Hello.

Information technology: where you learn about processors, compilers develop algorithms etc. But at the end of the day it all comes down to your coding skills. Companies recruit you on the basics of how good a coder you are.

Electornics and communication: well you learn about microcontrollers and communication but keeping in mind that microcontrollers need to be programmed so you have to learn coding anyhow. And if you are dedicated enough you can use your little bit of coding knowledge on sites like codechef and develop your algorithms alongside.

Since most of the things are getting automated these days. People do need programmers. But automation also means lot of electronics. If you're an Indian and are willing to stay here then you must have heard about the H1B visa ban making most Indian programmers unfit for jobs in the silicon Valley. Well that is where all the big boys that can fetch you high paychecks recite. Also this news was well promoted that a mechanical engineer student was able to get job in Google developing his coding skills online which just proves that you can really replicate CSE/IT courseS through a bit of dedication.

So my personal view would be ECE is better than CSE/IT as it makes you fit for both worlds equally and with a bit of efforts you could do very well in your ECE curriculum as well as compete with most of your CSE/IT mates too. Not to forget how well your CV will shine if you are able to do that.

Conclusion

1. Please join ECE if you are only passionate about it. You may ask how will I get to know whether i am passionate or not without reading. For that you need to go through the whole syllabus of ece and just know the jist of it. Ece has mainly 3 divisions 1) VLSI 2) signal processing 3) communication. Based on my college experience VLSI companies are more( please don't compare the numbers with IT companies trey are a huge in number ) when compared to companies related to signal processing and communications. If you are planning for MS or research then you can take ECE. It will be good If u get seat in top colleges
2. If u don't have any passion or if u want to make money or if u have passion. u can choose IT. will be great if u get seat in top colleges. Otherwise u can get some t3 companies and then change to some good company.
3. In conclusion if u are Too passionate about ECE go for it otherwise choose CS/IT

HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

GOOD LUCK.
