Hello Shashi Kumar, It totally depends on your score in the first year. If you have really scored well, you might get a transfer in the CS branch. But mind that if you get an opportunity, read about all the branches' courses and then decide the best option for you. Hope this helps!

It completely depends on your interest and strengths. If you like coding and you are good at it then yes, you can change your branch.
