What is the difference between ECE and CSE?

ECE is about electronics and how the different electrical components (Microprocessor, RAM, etc.) communicate with each other. It has more physics in it. There is a little programming involved but not much. CSE deals with telling these components what to do and when to do it; by programming them. It has a lot of logic involved and maths too. Placement wise, ECE is a little better than CSE as it has more offers in the public sector (govt. jobs). Also ECE is considered to be somewhat of a evergreen branch. If you do specialization (e.g. M.Tech in VLSI design) after doing B.Tech in ECE, there is a great demand in the market for such people. ECE person can also get a job in IT; but this is not the same level as a job a CSE engineer can get. E.g.: Intel, AMD, BHEL (and many other govt. companies) CSE also has very good placements and the average salary is higher than ECE. But it is not an evergreen branch. E.g.: Google, Microsoft, Infosys, etc. People say that ECE is more difficult than CSE. But I don’t really believe that; it all comes down to your passion. If you love CSE, you will find ECE hard and vice-versa.
