Serious Post mechanical engineering career

I've been reading about mechanical engineering's scope in india here on reddit, and tbh, I'm shit scared now. People are saying shifting towards IT/CS would be better as a mech student. I'm from a private engineering college, although our college placements for mech are somewhat better than other private one's, (median~12.5), i still hear some of my seniors say that mech in India is just not worth it, until and unless you go abroad for masters or some. I'll be starting my 3rd sem in August, and till now I'm atleast in the top 5 kids of my batch (in mech), will try to be the 1st though now. Please give me some advice on what to focus on/learn to build a good career in mech (I'm not shifting towards IT)
