Hi everyone

I am about to enter college & face a similar dilemma. I've enjoyed phy & maths as a student & was hoping to do bsc+msc in physics but was not very passionate. I was strongly advised against it & told that engineering physics would be a good option as it would keep avenues open in both pure & applied physics. However i failed to get into iits & could not find any other reputed colleges offering EP. I now have an option of going into a low reputed EP course or to pursue electronics &comm. eng. in iiit H. I was told that I could pursue studies in pure as well as applied physics after B.Tech in ECE , though the curriculum seems to offer hardly any physics courses there. Will careers in physics still be open after ECE in iiitH(which seems to be more specialised than other colleges), or should I join EP in a low rank college?
please help
 
I would start with physics immediately. With that background you can later specialize in EE.
