Hi,
The annual salary of any engineer from any institute can't be predicted. It depends upon many factors such as your CGPA, company, etc.
So, work hard.

You have following options to become a software engineer ( In order of precedence):
(a) B.Tech CS/ IT
(b) BCA-MCA,
(c) B.Sc-M.Sc CS/IT.
(d) Diploma in Computer Science from a polytechnics
(e) Computer courses
B.Tech CSE/IT is the best option to become a Software Engineer.

Most software engineer positions require a Bachelor's degree. Mainly B.Tech is the good option to enhance your career. Majoring in software engineering will provide the most useful background for designing and perfecting software in the corporate world. Computer science is another good choice, although it's more theoretical approach is best suited for future graduate students and R&D work.

Dear Harsh,
If it would not have been an important subject than why would CBSE had introduced it into its curriculum? It is a subject that will give you a better understanding of programming and other technical knowhow that you will require in your graduation to better understand the subject. It will work as a foundation for future. So don't distract yourself by what people say. Just focus on your studies and go ahead in life.
