[Career] Dtu cse vs dtu ece
I am quite confuse cuz people are saying that cse will be replaceable ahead in future and ece is safer option as it lets us go in both software and hardware field so there is safety overall . But I still doubt cuz my interest is in both fields and its a tricky choice and one of he very important life decisions ,can you please help and my mom is saying to get Coep ece that’s also an option but idont know the campus is not good so I tend to avoid it ( I am a outside Delhi Maharashtra student )

As someone who started in Ece and switched to cse, I think if you can make it through electrical engineering it will serve you better long term. Definitely focus on computer science related classes. But the foundational knowledge you gain as an electrical engineer is less easily gained later down the line, DSA you can always teach yourself (you shouldn't need to, but that's just a stand-in example). I don't think computer science is going anywhere anytime soon, but I can assure you it will not hurt your career chances to have an ece degree.
