I would say that they are not entirely wrong, as there is a wide scope for skilled engineers in India and Abroad. Some engineering fields you must consider joining after evaluating your interest areas are:- 1- Computer Science Engineering: - This is the field that attracts the highest packages for students in India due to an increase in demand by IT sector. World economies have observed a sharp rise in digitalisation and IOT, leading to a requirement of more skilled professionals in this field.
