greetings,
trust me, the placements and jobs for both IT and CSE engineers is the same.
all it depends is on you marks and personality.
go for that branch in which you are more comfortable.
compare the syllabus

however, if you are still skeptical, go for CSE. it is a more sort after degree.
hope this helps.
good luck.
