greetings aafrin,

i would suggest you to go for engineering as the scope is vast.

if you study law, you will be restricted to law, but if you study engineering you can shift your career at any point of time.

forget that, btech has an international value, so you can get a job at any part of the world as a technical degree is always a sort after degree.

engineering from a good college can land you to a very successful person, so prepare for jee mains, burning the midnight oil.

if i talk about the pay, to become a successful lawyer, it may take severla years, but you can start earning the moment you complete your btech.

you can get jobs in the top MNCs lke microsoft, ibm, dell, wipro, ericsson etc.

hope this helps.

good luck

Hello Aafrin

I don't think it is possible to have exactly same amount of interest in two distinct fields, so you should think more about it. There are classroom lectures of almost every field available on YouTube, you can check out some lectures and see which ones you find more interesting. Consult with senior engineers and lawyers if possible and ask for their experiences.

If despite doing all these, you feel you have identical interest in both, then I'd say go for law. Given that you got admission in top institutes of both fields, I would assume that you are an intelligent person. So you would perform well in either as long as you keep working hard. I would suggest law because while in engineering you can make a lot of money and work for great organisations, if you choose a career in law, you will not only make money and work in great organisations, you will also command power and might even, at some time, work for the nation in a very high capacity. A majority of people who end up becoming MPs and Ministers have a law background. If this is something you might aspire for in the future, law is the way to go.

Engineering = usual choice these days, set pattern, good money.

Law = good money, power, but a path less taken as compared to engineering.
