Why Are Only Computer Engineering Students Getting Jobs?

It is a common misconception amongst students and parents that only Computer Science (CS) students are securing jobs, whereas the reality is quite different. The number of seats in computer engineering (CE) is often greater than in other branches such as civil engineering. Due to this, placement cells at colleges frequently invite companies from the Computer Engineering (CE) field to place students, which can create the impression that only CS students are getting jobs.

In reality, many CE students also find placements. The ratio of placed students to those who remain unplaced varies across colleges, but is generally comparable to other branches. The misconception arises because the number of companies and recruiters specifically from the CE field is higher. This phenomenon is not unique to just CE; the situation is worsening year by year and the overall placement statistics for CE are as favorable as in many other engineering fields.

Supporting the Broader Engineering Community

Computer Engineering is a foundational and interdisciplinary field that supports all other engineering and non-engineering branches by applying domain knowledge to create practical solutions. Its importance is increasingly recognized, especially as automation and digital transformation continue to permeate various industries.

Furthermore, with the increasing demand for skilled programmers and engineers across all domains, especially in industries that are embracing automation, students with a strong foundation in programming can find employment easily and in a variety of sectors. The talent shortage in programming is still a significant issue in many industries, providing numerous opportunities for both CS and CE students.
