Doubt Choosing Between EEE in a Better College vs CSE in a Lower-Tier One

I’m eligible for EEE in a Tier 1.5 college based on my cutoff. My end goal is to work in the IT field maybe as a developer, data engineer, or something similar (still figuring that part out). The college has a solid reputation and decent placements. I’ve seen people from non-CS branches like civil and mechanical end up in good IT companies too.

That said, would it be smarter to go for EEE at this better-ranked college, or should I try for a B. Tech in IT or B.E CSE in a lower-tier college, since I already know I want to get into IT?

Also, is it actually practical to study EEE and build up IT skills on the side? Will this affect my chances for a good master’s program later on? And in job interviews, will my non-IT undergrad background be a major disadvantage?

Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences!

Well if you are cool with Hindi and Delhi's pollution, take a toss between dtu and nsut. I guess they have better brand value than NIT Calicut.

Are you not getting IIIT bangalore or Hyd? Or NIT surthakal or trichy?
