Hello,

The primary difference is that electrical engineering deals with power , electrical machines and its control systems whereas electronics deals with semiconductor devices, circuits and communications.

Electronics engineering has courses on semiconductor devices, microprocessors, communication systems, signal processing, wireless systems, Analog and Digital Circuits including VLSI. These topics require a good knowledge of physics i.e. electromagnetic theory, circuit theory and very good logical skills which will be taught in the B.Tech course. Electronics also has some courses from the electrical engineering dept.

Electrical engineering has courses in electrical machines like motors, transformers, power transmission, control systems, circuit theory etc. These are more focused towards power utilization, efficiency and its control. Both are exceptional branches and you should choose one based on your topics of interest.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
