Hi, I need help regarding making a choice.

i will be starting college in a few months. but im a little confused. i like chemistry and i want to get into research (renewable energy, nuclear energy interest me). but i've heard a lot of people say that chemical engineering is not what i think it is. also im from india, where there is not much emphasis on research so parents told me to pursue cse instead (cse& data science, which i feel like i can do). i wanted to know if there was any way of getting into chemistry again if i get a bachelors in cse, like maybe a masters so that in the future i can into research. or are there any courses that i can do to make myself eligible for a masters in chem.
