Hi, both these branches are ever green branches. Mostly everything is pretty similar when it comes to these two branches. It really depends on you what you wish to become and what you want to do as a full time job in the future. While you are doing your course you will notice that there are some subjects that are same such as Fluid Mechanics, SOM, etc. Civil Engineering has a lot of drawing designs. You have it in Mechanical too but only in 2 semesters. By drawing I don't mean by rough drawing. It requires a lot of patients and a lot of equipment like drafter, French curve etc. Job opportunities in both the fields is same. In Civil you will have a lot of field work. Mechanical has a little bit more of designing. Now, you can decide which suits you the best. Hope this helps.
