Should I take IIT Gandhinagar CSE or IIT Guwahati ECE?

CSE Gandhinagar is a better option than ECE Guwahati and the main factor is the branch. Both the branches are totally different irrespective of the fact that you can learn to code in ECE. You will be given some coding knowledge in the ECE branch but then CSE is all not only about coding. It’s a way beyond that. CSE has all structures of mathematics which includes statistics, logic, algebra, probability, calculus, and much more. 

Below mentioned are some courses offered in CSE.

• CS 321: Algorithm analysis and design
• CS 322: Discrete mathematics
• CS 324: Devising interactive web applications
• CS 421: Information security
• CS 422: Data mining
• CS 424: Sensors, phones, and cloud computation applied to hazard mitigation
• CS 425: Introduction to computational complexity theory
• CS 426: Markov chains and queuing models
• CS 427: Reliability engineering and many others 

Apart from the branch, Both the colleges are exceptionally good. IIT Gandhinagar is a well-established college. Whereas IIT Guwahati is a college that is nearly 14 years older than IIT Gandhinagar. 

The cut-off ranks for ECE at IIT Guwahati and CSE in IIT Gandhinagar are as follows.

Talking about the branches, CSE has been in the trend. The demand for software engineers is constantly growing with the evolution of Artificial Intelligence(AI), Machine Learning(ML), and Data Science. The placements are decent. There are many start-ups related to ML and AI which have the investor’s eye. If the students are from IIT’s they are well paid in every sort. Plus, IIT Gandhinagar is one of the prime institutes that furnishes all the exciting opportunities applicable for a student's overall growth.

Whatever, be your choice, both the colleges are great and you will definitely enjoy your years at these institutes.
