Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering vs Electronics & Electrical Engineering

Will be doing it from a local college. I like Electrical stuff: power supplies, power phases, motors etc, but many people recommend the ET. Btw, will telecommunications make any difference versus communications?

I love computer hardware (not so much the software side, but am okay with it); what would be the better line to go for if I want to get into R&D for computer hardware: designing motherboards etc?

Future prospects? Job opportunities? Value of the degree (EC vs ET)? Salaries?

Look at the syllabus of the streams to know the difference.

India is not a electronics hardware development hub. You will see jobs for verification and testing. Consult with others who are studying same to know about the job opportunities.

Salary wise you can expect ~20k less per annum compared to CS or IT. It's the average figure from campus placements. If you are good, you can earn more than CS. IT average.

Between CS, IT, EC (Communication) and EE, which have the best scope in terms of jobs, further studies, salary?
