Question
i has been selected in engineering college but i am confused while selecting the subject for which i should go! Please help me to choose from computer science, electronic, mechanical engineering subjects on the basis of future job prospects.

Answer
I suggest that you choose based on what you find interesting.  Have you ever taken apart a car, dishwasher or other mechanical gizmo?  If you liked it, then you would enjoy mechanical engineering.  Have you ever done computer programming or built your own computer from parts?  Think about what you like to do.  There are plenty of jobs in all of these fields - pick something you enjoy doing and are good at.
