    Please be very careful while choosing your branch and take care of the below points:

    among all the branches cse has the best placement
    but it all matters on colleges to college too some college have cse better some has electronics and some has mechanical so choose among these three only cse electronics and mechanical and if you are thinking about dropping then drop the idea of dropping
    studying a whole year the same thing without friend and with immense pressure is very difficult I have seen my friend getting nothing even after taking a drop

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.
