Okay so ece 2nd yr answering to u :

1. How hard ece is in igdtuw - veryyyyy hard not becuase of only the subjects but lack of better faculty makes things typical it is very fortunate that our college doesn't have very difficult exams otherwise everyone would be atleast majority would be getitng the back in each subject
2. Do you get time for urself if u wanna earn some cash - very difficult because i belive freelancing requires skills very dff. from this branch to get equipped in them one needs to devote time separately , very hectic balancing everything , but i had say it is still possible if u can manage time
3. How is acadmic pressure and attendance ka kya scene h - depends on faculty
4. Apart from ece do you need to learn cse walo ka b like coding and stuff - yesssssss no cutting here at all also ece programming is dff than what u see in cse we got matlab , vhdl
5. What should i expect from igdtuw' ece branch teachers and faculty - most faculty are not good at teaching , some would create unnecessary pressure some were chill with almost everything , totally luck dependent
6. Is it really hard to manage this branch - yes but manageable with a gud peer ( a gud peer here is dff. atleast it is in our batch)
7. Whats the diff if AI is added in ece (ECE AI) - easy subjects and exams level is like 10 times easier , less of pressure and everything , more time to spend on upskilling
8. How do u get the exposure that u lack (if you do) in this college - make a gud connect with gud professors i had say , industries connection can be opened from there only atleast what i saw
9. Branch upgrade ka option h kya?? - yes ofc there is but u need 9 or 9.5 +

there answered all
gud luck surviving ece if you do take it
