What are the differences and similarities between CSE and ECE?

“Difference & similarities both are up to the individual that at what extent he want to learn.”
I will start here with similarities.
See either it’s ECE or CSE both are Considered as one of the best Branches and elected by mostly Top Rankers. Now lets dive and find that what is similar in these two branches-
  • Programming: It is something that is Common between both the branches. While one might argue that CSE is totally related with programming while ECE is not. So as i said earlier that it is upto the student that how much he want to learn. If i talk here only in reference of syllabus than ECE student only have to studies C, C++ as a computer programming. But i have seen some students who learn Python, HTML, CSS, Java Script, Big data, Java etc. despite belong to the ECE Branch.
    • I can give my example as well that i am an ECE student but i learn HTML, CSS, MySql by itself and created my website. So its totally depend on Individual that how much he is hungry for learning.
    • On the other hand for CSE student i will say that they can also learn some software courses of ECE students like Matlab, Labview, Embedded etc. It will surely Enhance your skills & You will be considered on top among the bunch of students.
  • Job Profile: It can also be same but not certain. If an ECE graduate works in IT industry than he might have the same job profile which the CSE students may have.
  • Academics: Academics wise ECE students have to study some of the subjects of CSE students.
  • Now lets talk about Differences in these two branches:
    • Job Package: It may be huge. If we check out some states of Premium colleges of India than we find that highest Salary package is mostly grabbed by CSE students. But if we talk here in terms of average than too CSE students are ahead than ECE students. And this difference increases on when we check states in Premium Colleges. (Note: I am assuming here that students from both the branches are doing their core jobs)
    • Job Location: ECE student in India mostly work in Bangalore city because mostly Companies which belongs to Electronics domain are in Banalore besides it they might also get job in Noida and other cities while CSE graduates can find job all across the India in any city because CSE based companies are not commulated on any particular cities.
    • Government job Prospective: Sorry for CSE students because their Stream is not available in IES exam. But students from Electronics & Communication can easily apply for this Exam. CSE Students can apply too but they have to give this exam with some other stream.
    So, these are some of the basic differences and similarities between ECE & CSE branch.
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Quora answer on I’m a 3rd year ECE student interested in programming and networking. Should I go in for a network admin or embedded software?

Its quite common Dilemma among the ECE Undergraduates. Infact i know some of my seniors who did their M.Tech in different specialization & doing work in some other field. So, first of all its up to you That in which field you want to make your career. I will suggest you if you have ardent interest in any of the field then choose that field. So you can enjoy your work and make significantly growth in your career. Now here i am providing an comparison between these two on different parameters- Salary-  From salary point of view embedded field (Software Engineer, Developer, Coder ) dominates somewhere over Network administration field (DevOps, Ops, SRE etc). But the difference is not too much. But it is not always certain. Salary also depend upon timing, Location, Personal Skills and much more. you can check these two links to check the salary of these two fields- Salary: Network Administrator Salary: Embedded Software Engineer 2.  Pressure of work: Network a...

What are the simple businesses for startups this year?

There are so many ideas on which work can be carried out & now a days most of the graduates are working on these ideas. But the important thing here is that  in which field your ardent interest falls . You can start working in any field, You could also have a fantastic idea but if your interest does’t fall in that then you will sabotage it quite easily. Never think that your idea is quite common and any one can steal it . No not at all. Let us suppose For a moment why anyone have not produced yet another google/facebook/apple etc despite we have one of the best programmers all across the world. Because of their unique selling property. Its the quality of your product which anyone can not produce. And you can only bring that quality in your product if you do your work with full interest. So Idea could be anything but make sure that you have lot of interest in that. So when you will work on that idea then it will create the history.  Here i will suggest some of t...
