WRITE ONLY THE NUMBER OF BONUS QUESTION IN 9S1 AND 9S2 ,

Hey everyone,

I’m currently at a crossroads regarding my B.Tech stream selection and could really use some perspective from seniors and industry professionals here.

I am getting options for both Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at a Tier-2 college.

While I am trying to keep an open mind, I'm finding it hard to weigh the trade-offs between the two branches specifically within a Tier-2 ecosystem. Here is where my head is at:

• My Current Tech Interest: I have a basic understanding of programming (familiar with Java/OOPs/basic logic) and I don't dislike coding, but I haven't deeply explored hardware/electronics yet.
• The Dilemma: I know CSE is generally the "safer" bet for immediate IT/software placements. However, I’ve heard that ECE provides a lot of flexibility if I want to pivot to core electronics, VLSI, or embedded systems down the line—while still keeping software options open.

I would love to get your insights on a few specific questions:

1. Workload & CGPA: How brutal is the ECE curriculum compared to CSE? Is it significantly tougher to maintain a high GPA in ECE while simultaneously prepping for coding interviews?
2. Tier-2 Campus Placements: Do core electronics companies (like Texas Instruments, Intel, Qualcomm) actually visit Tier-2 campuses, or are ECE students there mostly reliant on IT companies anyway?
3. The "Open to All" Reality: Do top-tier tech companies visiting a Tier-2 campus allow ECE students to sit for software roles, or is there a strict branch barrier?
4. Long-term Outlook: Given the current tech market and advancements in AI/hardware, which branch do you feel offers better resilience and growth over the next 5–10 years?

If anyone who chose ECE at a Tier-2 college (and either stayed in core or moved to IT) could share their experience, that would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance for the help!

pls share your marks and opinion about the marks vs rank in 2026, and my rank is 76 and this year paper was quite difficult than last year, what colleges can i get at this marks ( cse ) ......
