    I'm guessing you want to know what major to pursue at university in order to work as a software engineer, right?

    Well, each and every branch in engineering is good. We can't compare them. There are just few differences like mechanical, electrical and civil are evergreen branches, but CS IT and EC have high placement records. Other than this, you may also take chemical, metallurgy, mechatronics, etc. So, choose a suitable branch. Go for it.
