    Well that totally depends on your interest. As your interest leads to success and growth in future. LPU is a well renowned university, providing quality education, innovative pedagogy and unbeatable placements both national and international. LPU provides a great academic exposure to its students.

    In today's world, the real situation is that the civil and mechanical engineering branches are like fluctuating voltages. I being an electrical engineer would suggest you to go for electrical course. The actual truth is that the evergreen course include EC, CS, IS, IT and EE. Every course has the same value in the society. If you do EE i.e. electrical and electronics engineering then you will have two different ways to make your career which is in both software as well as technical field.
    This is something I would like to suggest you.

    If you talk about today's world, then electrical is far better branch in terms of requirement for company but in future nothing can be said according to me you should go for electrical because it has more scope than mechanical now.

    I think, all the branches of engineering have a good scope and they all are interesting, it totally depends on you that which branch you like and how you take it. In terms of placements, it is a bit easy to get a placement in IT branches as compared to the core branches. Electrical is quite good and has more options.
