Electronics Engineering

In India, no university is offering B.Tech or BE degrees in engineering and technology. This type degrees in distance education has banned by government of India. Up to 2009 JNTU Hyderabad, Andhra university Visakhapatnam Nagarjuna university Guntur Karnataka university Mysore,and IGNOU New Delhi offered this type degrees. and AMIE of institution of engineers Calcutta also offer this type. In this AMIE is only recognized by government of India and no other university in India having the recognition by HRD ministry.
So, please note no university recognized by government of India and UGC. But, this matter is under the consideration of UGC to allow the universities to offer the graduation and post gradation courses in technical education. If you do any such unrecognized courses those will not useful to get any government jobs and not eligible for higher studies. These are just waste of time and money.

Hello,
As per the curriculum of ECE, there will be subjects on electronics and communication like analog electronics, digital electronics, microprocessor, microcontroller, embedded system, network theory, Signals and systems, DSP, analog & digital communication, satellite communication etc. In EEE electrical core subjects like power system, transmission & distribution, electrical machine, etc., and some basic subjects of electronics. In electronics and instrumentation engineering. With the subjects of core electronics (mentioned above) and instrumentation subjects like transducer, electronics instruments and measurements, control system, etc.
Good luck.

I am neither a career advisor nor an educationist. I am an ECE graduate currently working as an IT/Software professional. Also, the answer caters specifically to the Indian engineering diaspora. So take my answer with a pinch of salt.
Short answer-
If you strictly have to choose between these two branches in the Indian academic system, go for IT if you want to be closer to a CSE program. The IT program though contains courses encompassing the management and commercial aspects of the industry, you'll still get the minimum or even more coursework required for a career as a software developer or computer scientist in the future.
ECE is what you get in a traditional EE program at the IITs curricula-wise, minus some advanced courses and those pertaining to heavy/power/systems/high-voltage engineering.
There is no question of better - both will teach you analytical skills - though IT will give you an edge in terms of campus placements in a tier-2/3 engineering college in India (ignore this aspect for a premier educational institution like the IITs). But again if you can write code or learn to write code while not being a CS/IT major, you won't end up broke when the dust settles.

Mechatronics is an upcoming branch of advanced engineering carrying a huge bunch of potential in it when we talk of job security and opportunities in the coming times. Answering your question, the branch shows more inclination towards mechanical engineering by an approximate rate of 10% because mechanical itself involves imparting you the knowledge of machine building, machine operations etc. Electronics acts as an additional flavour to it. Yet, if your question is considered at academics and theoretical level (exam+books) you will have to study both on equal terms and pass your exams but when you talk of practical implementation and industry level scope, yes you may neglect electronics part a bit and yet you hold a scope to avail a relevant job.
