I need guidance to choose my electives as computer engineering student

In summary, the elective you should choose depends on your interests. Electronics engineering is easier than computer science, but big data technologies is the easiest elective.

How do I choose a good elective?

I want something that gives me good marks as i am in final year 2nd semester. I want something that has good courses over the internet. I don’t want you to pick it up for me but in general just guide me about how to choose the elective? I will put only ones that I am interested in.
Last semester I choose data mining as elective instead of biomedical instrumentation which was easier, and I suffered a lot, I don't want to suffer like that.

I am someone who finds electronics engineering subjects easier than computer science subjects TBH.

-> Agile software development. https://www.ioenotes.edu.np/ioe-syllabus/agile-software-development-elective-ii-1608
This is the syllabus.

Is a class on compilers a requirement for your CS degree, or an elective? It was an elective for me, and turned out to be my most interesting CS-oriented class (I did EE/CS in undergrad).

Sadly there is no class on compilers at all, neither elective nor regular.
