ECE S5 elective confusion — which one should I pick if I like programming and hate mugging up theory?

I’m an ECE student going into Semester 5 and we have to submit 3 elective preferences soon. I’m attaching the syllabus photos in the post, so the course names and modules are there.

A bit about me: I like programming and problem solving much more than memorising theory. I’m okay with concepts and math if they are logical and understandable, but I genuinely struggle with subjects where the main thing is byhearting pages of theory and reproducing them in exams. I’ve also been learning programming/web dev outside college, so I’m trying to choose electives that are actually useful long term and interesting to study instead of just taking the easiest paper.

Right now I’m leaning towards putting the programming-oriented subjects higher in preference, especially the ones related to Data Structures or ARM/embedded programming, but I’m still confused after looking through the syllabus.

Not interested in estimation paper and idk what is high speed digital design

My doubts are:

- Which of these electives are actually useful long term?

- Which ones are more concept/problem-solving based instead of heavy memorisation?

- Are the ARM-related subjects genuinely practical and interesting or mostly theory?

- How difficult is the math in Estimation and Detection?

- Is the Data Structures syllabus enough to build a solid foundation?

- Should I avoid core ECE-heavy electives if I’m more interested in programming/software/embedded side?

I’d really appreciate opinions from seniors or anyone who has already taken these subjects regarding:

- difficulty

- workload

- scoring

- practical usefulness

- resources/YouTube channels

- what the teaching/exams are usually like

Also, if someone is willing to check the syllabus photos and give a more detailed analysis or recommendation order in DM, that would genuinely help a lot.

My first ranting

"If she leaves me to marry a rich man that is ready to settle down... She made the best decision of her life.

But if I make money and decide to leave her because she is no longer my taste... I am ungrateful"

Not my words but i know of such scenarios personally

And this is kind of true to the most part

So what do yall think

I’ve been thinking a lot about telling you this, and I don’t want to keep it to myself anymore.

I’ve started to feel more than just friendship for you.

I don’t know what will happen after I say this.

On a small chance that you feel the same, I’d be really happy… but I’m also prepared that you might not.

You might see me only as a friend, or say I’m not your type, or maybe you already like someone else. I understand all of that.

What I keep thinking about is—what happens after?

Will we still be the same? Will we still be friends?

Because even if you don’t feel the same way, I still want you in my life.

But I also understand if this changes things for you, or if you need distance.

I just didn’t want to lose you without being honest first.

So I’m telling you how I feel, even if it scares me.

Whatever your answer is, I’ll respect it.

Not from some big budget. Not from family money.

From cricket grounds, sweaty afternoons, and calloused hands.

Local club matches under the sun…

Weekend tournaments where the prize money barely felt enough…

Playing for teams that ran on passion more than resources

Match fees, small winnings.....

I saved whatever I could.

And when cricket wasn’t enough…

Days spent picking peppers.

Stripping coconuts, selling them off to oil traders.

Doing whatever work came my way.

Every rupee had a story.

Every component I bought felt like a milestone.

And then one day… it all came together.

That first boot-up wasn’t just a PC turning on , it was proof that effort compounds.

That something real can come from small, exhausting days.

I remember just sitting there, staring at the screen longer than actually using it.

Now… it’s mostly gone.

Sold piece by piece.

Partly because there was no one left to use it with…

and somewhere along the way, I lost the will to fix it , even when all it needed was a new motherboard.

So I let it go.

All that’s left now is the cabinet, PSU… and the memories of building it.

But I don’t regret it.

Because I know I can do it again.

And maybe this time, I’ll build it not just to run games — but to keep something alive.

If things go right, I’ll build a new one by the end of this year.

So… what’s your first PC build story?
