Which engineering stream should I choose other then CS?

Here are four Core branches of engineering I.e. Mechanical, Chemical, Civil and Electrical. Each of these branches have developed into specialised sub branches. The number of engineering degrees available has increased dramatically. For example Electrical Engineering is further divided in specialisations such as Electronics, Instrumentation, Telecommunication, Computer Science, Information Technology etc. Mechanical Engineering also has specialisations such Production, Aeronautical etc. Chemical engineering is further divided in petrochemical, polymer technology etc. Trends on various engineering branches scope and opportunities varies with multiple parameters such as Economic growth, Geo Politics, innovation & technology changes, shortage of skills, quality of education, changes social capital etc. Therefore, predicting trends is very difficult. Currently scope for B.Tech CSE and ECE graduates is highest. ECE is a good branch because it open opportunities in Electronics, Telecommunication, IT, ITES etc industries. Mechanical engineering is evergreen branch of engineering with not much change in scope in last 5 decades. After CSE, my recommendations are ECE and Mechanical engineering. But, you must chose branch of engineering based on your interests to excel not on market demand and others recommendations.
