Which branch of engineering has good scope in India?

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. Student must choose his branch based on his/her interest to excel in professional life. This decade belongs to Electronics and Telecommunications. Electronics and Telecommunications will continue to impact all walks of life including business. Next wave of Industrial revolution is automation and Electronics will play a vital role in it. ECE engineers can be employed in all type of industries including IT. Computer Science is the facilitating technology for all business and personal activities. Indian IT industry is worlds largest outsourcing hub. Computer Science engineering is dominating the job market for last 15 years. Indian Computer industry has started showing early sign of decline due to outcry against outsourcing in western world. Therefore, Electronics &Telecommunication is best option with respect to career opportunities and scope. Computer Science will continue to good career option for some more times in the field of Engineering. Mechanical is an ever green branch for last 50 years and will continue to remain same in next 50 years. Civil Engineering is an age old profession and with Government of India's focus on infrastructure scope and opportunities for Civil Engineer will be very high for next few years. Most of the jobs are in field. India has very well developed Chemical Industry including Petroleum & gas both in Government and private sector. It is core sector with lot of Government and big corporate houses support. Chemical Engineers have good scope in India and abroad. Its market is little seasonal and has heavy dependence of Geo political environment. Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) is a core field of engineering but majority of EEE graduates are treated as Electrical engineers. My recommendations in order of precedence are ECE, CSE , Mechanical, EEE, Chemical and then Civil engineering if student does not have any specific area of interest.
