First of all, you will never enjoy your four years of college if you have not taken branch of your choice. It will just be full of boredom and you will lose some best years of your life in constant pressure and irritation.

Sit calmly and pen down the colleges of your choice and the branch you prefer. You should also do full background check of the colleges you have selected. Especially the prospects of your desired branch in that college like the faculties, the infrastructure, the placement stats, Industrial connectivity etc. Now come with an optimum solution keeping in mind the perks and the downfall of your decision. However, don’t compromise with your inner calling for the sake of fanciness.
