Hello aspirant

hope you are doing great. As per your query  I would glad to tell you that answer to this question varies on person to person but in my opinion persuing cse stream is better than persuing course in machine learning because machine learning is part of computer science  . In majority of companies who visitf for campus placement ,they look for students with strong data structures and algortithm mainly and then on projects having technologies like ML so persuing cse is any time is better

Hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future
