As per my understanding, There are many engineering branches with high earning potential. However, computer science engineering can be considered the best branch in engineering for the future. In almost every sector, computer engineers are in high demand due to the increase in software-driven devices. In the future, where AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning may have immense scope for development, graduates in computer science or related degrees have good job prospects.

Apart from IIT, top colleges for engineering are National Institute of Technology, R.V.College of Engineering, Delhi Technological University, College of Engineering Pune, UPES Dehradun, Chandigarh University,Geeta University, etc.

Both branches have good scope in future in terms of jobs. You should select the branch according to your interest and passion. CSE is the most demading branch foolowed by ECE.

Good Luck!!
