Hi Prakash,

ISE and CSE branches do not differ from each other that much.

ISE deals with software whereas CSE deals with software and hardware.

Placements wise, both branches are similar barring a few companies which only allow CSE students to apply.

But, I would suggest you go for CSE in SDM, Dharwad because you can go for Higher Studies in the CSE branch which will help you in getting a better placement.

Hope this helps you.

All the best!!!
