About IETE

the Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineers is the apex body that works for the  development in Electronics, Telecommunication, Computer Engineering and allied disciplines. At present, it conducts two examinations:

• Diploma level examination in two disciplines (Part A-Electronics and Telecommunication, and Part B-Computer Science and Engineering) leading to Dip IETE

• Graduate level examination also in two disciplines (Part A-Electronics and Telecommunication, and Part B-Computer Science and Engineering) leading to the Associate Membership (AMIETE). It also conducts a postgraduate course, viz., Advanced Level Course in Computer Science (ALCCS).

Mechanical Engineering is one of the trusted and tested fields in Engineering. It has good employment prospects both in India and abroad. Since ECE is relatively new, you should not compare it with Mechanical. It will not be fair. Like I said, depending on your interests, you should take a call.
