Electronics and communication are some of the most promising fields for candidates. It is also referred to as electronics engineering. This branch of engineering which deals in nonlinear and the active electrical components to design electronic devices is a very popular career choice. The scope is wide also the pay is also fair.

This course merges the two fields of electronics as well as communication. This course is divided into two parts. In the first part, all the basics like chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc such areas are covered to brush up the skills of the candidates and in the latter part, all the core areas of electronics and communication are taught to them such as design, digital electronics, circuits & signals and many more. 

If we talk about the undergraduate program then the exposure is lesser than the post-graduate program. 

The division of electronics and communication engineering is as such:

  • Undergraduate – B. Tech in electronics and communication engineering.
  • Postgraduate – M.Tech in electronics and communication engineering.
  • Diploma level in electronics and communication engineering.
  • Ph.D. in electronics and communication engineering.

Specialization in Electronics Engineering

If we talk about specializations than it has the following specializations:

  • Computer engineering
  • Control engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Telecommunications engineering
  • Instrumentation engineering
  • VLSI design engineering and many more.

Jobs after Electronics Engineering

The various jobs that are available after completing the Electronics engineering degree are:

  • Electronics engineer
  • Electrical Engineer
  • Broadcast engineer
  • Design engineer
  • Aerospace engineer
  • CAD Technician
  • Acoustic consultant
  • Service engineer
  • Field test engineer and many more.

Some of the top recruiting firms for this course are HCL Technologies, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, DRDO, etc.

After gaining enough experience in the field the candidates get offered good packages.
