Hii
First of all let me give you a brief about both the courses so that you know well what these both actually are about -
Automobile engineering
also known as automotive or vehicle engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with manufacturing, developing, designing, testing and repairing of automobiles like the cars, trucks, scooter etc.
In this branch, there is a blend of mechanical, electrical, software as well as electronic engineering.
Civil Engineering
is one of the oldest discipline of engineering. This branch deals with planning, designing and supervising the construction process of buildings, bridges, tunnels, highways, dams, airports and what not.
Now that we know what is the basics of both, let us discuss the scope of both.
Since the motor vehicles nowadays have become an important part of our life, so the
automobile engineerin
g
is gaining importance. There is a great demand of automobile engineers but to become prominent in your field, you need specialised training and a lot of hardwork and determination is required.
This field will offer a vast range of opportunities to the graduates. A few examples will include -
- Automobile manufacturing industries
- Production plants
- Service stations
- State road transport corporations
- Insuarance companies
- Motor vehicle departments.
Also you can find a great scope in computer industry also if you have a knowledge of CAD, CAM, ERP.
The graduates with masters degree and experience can work as researcher or scientist also.
Civil engineers
are employed in most of the major construction projects. These projects include state or central govenment projects like PWD, railways and military projects.
Real estates is also an option for civil engineers
Coming to
eligiblity
for both these courses-
For UG courses it would be qualifying class 12th with science stream and scoring a minimum of 50% aggregate in qualifying exam.
And for PG course, its very obvious that you must hold a Btech degree.
You need to appear in the entrance exam at both UG and PG level for admission.
In my opinion, out of the two i would prefer Civil Engineering rather than automobile engineering. In civil engineering there is greater scope in india. In india automobile industry is not much vast and so there will be less job opportunities and recruitements. Almost all automobiles are manufactured in foreign countries like Germany and less indians are given chance without experience. On the other hand india being a developing country, Civil engineers have a great scope of development. There is a vast range of job opportunities for civil engineers. A lot of construction work is yet to be started and plans are being made so for these projects, new engineers would be required. So if we talk about jobs, Civil graduate will have more jobs compared to one with automobile engineering.
But rest depends on your interest, if you are not interested in civil engineering it is better you study automobile as per your interest and gain the best possible training and excel in your field.
Hope this helps
Feel free to revert back incase of any doubt
Thanks!!

Hello Tanishka,
I would like to tell you that It totally depends on your interests.
Select something which you love to do and would never get bored, not because it is easy or more rewarding.
You can become successful from both the fields but your hard work and your passion for that subject also plays an important role.
