SCOPE OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING IN INDIA

What is electronics and communication engineering? What is its scope? Scope of electronics and communication engineering or EC engineering is huge because modern technology uses electronics, chips, transistors, fibre optics etc and you know that an EC engineer deals with all of these. Scope of EC engineering is so vast that it is applied in every field. The development of the world which includes every area such as telecommunication, satellite, microelectronics, technology etc are all based on electronics engineering. Electronics has also helped in developing health care, automation, signal processing etc. Few fields where electronic engineers get placed are :


  • In medical field- Almost all medical equipments are electronic so for the installation and maintenance of those equipments.
  • In automobile- The speed dial, air bag systems etc are all based on electronics.
  • In modern equipments- For the production, maintenance and repair of computers, laptops,  tabs, mobiles etc.
  • In communication- Radio,telephones etc.
  • In government and private companies- Installation, operation and maintenance of electronics equipments and systems.
  • Defence- For design and development of complex devices and systems for signal processing and telecommunication.
  • Space and other research organisations- For design and development of complex devices and systems for signal processing and telecommunication.
  • Electronic industries- Design and fabrication of devices, embedded systems, electronic equipments etc. 
  • Process industries- For instrumentation and control of electronic devices.
  • IT companies- They are well preferred as IT professionals.
  • Manufacturing- PCB, IC etc.
A lot of EC students end up in software companies. During your course try to understand the concepts and go in depth, only then can you get into a core company. Almost every student undergoes internship during their course. But for you to be unique and to get an upper hand in placements its always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course. In India there are a lot of companies who hire EC engineers. Try to go for multinational companies if possible. You can only get into these companies if you have a good profile and always visit their official sites for any notifications for vacancies. 
                  
I will mention a few companies who requires EC engineers :
  1. BSNL
  2. LG
  3. SAMSUNG
  4. SONY ERICSON
  5. NOKIA
  6. PHILIPS
  7. PANASONIC
  8. ISRO
  9. DRDO
  10. BHEL
  11. NTPC
  12. BARC
  13. SAIL
  14. ELECTRICITY BOARD
  15. RAILWAY DEPARTMENT etc.
I haven't mentioned any IT companies because every IT companies hire EC engineers like TCS, Infosys etc. You can also go for higher studies to make your career strong. In India you can go for M.Tech in IIT's and NIT's. For that you must appear for the GATE exam and get a good score. Even if you are not interested in doing higher studies, your GATE score is going to a get you a good job because a lot of government companies consider your GATE score. You can also go for MS in India or anroad but the expense to do it abroad is high. Well if you are planning to do MS then better do it abroad because in India the value is less. MS is mainly engineering and research whereas M.Tech is just engineering. You can choose according to your taste. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.

  1. Hi Nithin John,
    You are doing great job! From this post students can understand about scope of EC engineering is so vast that it is applied in every field such as telecommunication, satellite, microelectronics, technology etc.
