Firstly a little background on me. I am a 2024 pass-out. I was amongst the state toppers in my X CBSE with 98.8%. I have done my schooling from DPS Ruby Park. I got 94.6% in XII CBSE (PCM Computer Science). My father had passed away from blood cancer while I was appearing for my board exams and my jee didn't really go well. I got into IIEST Shibpur Civil Engineering in 2024. I am really interested in Computer Sciences so I thought would be able to change my branch. I missed 3 of my 2nd sem exams for dengue fever and they won't allow me to appear for the branch change. (1st Sem SGPA 8.6/ would be able to easily get a CGPA of 8.8 if they allow me to sit for the exams before branch change) Since I had to study for my college, couldn't really focus on JEE, but can get into ECE, IIEST Shibpur and start afresh. I request your help in choosing what I should be pursuing now, CS in newer IITS like sonepat, kottayam etc..( I do have financial constraints) or ECE in IIEST Shibpur (can i pursue MS in CS abroad?) or Civil Engineering in IIEST (would save my year/can I move into CS later?). I just want to remind that I am really into computer science and have good knowledge in Python, DBMS, OOPS, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. My peers whom I mentored once are targeting the FAANG so there is that FOMO.
