I recommend CS.

Content wise all these courses have a lot in common.

Also, To become a successful software engineer, you need passion and dedication more than any degree. I have seen people from Chemistry background rising upto solution architect level and they started programming from the grass root level.

But, to be pragmatic in Indian scenario. I lot of organizations do consider the degree names while hiring people. I have been in the industry for almost 8 years now and i have been on both ends of the recruitment table. So if I have to select one option from the above list, I would go for Computer Engineering.


Update
-----------------------------

Why is this prefered:

1. First of all quality of assessment and course contents is better.
2. Some companies desire a 16 year education for graduation (12 + 4).
3. Comparatively better teachers.
4. Lot of opportunities for campus recruitment.
5. Last but not the lease, People's mindset.

OK. can you list the programming languages that are taught in all three fields.
Rahul Rajat Singh 9-Apr-13 3:34am    
Now you took it too far. Do you not have access to websites of various colleges and universities?

you can get the curriculum for all the courses across the country on the internet. Do you expect me to do this exercise and tell you the list. Try Aicte and UGC websites.
