If your main aim is to get job after engineering go for core branches like electronics, electrical or computer science. If you choose this branch also you can enter into petroleum companies after clearing their recruitment tests. Unfortunately if you can't make it into petroleum companies there are many IT companies in which you can get job. Getting job in IT company is not a cake walk still you will have the eligibility to apply for Software engineer position. In a nutshell choose core branches so that you can get opportunities.

^^ Well but what I think is petroleum companies like Schlumberger would only pick u from a specialized college like UPES or then directly from IITs nothing in between so this way it looks nice as u don't do IIT but still u get same job opportunities.
