Which B.Tech stream should I choose between ECE and mechanical engineering? I am appearing for 12th exams with biology and maths.

Both, ECE and mechanical engineering are good branches. Mechanical is core and old branch, while ECE is comparatively new. However, ECE is having a boost in coming days placement sector due to digitalization in India. Also, the packages for ECE are better than mechanical, but a bit less stability. So, you have to decide, good package or better stability. It sometimes takes time in mechanical branch to get settled at a high post for better income. Also, muscular work is done in this stream. As far as your aggregate score, it should be more than the cut off of the companies, these days it is around 8/10 (CGPA) for all engineering branches. Now, if you are in mechanical, and you want to get into best of the best companies, then you definitely need good management skills, and it doesn’t matter how good you are technically. This soft skill plays a crucial role in placements. I have seen people who are toppers in the department, but got placed after average scorers because of poor management skills. But in EC, companies are not so much specific about management skills, all they ask for is how good you are in your subjects. So choose wisely.

Choosing a stream entirely depends on your interest. If you are interested towards electronics and like to work in the field of electronics, you can choose ECE. And the placements are also good in ECE. Else, if your interest is towards the mechanical stream, you can take mechanical engineering.

You should choose ECE branch because it is the most demanded branch in the modern era because of the system with the automation. Each and every where the automation spreads the main branch ECE competes for the automation in the field of engineering.

B.Tech stream depend upon your interest that what type of thinking of yours so first think about it and choose like if you want to go for construction, surveying, irrigation, roads, railways, dams, bridge, etc. you can choose civil engineering. (I am also pursuing civil engineering from GNDEC, came in top in Punjab). If you are interest in machines then you can choose mechanical engineering. If you are interested in computer and software then you can choose CSE, etc.
