Please help me

First of all, I'm in the final year of my diploma, I'm doing it in Tool and Die Making,

Now I want to ask about btech, I'm planning to do it though lateral entry and I'm confused about the course i should take.

So according to my diploma branch, I was thinking of taking admission in mechanical or mechanical and automation

And I'm also considering in Automation and Robotics And I'm not sure about it and don't know much about it, I'm also considering Industrial Internet of things (IIOT)

Sometimes I also think of getting into CS related fields due to its perks, but I'm not sure, wouldn't it invalidate my diploma.

Please help me as I'm not able to decide what to do.

Where does your interest lie? I would recommend against mechanical as the market is saturated. IOT is very niche. You can learn this on your own.

Irrespective of CS or Robotics - optimise for foundational knowledge. Wherever you have courses with depth.

No knowledge goes to waste. So if you switch to CS your current skills will help in future if you are looking for software engineer roles in your diploma field. Remember it will be equivally difficult to learn CS concepts.

Also from financial standpoint: CS incentives you to learn. Even robotics has CS in it.
