Hi, It totally depends on your interest. All the branches have its own importance. Nowadays, CSE is in trend and the packages offered are very high. So, you can pursue this stream for your better career but make sure you do engineering from reputed Universities like IITs, NITs, Thapar, LPU, etc. The placements are also good and in terms of the study also. All the best.

Tashi · Answer

It is purely your discretion which domain you have to choose. Now-a-days the institutes offers B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Technology, Civil Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Robotics and many more. Every branch has a lot to learn and serves a wider scope but the point matters how you get the content, whether it is meeting the needs of the industry or not. I am a firm believer that if your input is good then the output will have to be best and it is purely applicable in academics. If your selected institution is good who puts a continuous effort with your efforts, automatically the learning and the placements will be marvellous. Likewise there are many institutes who offers Engineering programme such as IITs, NITs, VIT, PEC, Thapar and LPU, etc. I can throw some light on the efforts of LPU as one of my nephew studied his B.Tech from LPU. He preferred CSE as he was interested to be a Software Engineer. He told that Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is a major branch of engineering at LPU which has been designed primarily to suit the needs of the students who aspire to be the future engineers, managers or entrepreneurs with a strong grounding in accounting and finance. He also mentioned that the department provides exposure in the fields like Cloud computing, IoT, Data Science, Machine Learning, Big Data and many more which is as per the needs of industry. I was happy to know that the university has more than 200 national and international tieups with companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Automation Any Ware, SAP, CISCO, Google, Bosch, Qualcome, Texas Instruments, Cadence, and many more for placements, internships, live projects and teaching. Furthermore, he highlighted that LPU floats International Exposure Option where students may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to USA/ European countries or any other country as decided by the University subject to some conditions. He outlined that this University has a stellar record in placements as more than 700 companies visit every year for campus-recruitment of students from LPU. The companies which have visited as of now are: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Amazon, Cognizant Technology Solutions, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Amdocs, Capgemini, Verizon, SAP Labs, Hitachi Power, Videocon, L&T Technology Services, Ericsson, HCL Technologies, Asahi India, Ceasefire Industries, Sandhar Technologies, Indus tower etc.
