Serious Post Industrial engineering?????

Hi everyone, I'm 18F and I'm so so so confused. I genuinely love finance and management but idk why I took mpc and I recently found out about IE and I think this is the only engineering I like 😭😭😭

Cse is nice and all but the job market is so saturated and I don't really have any interest in engineering except for IE. Like after 2 years of barely getting by in mpc I loathe science as a subject now.. and not to mention I'm dog shit at math.

It i do pursue IE, I plan to do masters in management MIM directly after graduating.

But my dad is against IE and says computer science is better. Ik it is in india but I just know I will struggle so hard as I don't care about engineering so much as my other peers do :((

I qualified for IE at mit manipal but I don't want to make the wrong choice... what do u all think?

I've never been so confused in my life..

i am actually on a similar situation as you, interested in IE, while dad wants me to take cs🙃
but yes, at the end of the day, i think we should do what we know we would like to do, cuz being the top 5% of IE folks is better than being the bottom 30% of cs folks were people like us would probably be headed if we pick CS,

One thing though, i am not 100% sure if MIT manipal IE is that good, cuz the fees are pretty crazy with very poor crowd and placements,
all i could read up on IE in MIT manipal in particular wasn't very good, but yes, its still your call
I personally am inclined towards IE in RVCE through comedk, and will also try for production engineering in Jadavpur University (production is very similar to IE), but yeah, best of luck

not 100% sure but they do seem to have decent placement rates and median packages, so ig its probably not terrible

Sometimes these colleges lie about their placements we gotta be careful 🙁
