Both the branches are great in their own way, however, Computer Science holds an edge over ECE. Check out the following reasons to know why.

• You will not be solely dependent on college for learning skills. CSE/IT students have broader prospectus outside college too, due to coding culture and other such skills. You will not be bound by the 'IIT-NIT' thing.
• Most IT companies come for campus recruitment. Therefore, you’ll be given preference if you belong to the CSE branch.
• You will not be solely dependent on college for learning skills. CSE/IT students have broader prospectus outside college too, due to coding culture and other such skills. You will not be bound by the 'IIT-NIT' thing.
• Any NIT/IIT/IIIT is good for computer science as it does not require much hardware equipment. Just the provision of computers is enough. Hence, choosing computer science over core subjects will make your academic life easy too. Choosing this branch may also get you equal value to an IITian.

Undoubtedly, choosing CSE will be much beneficial to you in terms of placement, facilities, and additional skills.

For an Institute like NIT Raipur, both the branches of electrical or electronics telecommunication are worth taking. Below mentioned are some points about the branches which may help you in making a decision. 

• Both branches hold good placement statistics. Core companies usually opt for the electrical branch students while software-based companies go for the students of the electronics and telecommunication branch.
• The Department of Electrical branch has a decent reputation in college as this is a core branch which follows all the discipline and regulations.
• IES is open for the students for both the branches and thus choosing any one branch is no less than the other.
• When it comes to academics and scoring well; the students of both branches are exceptionally good. Ms. Jaya Jha from the Electrical branch and Mr. Shivam Singh of Electronics and Telecommunications bagged AIR-1 in Graduate Aptitude Test.

You can’t go wrong with any of these two choices, so choose the branch that interests you more.
