You haven't mentioned your location. But it seems you are Indian.You haven't even said what do you want to start ? IT, Civil, Mechanical, etc.  But according to question category It seems you are talking about IT etc.\n\n To become a software engineer, one should have mathematical skills, an analytical mind, proficiency in English and patience. Students who have passed higher secondary/Plus Two/equivalent examination with mathematics, physics, chemistry/computer science/electronics are eligible to acquire suitable qualification to become a software engineer, provided they have scored the necessary marks. Main entry can be through the four-year B.Tech. course in Computer Science and Engineering / Electronics Engineering / related branches. Five-year integrated software engineering programmes are also offered by few varsities/institutes for Plus Two holders with mathematics, physics or computer science as subjects. Another option is to take up B.Sc. Computer Science/B.Sc. with mathematics/or BCA and then go for the two-year M.Sc. computer science or the three-year Master of Computer Application (MCA) course. \n\nEngineering graduates in other branches such as civil, electrical can also become software engineers after obtaining short-term training in the relevant field. As a higher-study option, software engineering is also available at ME/M.Tech.-level for meritorious engineering graduates.\n\nCourses \n\n\nFour-year B.Tech. courses in Computer Science and Engineering/ Electronics/ Electronics and Communication Engineering/ Information Technology are available in several engineering colleges within and outside Kerala. In Kerala, admission to B.Tech. courses is (except NIT-Calicut) is based on the rank obtained in the State Engineering Entrance Examination. \n\nThose who have passed Plus Two/equivalent examination with 50 per cent marks in mathematics and 50 per cent marks in physics, chemistry and mathematics put together are eligible for admission to B.Tech. engineering courses. \n\nAdmission to B.Tech. and five-year integrated M.Tech. dual degree courses conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Institute of Technology (IT) under the Benaras Hindu University (BHU) and Indian School of Mines (ISM) Dhanbad are based on the rank obtained in the IIT-JEE. \n\nB.Tech. Computer Science and engineering courses are offered at all IITs - Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee, IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad. B.Tech. Electronics and Communication course is offered at IIT Guwahati and Roorkee, B.Tech. Electronics and Electrical Communication at IIT Kharagpur and B.Tech. Electronics Engineering at IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad. \n\nFive-year integrated M.Tech. dual degree courses in computer science and engineering are offered in the IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee and Madras and IT-BHU. Students who have passed Plus Two/ equivalent examination with physics, chemistry, mathematics and minimum 60 per cent marks in aggregate in their qualifying examination are eligible to appear for IIT-JEE (http://jee.iitm.ac.in). \n\nB.Tech. courses \n\n\nFour-year B.Tech. Computer Software Engineering is a rare course. It is available at the Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (Deemed University), Selaiyur, Tambaram, Chennai - 600 073. A pass in 10 + 2/ equivalent with 50 per cent marks in physics, chemistry and mathematics is required for admission (www.bharathuniv.com) . Selection is based on a national-level entrance test. In Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi will be the test centres. Higher-study facilities in M.Tech. software engineering are also available there. \n\nIntegrated M.Sc. \n\n\nA few engineering colleges conduct five-year integrated M.Sc. Software Engineering courses for Plus Two students with mathematics, physics, chemistry/ computer science and two-year M.Sc. Software Engineering courses for B.Sc. holders in mathematics or computer science/ technology. The following

I graduated with a BSECE from The Ohio State University.  Here is a link to our undergraduate handbook for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department.\n\nCheck out page 41 and look at the technical electives sub-sections for an idea of the specializations you can explore in computer engineering.  If you are curious what type of coursework those course numbers represent check out the second link (page 152 for ECE course listings).\n\nNow, this is just Ohio State's interpretation, but I would assume other ABET accredited universities and the industrial sector would follow a similar definition for computer engineering subsets.

Well, if you have the slightest desire to learn about the design and workings of the computer's hardware then you might want to consider Computer Engineering. If you are interested in programming techniques, operating systems, compilers, data structures, algorithms, software engineering methods etc then computer science may be right for you.\n\nIn computer engineering you will have to deal with the electrical/electronics engineering side of the computer.\n\nAs far as employment opportunities are concerned both have a good demand. Computer engineers can go a step beyond and work with Embedded electronic systems where in order to troubleshoot a program one may have to actually work at the circuit/board level with sophisticated electronic test tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers etc. A computer engineer is also involved in actual circuit level/board level design of the specialized computer on which he/she may develop a particular program.\n\nIn computer engineering program along with the usual computer science classes like programming languages, operating systems, data structures etc you can also expect electrical engineering classes such as circuit analysis, transistor level electronic circuits, logic circuits design and analysis, Microprocessor based systems design and interfacing with the real world analog circuits and sensors etc.\n\nIn my opinion the outlook for computer engineers is likely to be quite good. That said, very good computer scientists who are specialized in networking technologies can also expect a very good outlook.

- Since you are a B.Tech try Embedded Sofware Programming.\n- Get respectful placement, draw high salary, give a mean to your technical abilities.\n- Achieving M.Tech will add you more values and later try with courses like PMP, etc.,\n- Wish you all the best for your success.

You should critically anaylse your potential and the skills you have got in your graduation annd decide accordingly, either to take a plunge into the corporate world or go for some research work. For a person who has done it in Electronics and COmmunications, the opportunities are a plenty. Reply back with some more specifics.

Hi,\n    Murali here.No doubt you can do BCA after 10+2.But in my view if you talk about science field,there are lots of oppurtunities and earning too. If you are so intereted regarding computers then better go for BE/B.tech in IT or Computer Engg and then a master degree or MBA as per your wish.After this no doubt you will enjoy your career among the stars.\n   \n So take care & good bye dear.

To answer your first question, the pay is almost the same as long as you stablize yourself. But go for a major which you think will give you satisfaction working in long run. Pay is one of the factors to consider yes, but think of long run too. If you are comfortable being an electronic engineer then go for it. On the other hand if you think software is your deal, then go for software. Also, just because someone is electronics engineer, doesnt mean that they are not into computers. Some electronic Engineers do handle the computer networks too, which is the backbone of any company. They might be dealing more with computer hardware. If you are thinking of pay scale, well...there are so many computer hardware engineers and network engineers who make the same bucks. So think of what really makes you feel comfortable in the long run. When you are experienced enough, higher pay will automatically find you.\n\nComing to your second question.....oh..wait...i guess i answered this part in the first part of my answer itself. :-) Take care and good luck with your future.

Get in touch with the relevant Professional Institution for details of their qualifications and what courses lead to them. Initially, look up their web sites! For Electrcal Engineering, there is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Http://www.ieee.org), which is international and has national sections. For computing, in the United Kingdom where I live there is the British Computer Society (http://www.bcs.org), and there will be an equivalent in most overseas countries.\n\nAgain in the United Kingdom, the Open University is a leading provider of on-line courses (Http://www.open.ac.uk)\n\nThere are limits to the extent you can study Electrical/Computer Engineering on-line because you will need to do practical work to get a worthwhile qualification.
