Greetings!

Let's evaluate it step by step, can someone with ECE background learn to code and get placement in good company?

Well the answer to that is yes definitely one can, in fact many do.

So if you have interest in coding you must learn that, as it is a really good skill to have.

Now should you learn coding to get a tech company or focus on your branch?

Well you can do both, DTU is a respectable college and companies do hire people of ECE background for ECE job, and at the same time ECE people do get selected to various tech companies.

See what you need to understand is that you will have a lot of time in college unlike JEE days, here you can easily focus on your branch and learn coding, in fact your branch it self will have a good portion of coding courses. So don't worry about that.

Thank you
