For B.E./B.Tech. programmes
i. Physics
ii. Mathematics
iii. Any one of Chemistry, biology, biotechnology, technical vocation subject.
iv. A language (if the candidate has taken more than one language, then the language with the higher marks will be considered)

So there is no problem with computer science being your optional( as it has higher marks as compared to physical education)
