PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

• Telecom sector is one of the fastest growing sectors worldwide and the telecom engineers have career in industries like consumer electronics, manufacturing organizations, automotive, mobile communication and IT industries.
• ECE students have lots of opportunities in government and private sectors. In addition as compared to other branches, there are more interdisciplinary specializations in higher studies for ECE students like Embedded Systems & IoT, VLSI, Wireless communication, Signal Processing, Robotics & Automation and Smart energy systems.
• The jobs concerned with Electronics and Communication Engineering represent over 50% of all available jobs in engineering. With a basic knowledge and logic of programming, an ECE engineer can do wonders with training provided by these companies.
• The aim of students pursuing Electronics and Communication engineering is to get a highly paid job thereby maintaining the sustainable and ethical environment. So improving skill set will definitely impact their pay scale a lot.

ECE IS THE ALL- ROUNDER BRANCH OF ENGINEERING

• Telecom sector is fastest growing sector worldwide and there is a shortage of telecom Engineers.
• As compared to other branches,there are more interdisciplinary specializations in higher studies for ECE students like Embedded Systems, VLSI, Wireless communication, Signal Processing. Therefore, ECE students have a wider choice.
• Advantage comes in Job and placement too. ECE students usually get jobs in companies/organizations having operations in software (IT industries), hardware i.e. Electronics (Electronics industries), Communications (Telecom Industries) as well as Electrical; this is the biggest benefit which is not available to students of other streams.
• Electronics and Communication Engineering jobs represent over 50% of all available jobs in engineering!
• If IT job is your destination, then there is no need to master programming languages. With a basic knowledge and logic of programming, an ECE engineer can do wonders with training provided by these companies.

Some of the important positions that ECE pass outs can serve

• • Electronics Engineer

With the emerging rise in the electronics industry, new leading firms are springing up to meet the needs of the consumer market. The profile of electronics engineer has a great demand in the market and this has created a lot of opportunities for the ECE aspirants.

• • Electronics and Communication Engineer

ECE students can also pursue in the communication, networking, broadcast, transmission systems work area. This work possesses center of interest that can consolidate electronics, conceptualize the communication network framework, and ensure its flawless execution.

• • Electronics Design & Development Engineer

Electronics design and development is one of the most preferred choices of position by ECE graduates who want to have dazzling prospects in the electronic designing and development field.
