Hello sir , I have passed my 12th exam. I want to carry on my studies in field of computer education. But I am confused between the two streams to begin with COMPUTER SCIENCE and ELECTRONICS. Could you please tell me which has more scope after completion of course? Why more and more toppersof competitive exams want to pursue computer science and NOT electronics in the top institutes ?

Dear career aspirant

Welcome to CareerGuide.com.
We guide you to a proper and perfect career.

You have taken a good decision to pursue either electronics or computer science after completing plus two. I shall wish to see it a good step towards a bright career and future. In what ever way you see, both shall never loose its brilliance in the future.

Your question itself have the answer you are seeking. More and more people are choosing computer science. Not because of electronics are not lucrative, but because electronics are a bit tough to learn and is supposed to be more creative than computer science.

Secondly Institutes offering electronics degree are far less compared to computer science degree offering colleges. Seats are also far less.

From all the information above, it is clear that taking electronic as your stream should reduce your competition in the future. Every electronic company or computer company gives almost equal priorities to both of these graduates. But in the current situation electronics people get more salary because they are less when compared to computer science people.

In my opinion, you should go for electronics stream. There are two advantages. In future, with the current scenario, you shall face less compitition and you shall gain salary advantage over your computer science colleague.

Still I shall advice you to take a stream selector psychometric test. Helps you to find your aptitude and then choose the right one.

God bless you.
