Well, both are good but if I have to choose one I will go with Engineering and that too in CSE. Computer Science will remain the most sought out branch for the foreseeable future. However, it is equally important to know, what interests you?
For CSE you should target for:
1. Bits – Pilani.
2. DCE
3. NSIT
4. BIT – Ranchi.
5. UPES – Dehradun.
6. UTM.
7. Thapar - Patiyala.
8. ISMU – Dhanbad.
9. UPTU Government colleges (HBTI, IET, BIET, MMM, KNIT).
10. VIT University.
All are good but among these UPES and UTM offers specialized CSE programs and have a number of specializations to choose from and all in collaboration with IBM. Admissions notice is already out so hurry up. Get the details from websites or Institutes and apply at the earliest.

Kalyani,
What course do you want to know about? There are several careers in media in writing, production or post production. You can become a reporter, actor or getting behind the camera to direct, cinematograph or do finishing work as an editor, compositor or a VFX artist who can add reality to 3D visualizations. You may even be a graphic artist who designs the screens, or an animator who brings stories to life as a proxy actor for onscreen characters.
You can get into production, whether live or animated. You can be a story writer who writes for live and animated screens or even roll the story into a video/ pc game. You can be a script writer who would stop at nothing to give wonderful scene setups to bring the story to life. You could be an artist who designs characters or who storyboards the film for live or animated performance. You can also double up as a voice over artist who gives his/ her voice to the characters or dub for movie stars, or even be a radio star.
You can alternatively look at web for a web of careers in web design, online marketing, search engine optimization, content writing, social media promoting. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, VFX, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. Some people are passionate about acting - they must understand that acting cannot provide jobs since this is an assignment based industry and one must fit the role. So, it could be better to enter this industry after acquiring a technical skill.
Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion & expression ability.
