Congratulations, all are very good options. As discussed in the video , try getting more info about the options you are getting. To me it seems you have to choose between EEE/ECE and CSE. Try doing some courses and see which one you like more. As a generic advice EEE is more hardware oriented, like you work with circuits and all. CSE is more computer software work. Also talk to people in both fields.
Both are great & related fields , choose which you think you'll like more. Wish you well.
