Hi,
Data Science is a really good field to work in and there are various ways you could do that as well.
I would suggest you to take Engineering first and then move forward from there.
You can do Computer Science and Engineering as well, because programming and mathematics plays a huge role as well in becoming a Data Scientist.
In this way you can have a Plan B as well in case you decide to change your mind later. CSE offers a wide range of fields to work in.
You can also do various online courses to improve your knowledge during your free time as well.
Hope this helps, All the Best!
