I want to drop my engineering and pursue my studies in arts or music. What should I do?d

I can understand your frustration as in the beginning, engineering studies are very dry, boring and do not seem to connect with actual engineering solution. Interested or not, your marks in school suggest, you are a hard working person and studies come naturally to you. Therefore, your parent's decision was correct to admit you in engineering. Now come to your interest. If you are good and have natural talent in fine arts, painting, playing instruments, singing etc. then you should pursue them as hobby and to take out the frustration of studying boring subjects. Changing branch is no solution as in first year you study only common general subjects. From second year on, you will study specific engineering subjects which would be more interesting. The other option of pursuing arts as degree course is not good because of following reasons:- 1. You will find that your other classmates are much below your IQ and study standard. 2. The arts degree course comprises of subjects like history, political science, geography and language which would be even more boring. 3. A degree in music or arts can never give you a career similar to engineering, unless you are as talented as Arijeet Singh or A R Rahman. Moreover, your talent in music and fine arts can give you a rockstar status in engineering college during annual festivals, farewells and tech-fest; as not many engineering students are good in these fields. So my advice is to continue to pursue engineering whole heartedly but keep your interest alive in music and fine arts by joining some band group or classes in evening.

As per your marks and percentages it seems to be that you are good in studies. If you are managing still in engineering subjects then don't give up. If your interest is towards Arts subjects then spend your free time in it. I am sure your interest will not divert you but make you focus more towards the success.

You should not leave engineering. You can pursue your interest later on. Also you could do studies in music along with the engineering. But, obviously with engineering and being a good student, you have good chances of getting a great career ahead.

Hi, As advised by all experts, try not to be away from your current course but have a choice, ask the same question to yourself, why you want to change your stream? A. Are you frustrated with your course and want to run away from it? B. You love arts or music more than current course? I don’t know in which year you are but I will suggest you to take the call from your mind very seriously and discuss the same with your parents. Be focused in what to do in arts and music. If you find happiness in your decision, move ahead with your choice. I am sure the success will knock your door someday.

You should change your plan slightly. First of all complete your engineering and then go for arts or music. Then you can have double advantage. There is no risk also.

Re think on your decision although I respect your choice but I suggest you do not take an early exit. To full fill your hobby you can join some evening classes of Music or fine arts. After completion of degree you can devote your full time in the area of your interest.
