typo, I meant if IT companies didn't take them then there would be shortage of jobs for them as not many core companies for them are present.
Fine.. But should they be getting that job ahead of "specialist" graduates/degree holders? In an ideal system - No.
In my opinion, there could be a top up course , after which you can become eligible for that "different" industry.
===========================
I will elaborate my point.
If one can switch industries in last minute & there is no preference of doing any specialization for job. Then why have different subjects in XII & parts of college. Have same subjects for all up to say "15th" Std. And have last 1-2 years for specialization.
If no, then people from specialization should be chosen & people interested to switch their areas need to do top up courses.
---------------------------
I understand some subjects require more time for specialization & IT is considered one of the few where its not much needed. But the fact is, that our education system does not have many ideal IT courses, where fundamentals are strongly taught so that someone who has done an IT course should be able to enter a company and start doing well pretty soon from joining date. But, because its so bad, that many IT & Non-IT folks needs to be trained all over albeit as a crash course anyway in the companies that has led to this situation.

Take neither and end your dilemma 
Afaik, even ECE does have coding. Why dont you begin by comparing the syllabus of both courses ? Preferably get the syllabus from your college's website.

Preferably get the syllabus from your college's website.ET?Do you mean EC iCon.ty for all your inputs.Guess more say EC.x720 I saw the courses and both seem good for me(I did much research before posting here bud) cuz CS is like most of C and other advanced languages like java and j2ee, DBMS, some comp architecture,unix system programming and stuff whereas EC had some networks,signals,circuit design, micro controllers, micro processors and all.
Oh Yes .. See bro you can leaen programming during your engineering as part time course from some good institute and it will be added advantage. CS is not a good choice as you will be limited to do programming in first 5 year after that you can be real software engineer not to mention that you have to continuously update with coming technology changes and learn new languages every 2 or 3 year. I am stopping myself here as battery is dying.
ok iCon.That's what I thought of CS.Did a bit of research and found there are quite a few programming languages but almost all are easy to master if we know C/C++ and currently something called "Python" is the latest programming lol.I think EC is what I'll choose. Will try for better coll or stick to the one I got in the next round.
If you live in Mumbai then I can safely tell you that you have one more year to make a choice. First year of engineering is common for all branches, and you can change your branch before the start of the second year. 
BTW you need to clear all subjects and need to have an overall aggregate of 60% to be eligible for a transfer.

First year is the same everywhere. But from what I know, it isnt easy to change branches.
