Both are having scope in future. SEE when you are really into either of the subject and you are going to put 100% then definitely you are going to get a good job in future. When you are possible nothing is impossible. Now, from above two you need to choose the one. So, study yourself well and then go for the one:
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a professional programme which helps students to understand the working mechanisms of heavy tools and machineries. It deals with construction, design, and manufacture of machines. Automobile Engineering
It is a branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, el

If you are talking about India, I think we have a large scope of automobile engineers. Automobile sector is getting bigger day by day as many foreign car brands starting there manufacturing plants in India. The companies which already have there plant are planning to expand. Companies like Hyundai are exporting their vehicles which are manufactured here. Luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes and Audi are giving great importance to our country. All these reasons will create great opportunities for automobile engineers in India.

Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials Science for the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Mechanical Engineers are employed in Operations and Maintenance roles in Manufacturing and Services industry. It is an evergreen branch with no cyclic trend in job market. Some of the largest areas of employment of Mechanical diploma engineers are in productions, machine tools, railway engineering, aerospace, the automobile industry, power plants, armed forces and paramilitary forces.
Automobile engineering is a branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the design, manufacture and operation of motorcycles, automobiles, trucks etc and their respective engineering subsystems. Automobile engineers are employed by Automobile design and manufacturing units, automobile ancillary industry and Automobile service sectors.
Automobile engineering is a branch of Mechanical engineering, where you'll deal mostly with automobile, whereas in Mechanical engineering, you'll deal with all machines and its design and then many more basics. But literally both are same, no big difference. Syllabus of Automobile engineering overlaps with Mechanical engineering between 80 to 90%. Compulsory courses on engineering drawing, workshop, instrumentation, Thermodynamics, Strength of material , theory of machines, heat transfer, Refrigeration etc are common in both Mechanical and Automobile engineering but additional like automotive chassis, engine, dynamics, body engineering suspension, transmission, automotive electronics & electrical are separate
Automobile engineering is a niche branch thus it has less opportunities in comparison to Mechanical engineering graduates. Mechanical engineers are employed in Automobile industry but Automobile engineers may not be preferred in core mechanical jobs.
