College of Engineering or Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences

<p>I’m from New Delhi, India, going to submit my application in a few weeks.
I was wondering whether to apply into LAS or college of engg. I’m oriented towards STME, but I also want to explore the field of economics
How easy or difficult is to take up electives in state universities? And how do pure sciences differ from engineering? Yes, I know one’s theoretical and one’s applicative. I mean is there any institutional difference between the two and which is easier to enter?</p>
