Electronics & Communication Engineering

  • Electronics & Communication Engineering is a branch which deals with flow of electrons which causes currents. ECE is a branch of the low voltage electronic devices and circuits, communication processes and equipments like transmitter, receiver, and antennas.
  • Electronics and Communication has far more versatile field.
  • ECE engineers are designing and maintaining the satellites, which provide connectivity to TV, Telephone and Internet service into remote and rural regions.
  • They are developing the advanced communication services and facilities called value added services viz. Call divert, video conferencing to connect peoples together all around the world.
  • It’s a most challenging branch in the world. As life without electronics is a worst life ever. It’s a multi-dimensional branch thus an EC engineer has an opportunity to pick his carrier dimensions as we are living in the age of science and digitization.
  • This branch has the ability to switch between Hardware and Software fields.
  • If any student is good or average in Physics he / she must pick EC as first option. If students want to do doctors, there is a great scope of research in the EC fields in India and abroad.
  • Major Fields of researches are bio-medical instrumentation, medical imaging and disease analysis, computer networking, mobile network allocation etc. so chose EC to be secure.
  • The role of ECE is to increase the comfort zone of humans and make life luxurious. Imagine a day without electricity.
  • There are more career opportunities in Government and Private sectors in ECE.
  • Around 7 Lakh Jobs are about to come in Telecomm Sector in next 5 Years. Maximum jobs will be under retail and handsets around 35%, around 29% jobs for Service provider industries.
  • Few other motivating facts are that around 50 % of overall jobs are for engineers. Due to digital India campaign around 60% government jobs are for EC fields.
  • Indian Government is going to have around 1000 Crores USD investment in IC chip manufacturing.
  • India is the second largest market after china in the automobile sector. If an EC engineer is good at embedded system design, there is a great scope in automobile for EC engineers.
