Since you aren't a complete novice, I think you're ready for C++, for the following reasons:
It's dangerous. Some may think this is a reason to avoid it, but these are things you are going to have to learn.
It's close to the hardware. This makes it fast and optimization and also suitable for tiny little boxes.
It has a good preprocessor. It's as dangerous as juggling chainsaws, but when you start developing a code base that has to compile on multiple systems, you'll really appreciate it.
It has objects without pointers. Traditional objects always have pointers. C++ lets you have objects that are not allocated and not accessed by pointers. Instead, they look like any other data type. This allows some choices that you might not ordinarily make when thinking in terms of objects, which, because of 2, you can optimize to zero cost for production. My favorite example is units. We lost a $328 million Mars orbiter because of different units of measurement (see MARS CLIMATE ORBITER TEAM FINDS LIKELY CAUSE OF LOSS). It's easy to make a units system in C++ and tweak it for hacking, debugging, and running. Also think currencies.
It has a template system. I think this is the most amazing thing about C++ per se. It has been reported that the system is so powerful because of an early implementation made it more powerful than specified. Good. When you can use templates effectively in C++, you're an expert in C++.

All are the good streams, You can choose any branch according to your interest. If we compare both the branches then CSE has more scope than other streams. CSE: Job openings for Software professionals is much higher in the corporate sector than in public sector. There is a huge scope of placements in CSE. In fact, it has taken the top position in placements as compared to the other fields. Programming involves a lot of innovations and students who love programming and designing or have a creative mind with a good understanding of coding can get into CSE and fit in very easily. Being an alumnus of LPU and currently working with a good company. If you are looking for industry oriented academics, practical based curriculum, professional corporate culture during the college life itself, and better placement in any fortune company, then Lovely Professional University- LPU is totally worth it. LPU has around 2000 faculty members. Well as per my experience, the study of CSE in LPU is very good. CSE is one of the branches in LPU having wonderful placements. Most of their students get placed in reputed companies with few opting for higher studies. Special inputs in the form of placement classes are given to students to hone their skills and prepare them for placements. LPU focuses on the overall growth of the students. LPU is one of the best private universities in the country with best curriculum, world-class infrastructure, modern facilities and highly qualified faculty. It has around 25000+ Students across the campus in different professional Schools. LPU Student Tanya Arora Hired by Microsoft at a package of Rs. 42 Lac - Tanya Arora, a final year B.Tech Computer Science Engineering student of Lovely Professional University, has bagged a whopping Rs 42 Lac job offer from Microsoft. LPU alumni, Utkarsh, placed at Google HQs in Silicon Valley Rs. 1Cr. + package! Not just in India, LPU students are making a mark around the world. One of our very own is now working at Google HQ in Palo Alto with an illustrious package of Rs. 1 Crore plus. So, surely, LPU is worth it.
