Hello Aspirant! 

Both the branches are quite important in their own right and both have great career prospects. What you should really consider while choosing an option is that what interests you the most. Because if you opt for something that you are not passionate about, then you won't be able to make anything of it, despite the various great prospects of the stream. So, go with what interests you the most. Get information about the two streams and see which one grabs your attention.
