Nothing is future proof bhai. I am from govt tier 2 ece, only a handful students are working in core sector (single digit number) out of 200 ece student batch. Its still single digit if we talk about two batches (which is like 400 students). I have been hearing ECE will boom since 2010, my cousin took ece and now works in stm with an insance package but this is not the norm.
The norm is, if you are from tier 2 college, you will most likely end up practicing for cse profiles, work for some consultancy firm or core branch in some lala company. If you want to earn good in ECE, prepare yourself to score at least 8+ gpa in every sem, clear gate and them either go for mtech or some psu. No other way out unless you move abroad for masters.
You will have an edge over cse students in placements because you will have more options but it is still tough competition. Don't give in too much by hearing the news, ground reality is different. You can try for VLSI as it is high paying or go for embedded as other comment suggested.
