Hello Moonmum,

Almost 60 % of the syllabus is same for ECE and EE,but the core subjects are different.

Main Difference

EEE: In EEE, students have to study Electrical as well as Electronics. It is the study and application of electrical systems for use in different environments and contains basic electronic courses and more power system. EEE-EEE actually goes deeper than just "motors & generators". You also learn more about electromagnetics & how high-frequency signals operate - this is the black-magic that's required to design computer & wireless Systems,one can make more money as an EEE.

ECE: Here, aspirants deal with Electronics with some part of communication. The subject uses the scientific knowledge of the behaviour and effects of electrons to develop devices, systems, or equipment that uses electricity as part of its driving force. Also it contains basics on electrical machines and more on integrated circuits and communication systems

Government Jobs:

Almost every PSU recruit through GATE examination.If you see vacancies for EEE and ECE,EEE have more vacancies and the number of students appearing GATE is less than ECE. So EEE people has edge here.

Private Jobs:

Generally,Software companies prefer ECE over EEE.

My suggestion:

If u want a government job,you should go for EEE.You really need to work very hard if you are from ECE background.

Thank you
