Career in Electronic Engineering

What: Electronics and communication engineering is an engineering discipline which uses the scientific knowledge of the behaviour and effects of electrons to develop components, devices, systems, or equipment that uses electricity as part of its driving force. The engineering field encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, semiconductor circuit design, and many others.

Electrical engineering is one of the core fields of engineering, so it is always evergreen in terms of Scope and Job Prospects. Electrical Engineering is the heart of whole engineering discipline and therefore it scope will never fade even many years from now. Nowadays, we see Electronics playing an important role in the implementation and control of Electrical Machines. Keeping this fact file in mind the course have transformed from core electrical Engineering into a Fusion of Electronics and Electrical and has been renamed as Electronics and Electrical engineering or simply EEE.

Working experience, qualifications, ability are important factors in determining the pay level. The trainee engineer earns Rs 20,000- 30,000 per month. A middle level technical professional gets Rs 70,000- 80,000 a month. A senior manager earns Rs 1.5 lakh a month.

How: Electronic Engineering is a field that is constantly changing and widening and being one of the most labour intensive fields, has the power to provide career and job opportunities to plenty of qualified and skilled candidates. After a degree in this particular branch of engineering, a person can get easily find employment in the telephone industries, the aviation departments, in factories that deal with electronic consumer goods, in the radio services, in manufacturing companies and even in governmental sectors like MTNL, AIR, etc.

In fact, Electronic Engineers are also needed in the defence and in plenty of research laboratories.  And if they want, these engineers can also start their own business by manufacturing electronic goods, their parts and other components. Therefore, one can evidently see that the scope of a degree in Electronic Engineering is indeed quite huge!

The basic eligibility criteria for a BE / B.Tech is 10+2 or equivalent examination, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Admission to these courses is highly competitive and only those with high academic performance in the board of examination i.e. the marks secured in the final exams of 10+2 and in the entrance test can expect admission. Entrance to the IIT’s is through ‘JEE’ (Joint Entrance Exam) and for other major institutions through AIEEE (All India Engineering/Pharmacy/Architecture Entrance Examination) OR their own separate entrance exams and other state level and national level exams.

Where: Students having strong logical and analytical skills along with the capability to capture new things and attention to detail always do well in this field. A Successful Electrical Engineer must mould his methodologies as well as his technologies according to the changing technological scenario of the current Market. There are plenty of jobs for skilled electronics engineers with post-secondary qualifications. An electronics engineer can get a job in the Central Government, State Governments and their sponsored corporations in public enterprises and the private organizations
