Should I take the ETC dept. in IIEST Shibpur or the EE dept.? Why?

The choice of the department for an engineering degree is a decision for one’s own career, which runs a lifetime. Among the above two options, it is better to choose EE than ETC, considering several factors discussed below.

• The whole point of the choice is done keeping the college as constant, i.e. - IIEST Shibpur. Now a day, there are mass preferences and several misconceptions wherein people think about the consequences. Instead, you should consider your own capability of working on that specified stream, and how to be better at it. 
• You should go through the course structure of both the branches before choosing the stream and then make a decision. In IIEST Shibpur, both EE and ETC have an excellent reputation.
• Electrical Engineering in IIEST has better opportunities, making use of the lectures of excellent professors of the electrical department. The laboratories of EE are a bit better than those of ETC.
• For students in Electrical Engineering, there are chances of working in association with Civil and Mechanical Engineers, being in high profile projects. Even EE students become in-charge of National and State-level thermal grids, which is a huge position to work at. 
• For students in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, most jobs are generally indoors, including Electronics Systems analytics, Electronics Design, etc. ETE, being close to CSE, also offers good tech giant IT jobs to students having sufficient programming knowledge.
• For GATE aspirants, ETC students get some amount of preference due to less difficulty in the syllabus. The syllabus mostly comprises subjects from their course, but for EE, there are subjects from both electrical and electronics, which becomes a huge syllabus to cover. 
• In Electrical Engineering, the rate of change of concepts is less with years, and so the degree shell life is 40-50 years. On the other hand, for ETC, the rate of change is quite fast, having a degree shell life of about 25-30 years, or even less.

These are some points that a candidate needs to consider before making a choice in the stream for IIEST Shibpur.
