Hi aspirant,

I would surely suggest you to go with computer science and engineering core and not with specialisation in data science because it may limit your opportunities. When you have a core subject you will be thaught all the important concepts of programing and coding so you are free to opt for any specialisations at your will and whatever suits you the most you can master that topic for better employment opportunities. Now talking about what the problem is with specialisation in in data science if you have decided that you will make a career in data analysis and research then it is absolutely ok to go for it else you would feel it as a burden because it will increase the number of your credits that's the number of subjects you need to study.

Hope it helps!!
