I have friends who pursued both IT and Mechanical from CUSAT and as per their experiences, both are equally good. Firstly, you need to understand what your pool of interest is. However, if you are open to both the courses without any specific choice, here are some insights for both the branches:

IT at CUSAT:

You can get better job opportunities in the IT field according to the placement stats of CUSAT, which is pretty common in most engineering colleges of India.
If you choose IT, keep yourselves updated with IT through MOOCs or even paid diploma courses which will really help you in the future.

Mechanical at CUSAT:

Mechanical engineering consists of a whole gamut of software unlike IT which needs you to develop that particular software being.
Here, mechanical will be super useful as leverage.
At CUSAT, placement statistics for mechanical are also good but not better than IT.

Categories	IT at CUSAT	Mechanical at CUSAT
Course Fee	46,600 (1st year)	46,600 (1st year)
Highest CTC	14-15 LPA	10 LPA
Average CTC	5-6 LPA	3.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Wipro, Infosys, Capgemini, Oracle, etc.	Vedanta, Daikin, ONGC, IOCL, etc.

All in all, you need to choose the field according to your interest as these will be the career-building years. Nonetheless, if you are open to any field, IT is the best option.
