You can opt for B.Tech in any branch you are interested in. If you want to join core companies then go for Mech, civil, EC, EE. If you don't want to go for core companies and rather want to pursue your M.Tech, then it depends upon your interest in which field you are interested. If you are interested in maths and coding, you can go for CSE IT. These are the options you can always go for. You can start preparation mid 2nd year or in third year. But early is best. So, 2nd year will give you sufficient time to solve problems. All the best.
