Your stream should be decided by your interest.

In terms of job opportunities (in India), CS is better.

Hello Sarvesh, I would advise you to see webpage of dte of Maharashtra for details of eligibility. The process of registering has already begun. Better hurry up. Best wishes.

You can try for the counseling. Also, you can visit the campus and produce your marks over there then there is a change. Because your rank is not too low.

For B.Tech students, new hostels are provided which are poles apart from the old ones.
1. Rooms are shared by 3 students.
2. You will be given an Almirah, a bed with storage, study table with double storage.
3. Washrooms are cleaned daily but they are communal hence can't be said to have the best hygiene but again are kept clean.
Hostels provided to B.Tech are surely not in miserable conditions. Relax!
Hope this helps!:D
