Hello aspirant,

There's no wrong in any branch. Everything depends on the hard work of the student, be you're in the branch of biotechnology or biochemical engineering. And, most importantly, there's nothing like getting your branch upgraded and branch cutoffs in order to change your branch. It's changing your branch under the circumstances that you've no interest or you feel like you can't take up with this branch anymore or to be very honest, the study prospects of the particular branch is not up to your mark. If you want to change your branch, make sure you've scored more than 9 CGPA in the first year itself in both 1st and 2nd semesters and for that, you need to work harder. Getting a 9 CGPA or more than that is not that easy that you think from the surface. Check which branch is the most popular in study prospects as well as in placements, for example if it's CSE, then go for it. But at the end, you need to learn and develop your skills accordingly that can make you eligible to seat in the placements. Not only scoring more marks is important, but also applying your knowledge according to the given situation and practical experience will help you the most, no matter you're in any branch. At the end, hard work matters most. And every branch, be it mechanical, civil, CSE or ECE, is good at its own place and can't be compared with each other.

Hope, it helps you.
