  Seriously, I dun see the interest.
  
  Because when in Poly, you should have thought of what you want to pursue, you will carry on.
  
  If take biz in Poly and taking Eng in Uni, it is going to be very difficult. Because you lack knowledge in electricity, and many more. Neither are they really going to repeat as it is a big chunk of knowledge to pass into

  Let's put it straight
  
  Change your course in uni because of passion, but remember, you may have to spend 4x more time to understand the topic
