Heyyy! I wanted to ask you some things cuz I might join EEE branch in VIT soon. (Most probably will if i dont get a good rank in Adv)
I enjoy math. I like calculus and algebra and im ready to study harder aspects of the subject too. I heard EEE is math heavy and i have no problem in working hard in math.
But, physics. How much physics is really there in EEE? In 11th and 12th, physics was my least liked subject. I could solve JEE level questions, however, i had no interest in actually learning or understanding the subject.
I hated Mechanics. The only intetesting thing in physica for me was the electricity part (current, AC, EMI, magnetism). I lowkey liked thermal physics too.
So, do my interests align with the course taught in EEE? I mean, even if they dont, i'll have to study it if i dont get a better seat in a better college.
Also, while studying for EEE, is it possible to also do programming (in code-forces and leetcode?) so that i can sit for software interviews? Im asking cuz i did some research on placements in VIT, and 90% companies coming there are software oriented.
And, hows the sex ratio in class? I know every college is different, but i just hope there will be a good enough no. of girls in my class.
Thanks in advance!

@authorsakshiii aw thanks for the input, i appreciate it. I was actually really depressed thinking i'd have to give up programming if i was to join EE. I think at least i'll do coding a little bit for fun, i think rhat would be enough? AND IM GLAD THE SEX RATIO IS BETTER WOOHOOO And, in first year in VIT, we are taught python & C++ (for all branches) [i checked the syllabus] so i guess thats a good thing. Your words have really made me a tad bit relaxed and excited about my branch. Thank you, genuinely. Maybe i'll text you again after my first sem <3

@thesparkwithin thats exactly the part in physics we have for electrical, we delve more into EMI, Magnetism topics along side two huge subjects Power Systems and Machines 50% depend on these basic concepts. Mechanics part is not that much, it is a major part in mechanical branch, however we did it in our first year as a part of curriculum designed for us. I think they do align with the subjects that are taught in the course if you do like those parts of physics, it's more like getting into depth and exploring newer sides of it. You might have programming as electives which I guess you can opt for as a subject in the curriculum (it happens that way in my college not sure about VIT(I hail from a local 3rd tier college)) You can prepare for yourself, no doubt about that but remember it will be double the efforts to learn core subjects and this as well! But, there are people who did it too! About the sex ratio in class, Generally it's better than other core branches like mechanical and civil. ECE again gives a tougher competition for the no. of girls, they have more compared to EEE but when you compare to mechanical where there are barely any, we do good, not too good, not too bad!
