Hello aspriant

hope you are doing great. As per your query  I would glad to tell you that in my opinion you should go for college over branch because at the end the goal of majority of the students is placement for which you need college of very good brand . Moroever , if we talk about branch in placements student of all branches sit together only so if you keen interest in coding and have potential to score dsa then you will easily be placed in from chemical stream too

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