In general, There are many companies now who don't keep these branch barrier. if anyone who statisfy their selection bar, they select the candidate. Later they make all the adjustments and make the students fit into the work.

If you go by branch like i am from manufacturing engineering branch and i should get a job in my branch only then you will get few chances only. Chances are there but options are less as the openings will be less. Here the word Competitive becomes like bottle-neck condition. Here a candidate having expertise in the branch domain will get the job.

So try in general domain and specific domain also. It all depends on the skills you possess to get a job.
