SCOPE OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING

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 vast that it is applied in every field. The development of the world that 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 and hence 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- Well preferred as IT professionals.
  • Manufacturing- PCB, IC etc.

A lot of EC students end up in software companies. During one's course try to understand the concepts and go in depth that will help you get into a core company. The fact i understood is that one's profile should be good. Every student undergoes internship during their course and for you to be outstanding and to get an upper hand in placements it is always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course In India many companies hire EC engineers. Try to go for multinational companies if possible. You can 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. TOSHIBA
  2. LG
  3. SAMSUNG
  4. SONY ERICSON
  5. NOKIA
  6. PHILIPS
  7. PANASONIC
  8. RAILWAY DEPARTMENTS etc
I haven't mentioned any IT companies because every IT companies such as TCS, Infosys etc hire EC engineers. You can also go for higher studies to make your career strong. You can go for MS or MBA according to your taste. MS is mainly engineering and research whereas MBA is management. Doing MS in countries such as US or UK is too high. You can choose according to your taste. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.
