Hi Aspirant

This kind of dilemma is faced by a lot of students during JOSAA counseling. There cannot be any one answer to this kind of question. So you must keep in mind the following facts:

a) Which branch interests you more? If a particular branch interests you more go for that irrespective of the College because branch is more important than the college.

b) If any particular Branch doesn't interest you going for the older college is advisable because you will know about the placement statistics and have a better Campus.

c) Location must also be considered. Which college's location gives you the advantages over the others go for that college.

While choosing the branch you must have a look at the career options available for that particular branch. Gather as much information as you can about that particular field from the people associated with that field.

Hope this helps and All the Best.
