Which is easier, EEE or ECE at NIT Surathkal?

I have a few friends at NIT Surathkal and based on the conversation I had with them, I will say at NIT Surathkal, ECE is considered to be the toughest branch.

1. The academics and research are taken very seriously in the department.
2. The professors are demanding and highly qualified than other departments.
3. In this department everyone, from HOD to lab assistants, everyone is serious about studies and making a point about academic rigor.
4. The exams are also very tough and students even fail in lab examinations too.

But the scenario at the EEE department of NIT Surathkal is slightly different and its biggest advantage is that it has a relaxed attendance policy, unlike other branches.

The recent placement statistics for the branches are as follows.
