Hi Pranjali,
Both subjects are equally good and have their own pros and cons. One should always opt for the subject in which they hold their interest. On the successful completion of the B.Tech (Computer Science), one can look at the following profiles:
1. Software Engineer / Programmer
2. Developer (.NET / Java / C+ etc.)
3. Network Administrator
4. Database Administrator
5. Tester
6. Business Analyst
Environmental Engineering can be in multiple fields like Solid waste management, water supply and waste-water treatment, and air pollution and control. Also, a specific industrial profile can be developed in Environmental Impact Assessment and Protection. Wish you luck.
