers somewhat ahead of IT professionals in earnings. Best of Luck.
