Hello Vipul,

Between B.Tech in EEE (Electrical & Electronics Engineering) and ECE (Electronics & Communication Engineering) , here’s a simple comparison for placements, salary, and career growth:

1. Placements:

  • ECE: Generally has better placement opportunities due to a wider range of industries like IT, telecom, embedded systems, software, and electronics.

  • EEE: Good placements, mostly in power, energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, but fewer IT jobs compared to ECE.

    2. Salary:

  • ECE freshers often get slightly higher starting salaries , especially if placed in software or telecom companies.

  • EEE salaries can be good in power and core electrical sectors but entry-level pay is often lower than ECE.

    3. Career Growth:

  • ECE: Offers diverse career options in software, hardware, communications, and emerging tech like IoT and AI.

  • EEE: More specialized in power systems, electrical machines, and automation; good for jobs in utilities, power plants, and government sectors.

    Bottom line:

  • If you want more job options and higher starting pay , go for ECE .

  • If you prefer core electrical fields and power sector jobs , choose EEE .
