Civil Engineering

When the question is among the college and branch, definitely go for the branch.
Simple reason for it is that you can change your college at any point in time but your branch comes along throughout the life. Also, a low branch from an elite institute will be a short-term comfort but a good hard work in core branch from an average college will be worth it and reward you more.
Best of luck.

After seven rounds of JOSAA counselling, if the majority or considerably large number of seats remain vacant in some colleges, then these colleges combinely Under Central Seat Allocation Board conduct a special round as a special opportunity to students who want to apply again.

Best of luck.
