Hello ,

As your query is concerned that you want to know whether an ECE branch student can become a software engineer or not. I would like to tell you that yes a person from the ECE department can become a software engineer. Listed below are some of the ways by which ECE department student can become a software engineer : 

1. Learn at least 3 in market computer languages like C, Java, C++, Python etc.

2. Take part in various coding competitions based on your skills and get certified by various coding institutes.

3. In the final year apply for some software based internships and give a preference that you can work on a technical programming job. 

Further, if you want to know about some of the coding institutes and other confined details from above you can let us know in the comment section below. 

I hope your query is solved. 

Thank you.

Yes , an Ece student can become software engineer if you  have  proper skills and knowledge about how to develop a software . If you know how to write codes and algorithms , you can definitely become a software engineer.  You should know the in and out of the software  for example  : its database , its design , its development  , the tools  and have the ability to fix any issues  and apply any modification to be done and also have the ability to learn deeply and solve any problem.

Hii,

The Answer is obviously Yes. Now a days  many Software companies are recruiting the BTech students irrespective of the streams. Moreover Software Companies are looking for ECE students after CSE and IT people. So if you can pursue your graduation from a good Reputated College you will definitely get a software job.

Hello aspirant!

You can't become a software engineer if you take up ECE branch. But this is known quiet widely that ECE stduents get jobs in IT sector companies a lot. They are required to have slight knowledge of programming languages and they get placement in software companies. I hope this information was helpful!

I wish you all the very best!
