Are there limited seats for choosing electives and minors, if yes then are they alocated on the basis of cgpa/ credit score.  
Also will the minor be written on our btech degree or will we get a seperate degree for it?

Yeah, minors and electives both have limits on the number of seats because the professors may only be able to handle a certain number of students. Some courses are very very popular and students may have to wait 1-2 sems to get allocation. Allocation may be based on CG or random.

But there are hundreds of courses available. It’s not a show-stopper.

Minor on degree → will find out.
