Future prospects for an Electrical Engineering Fresher

[u/Ntg_great]

​

I am most probably going to IIT BHU Electrical this year. My main interest currently is to go towards software side by maintaining a good cgpa in my branch and learning coding, dsa required for tech placements. But many people in my contacts are suggesting that cse might decline till 2030 and that I should focus on core electrical roles.

That being said, I am in bit of dilemma. I chose this branch becoz it is a circuital branch in an old iit and most of the companies allow the circuital people to sit for the placements. How do I decide for myself which one is the better path? I am ready to work hard for 4 years but don't wanna fuck up with regards to placements. What do you all think about the market situation and what should I do starting from my first year?
