JEE Main 2026: The Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026 Session 1 is scheduled to be held from January 21 to 30, 2026.  This is the time to finalize preparations for JEE Main 2026. Keeping this in mind, most candidates are currently engaged in revision. Many candidates are also participating in mock tests. However, experts say that while preparing for JEE Main, candidates should also learn about different engineering branches.  They must understand the advantages, disadvantages, career prospects, salary, and job sectors associated with each engineering branch.

In this context, let's compare Engineering in Mathematics and Computing with Computer Science Engineering, both of which are considered highly demanding engineering branches. Let's find out which branch is considered better in terms of career prospects and which branch offers better salary packages.
