I would say you should choose the branch as per your interest and potential and if you talk about Automotive Engineering then the scope is decent as the demand of this field is increasing day by day due to which we need large number of automotive engineers. On the increasing demand of cars, the car companies show their full interest to setup car companies in various states of India and the same goes with foreign companies as well. The need for the car is increasing geometrically apart from Indian car company Tata motors other foreign companies like Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Nissan, Chevrolet, BMW and many more earning huge money from Indian market. As India is one of the second largest country of the world so it can give a large market for the cars production in India so if the companies increase the demand of Automotive Engineers will also be increased. So lastly, if you have keen interest in this field and you have all the potential to give your best in this so it is advisable to go ahead with this as the scope and job opportunities are good.

Good Luck!!!

Automotive Engineering is a sub-branch of vehicle engineering. It can also be considered as a sub-branch of mechanical engineering that has split from the main branch focusing on the automotive field of study. Automobile engineering focuses on the cars. It specifically deals with the designing of cars, operations in production of cars, designing of engines and fuel management. Thus, automobile engineering can be considered as a sub branch of automotive engineering. However, generally both the branches are used interchangeably to denote a branch dealing with motor vehicles.
