IIT Delhi or IIT Kanpur for electrical engineering? Also, I really dont know what my interest is in, how do I know if electrical engineering is right for me?

As far as the choice of the Institute is concerned, I will recommend you go for IIT Delhi instead of IIT Kanpur. Here are a few reasons that support my recommendation

• Ranking-wise, IIT Delhi Electrical is better than IIT Kanpur.
• Location-wise too, IIT Delhi fairs are better than Kanpur considering its central location. Moreover, it has the facilities of coaching institutes nearby, making it possible for students to prepare for higher exams

Coming to the choice of the branch, it might be difficult for some to identify their area of interest as of now. However, I can give you a slight info into both of the most preferred branches viz CS and Electrical.

CS: It comprises abstract math and algorithms. It involves step-wise problem-solving concepts wherein you get an answer after following a clear pattern. If this is your forte, then CS is for you.

Electrical: If you like playing with circuits and have an interest in dealing with graphs and their analysis, EE is for you.

As a side interest, you can always opt for open electives after the 2nd year that allows you to pursue more than one branch at a time. Truth be told, the packages offered to CS students are bigger than those offered to EE students.
