Ans: Hi. Congratulations on getting Mechanical in Thapar. You are interested, but parents requesting to opt for CSE. Your concerns are good but working in the mechanical field by a lady is a difficult job. If you are so interested to do career in Core branches, then at least opt for Civil / Electrical. Do a lot of research in the Electrical field related to energy. First, complete UG and then PG, and then complete your Phd. I think your parents are thinking in the right direction.
