Hi,

The question really depends on what kind of job you would want to take up.

Obviously a person well versed with ECE core subjects will not take up a full fledged job focused on coding and vice versa. Although, these days, students who have taken ECE also have very good knowledge on programming as well and would like to enter that field.

The companies that appear for placement don't usually appear specifying which students they want from a particular branch. It's upto you to take up that job or not. So, it basically depends on which job you want to take up. If you want a Software Job, you would obviously require the skill set for that.

And it also depends on all your other projects and GPA of how you have performed in college as well.

All the best!
