Hi,
All the branches of engineering are equally good and have tremendous job opportunities. It entirely depends on how well you understand and handle the stream and increase your scope of growth.
Some demanding branches of engineering are:
-Aeronautical engineering
-Automobile engineering
-Chemical engineering
-Civil engineering
-Computer science and engineering
-Electrical engineering
-Electronics and communication engineering
-Mechanical engineering, etc.
Different branches of engineering are popular at different places and the popularity depends upon the day to day requirement of that place.
While deciding on a branch one should review the below mentioned points:-
- You should focus on what all you will study in each branch and choose a branch according to your area of interest and personal attributes.
- Opt for a stream where you are comfortable and sure of success.
- Join a reputed college as this will increase your job prospects.
- Discuss with your seniors and others about the pros and cons of each branch and make a decision which will help you in building up a rewarding career.
Petroleum engineering:
Petroleum engineers are employed in jobs which are mainly concentrated in oil and gas extraction, professional, scientific and technical services and petroleum refining.
One can also entail the option of working as a scientist/researcher to carry out the R&D processes. Employment is rest assured for graduates in this sector as the number of graduates passing out is always less than the number of jobs available. The demand for petroleum and petroleum products is only expected to increase and the increase would lead to creation of new jobs. In fact, there is a great demand of efficient petroleum engineers and almost every young graduate in petroleum engineering gets a job offer from petrol and gas companies from India and overseas.
Besides getting jobs in Indian petroleum companies, candidates with qualification in petroleum engineering get jobs in Reliance Industries Ltd, ONGC, Schlumberger, British Gas, Halliburton Services, Essar Oil, GSPC, Shell, OIL, Gas Authority of India Ltd, Cairn Energy, IOCL, Essar Oil Ltd, NIKO Resources, GEOENPRO, MECOM Ltd, Baker Hughes, Reliance Energy, etc. amongst many others.

Petroleum Engineering is a neiche branch therefore career opportunities are limited. CSE is branch whose graduates can be empoyed with various kind of jobs in different industries. Also IT industry in India is bigger thus had more job opportunities in comparison to Petroleum Engineering.

For Computer Science, a number of institutions are available, offering effective coaching and placements are also satisfactory. For chemical engineering, very limited opportunities are found and it is said that to be expensive to run the course.

All branches have their own value. It depends on you that in which branch you have more interest. Computer science has more scope but you should choose that branch in which you are willing to go.

Engineering in petroleum is good because it is in great demand and also less students going in this field so probability of getting job is very high.

Am Really Surprised By Your Question Because Student Should Never Try To Go Toward What Is Demanding , Go With What you Made For , Try To Do Justice with your Future and Interest .
If You Do So Everything Will Be Demanding . but Coming To Your Question I want To Say Its Answer Is So Simple, CSE is More Demanding Cause It Has More Scope And Work Area Than That Of Petroleum Branch.
Thanks .
