Engineering education has expanded fast in India during the last three decades. However, all branches of engineering education have not grown at the same pace. While standard traditional branches like mechanical, civil and electrical engineering have bad been popular for a long time, areas like electronics engineering, computer science engineering and information technology related engineering have evolved fast in the recent years. Senior secondary school graduates face a dilemma of making a rational choice in selecting the disciplines of their study. Using the data collected through a survey of about 7,000 students enrolled in 40 engineering institutions in four different states in India, an attempt has been made in this paper to examine the determinants that explain students' choice between 'traditional' and 'modern'/ 'information-technology-related' branches of engineering, by estimating a probit regression equation. A few sets of major factors - individual, household, academic background of the students, current education, future employment prospects and further educational aspirations etc., have been identified and used in the probit analysis and the results are discussed in detail.
