Hi there,

Well, it is  a bit tough question to respond because it completely depends upon the mindset of an individual. Pursuing a degree from tier 1 has value and better opportunities as well as a good TAG in the resume. Job opportunities, academics and value is much more in TIER 1 colleges as compared to any other colleges of India. See, if you are interested in coding and wanted to do software engineering then for sure CSE branch is good but you are getting CSE branch in tier 3 college.

So, in this situation you can study on your own while being in a tier 1 college from non-cs background. You can prepare and learn coding on your own and in case if you feel any doubt then you can take help from your friends.

If you opt CSE branch in TIER 3 college then there will be less job opportunity, low packages and exploration under decent crowd.

So, better to go with TIER 1 seat, it will be worth it if you are confident that you can manage your coding journey with academics.

Hope this answer helps you.

Thank you!!!
