Hello aspirant,

It depends on your interest and only you can decide which branch is better for you. First let us understand the difference between these two engineering branches. Both Electrical Engineering & Electronics and Communication engineering are the core engineering branch.
Generally in electrical engineering you study about the power system,  electrical machines, power electronics, switch gear and protection. Network or circuit theory and EMFT. While in ECE you generally study about analog and digital electronics.

Hope you understand,
Thank you.
