hello

Choosing CSE will lead  you towards software companies which will definitely provide you a better pay package than a core ECE company will provide to an average student.
To be precise, you may get a PRIVATE job with a high salary structure.
On the other hand, ECE ,being a core branch,there is a good scope for GOVERNMENT jobs too.For example,
You can appear for competitive examinations such as IES with ECE as your  subject.
And the best part is ,you can still apply for software jobs if you are confident with your coding.
But honestly telling ,you will have to be exceptionally good at coding (if you choose ECE) to compete with a  CSE guy as far as "PACKAGE" is concerned.
So according to me , conclusion is (Assuming you are not biased for a particular branch):-
1)If you are seeking for a high package - Go for CSE!!
2)If you want a broader range of opportunities - Go for ECE.

hope this will help you 

Hello Augustin,

I would like to tell you that choosing ece or cse, depends upon your own interest and the ambition you have set for yourself.

But, yeah the cut off for cse is always higher than ece in most of the colleges. The two fields are one of their own kinds.

Choose the one which interests you.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
