This is the most difficult question to answer. There is no specification that which engineering branch is good. Every branch has its scope. There are successful businesses and well-paying jobs in all disciplines. The salary or the package is dependent on the companies and not on the branches of engineering. You can get a good package if you are good in your branch; the branch in particular does not matter much so take the branch in which you are interested and good.
