Hii sunny,
EEE involve electronics and electrical study while ECE involve study of electronics and some part of communication.
- In core companies demand of EEE is more in comparison to ECE whereas ECE students can apply for IT companies as well.
- EEE students don't have mich scope in IES while ECE students have.

Hello.
Difference
EEE:In EEE, students have to studyElectrical as well as Electronics. It is the study and application of electrical systems for use in different environments and contains basic electronic courses and more power system.
ECE: Here, aspirants deal with Electronics with some part of communication. The subject uses the scientific knowledge of the behaviour and effects of electrons to develop devices, systems, or equipment that uses electricity as part of its driving force. Also it contains basics on electrical machines and more on integrated circuits and communication systems.
Difference in Course and Core Areas:
EEE:Electrical and Electronics Engineering branch deals with Electrical technology and machines, circuit analysis, electronics, electromagnetism, electrical engineering materials, instrumentation, control systems, power engineering and transmission and distribution.
ECE: This branch mainly deals with analog transmission, basic electronics, solid state devices, microprocessors, digital and analog communication, analog integrated circuits, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression. It also deals with the manufacturing of electronic devices, circuits, and communications equipment.
Year wise Comparison:
In the first year, both branches have same syllabus which varies from college to college but it mainly deals with basic electronic devices and circuits. So any one can easily switch between the two according to their interests even after first year. However there is some criteria which also varies from college to college.
Though, EEE is a rare branch in terms of availability and only 3- 5 colleges out of 10 would offer this branch, students can easily get ECE as branch in most of the colleges (7-9 out of 10 colleges).
EEE: In the second and third year, EEE syllabus mainly deals with EM principle, electrical machine, pulse, motors and generators, utilisation of electrical energy, gear switching and protection, and power system.
ECE: In the second and third year, ECE mainly deals with digital electronics, embedded systems, control systems, VLSI design, and wireless and radio communication systems.
In 4thyear there are elective subjects in both of the branches (out of which you have to select two) which deals with core knowledge of branch along with microprocessors and micro controllers. These electives decides your field of specialisation and in turn, placements.
Placements:
EEE: In EEE the competition is not very tough and the availability of jobs too are good. Electrical graduates are employed in Electricity Boards/Utility companies responsible for installation, maintenance, operation of power handling equipment and systems. Industries manufacturing large electrical machines and equipment employ engineers in design, production and testing. For individuals dreaming of JTO(Junior Training Officer), DRDO(Defence Research and Development Organisation), ISRO(Indian Space Research Organisation) andGATE, EEE is not a good choice. This is because they have a separate paper for ECE, while students pursuing EEE have to study a lot of other things. Besides this, EEE students cant take IES while ECE students can.
ECE:In ECE, the scope to land into government jobs is great. An electronics engineer can find a job in Central Government, State Governments and their sponsored corporations, private industries dealing in manufacture, sales and services of electronics consumer goods and appliances. Additionally, electronics engineers are also absorbed into the broadcast industry, research establishments, and defence.
Though in India core electronics companies are rare but the market is still flooded with job opportunities both in core and software sectors.
JOB : In this case ECE can be a much better option than EEE. An ECE graduate is welcomed more heartily at the door of the huge IT industry. You get much more exposure to coding being in ECE. Many subjects like basic programming , data structures and algorithms, operating system , computer organisation and architecture are common in the CSE, IT and ECE branches. Many IT companies allow only students with CSE, IT, and ECE degrees to sit in their interviews. Talking about core sector companies , they are quite less in number. However still there are companies like intel which give more preference to ECE graduates. Considering the public sector companies, the ratio of number of vacancies to number of students appearing is less for ECE branch making it a bit difficult for the ECE students in GATE or IES.However considering a summary of overall situation, getting a job for ECE student is easier than for EEE student .
RESEARCH : ECE syllabus and EEE syllabus are about 80%-90% similar to each other. So the research fields have almost same scope for both in the electronics sector. The difference comes when a ECE student has the chances of doing research in the computing field like parallel computing, embedded system technology and these are modern fields of research where most of present day researches are being carried. Therefore again ECE student has better chances.
GRADUATION DEGREE : If someones aim while doing engineering is just to get a graduation degree and then pursue his/her career in some other field like management/ civil services or anything else then EEE seems to be a better option. A ECE student has to study much more than a student of EEE branch (forgive me if I am biased being ECE student) and gets less time for preparation of CAT or Civil Services Examination. Even the Syllabus of Civil Services Exam has Electrical Engineering as a optional subject which has topics like power electronics, power systems, energy conversion which are not taught in ECE but are taught in EEE. Therefore in this case EEE seems to be a better option
Hope this is helpful.
Good luck.
