COEP E&TC + VLSI vs CS/IT — need some advice

I’ve scored enough to have a shot at COEP E&TC OR PICT CSE, and I’m confused between E&TC and CS/IT.

I’m interested in electronics/chips, so I’m considering:

COEP E&TC → learn VLSI → prepare for GATE → maybe M.Tech in VLSI from a good institute→ semiconductor industry.

The other option is CS/IT, get placed after B.Tech and start earning around age 22.

I know CS placements are generally better, but entry-level software jobs seem pretty competitive these days. At the same time, I’m not sure if I’m overestimating the future of VLSI/semiconductors.

My family is financially stable, so I don’t really have pressure to start earning immediately. I’m also willing to put in the work.

So what would you choose if you were in my position?

Would COEP E&TC → VLSI → GATE/M.Tech be worth the extra 2 years, or is CS/IT + software job the smarter choice?

Would especially appreciate advice from people already in VLSI/ECE/software.

Seniors plz help

I'm about to enter ENTC branch in COEP Pune (Maharashtra's best engineering clg after iitb & nit nagpur

Companies like Texas Instruments came to campus placement Freq & hired 3 students for 40 lpa this year)

As I'm least interested in software & typical coding job roles,

Still I've seen many mixed opinions about vlsi industry that do mtech OR switch to IT & all such lore!!

Plz give me a suggestion as I'm fresher entering 1st year of btech....

Do core companies with package above 12 lpa come for placement?

OR switching towards IT companies will be better option...

I've bought macbook air m5 recently

But now when I'm reading the reviews they are saying it might be wrong decision for entc as 3rd–4th year: Professional EDA tools often need Linux/x86

So tell me all possible solutions here!!
