It has some demand in very specific sectors and even that is not very much. If a good institute is providing this course then it could be worth it. Otherwise, it doesn't has much value.

According to me, you should not change your branch as you will be new to textile technology and will lag behind the other students.

Textile technology is the branch which will further be classified into 2 parts according to the work in industry. when you will go for a job 2 streams will be there spinning and weaving.spinning is how to produce a yarn and in weaving you have to work on how to produce fabric from yarn.

You should go for the textile processing branch as you will have greater chances to get this branch.

Lateral entry seats are fixed in the college. In every branch 5-6 seats are reserved for the lateral entry. So, you should have higher rank under 150 to get this college.

It depends on the number of vacant seats in that branch. Moreover, you should have good marks in the 1st year, then only you can change your branch.

It depends on your marks in the 1st year because only a limited seats are vacant in that branch. So, the student with higher marks will get the preference. So, if your among the toppers of your college, then you should approach your registrar or the dean of students.

It basically depends on the number of vacant seats in that college. Sometimes even a higher rank student will not be able to get this branch. Generally, under 150 rank is desired.
