Study in Top US Colleges

Recent recession had a big impact on the type of careers we choose. It is wise to go for a

career that can withstand market conditions like recession, rather than going for a career

change at a later stage of your career. That doesn't mean that, we need to choose a

career which we are not passionate about. So when you make a career choice, the choice

should be interesting and reliable. In the following sections, we will look into various

Career Opportunities, Choices and skills sets needed for Electronics and Communication

engineers.

Where to start ?

Engineers and MSc Electronics students get hired by companies during campus

recruitment or during walk ins conducted directly by companies or by consulting firms.

Since the number of openings for freshers in the field of Electronics and Communication

is far less compared to the students passing out every year, it is very important for a

budding engineer to get placed during campus recruitment and cross the first hurdle inyour career.

Students can opt for higher studies, if you don't get placed during campus recruitment.

Even if you get placed, to get noticed for your work as a fresher and get promoted is

difficult, because companies hire freshers in large numbers. So, to give an incremental

push to your career, it is good to have MS in Electronics and Communication. We will

discuss about advantages of Higher Education in later sections.

While choosing colleges for Engineering or MS in Electronics and Communication, look

for colleges which offers highest placement. Another important aspect, while choosing a

college is the lab facility they offer. Unlike computer science, which requires only

computers and softwares, ECE departments require extensive electronics circuits,

microprocessor and communications lab. Hands on experience in labs will help you get a

good exposure in this field. So, make a detailed enquiry about the lab facility before joining.

How to get hired during Campus or off Campus

Recruitment ?

Placement takes place during penultimate year or final year of the course. If you didn't getplaced during campus recruitment, try to get jobs via consultancies or during off Campus

recruitment. Placements are done in two stages. In the first stage, there will be Aptitude

Test and Technical Test. So you should be well trained in aptitude test. Please refer,

Aptitude test tips and tricks to solve aptitude test questions quickly.

Technical Test will be mainly based on Electronics, Circuit Design, Communication,

Microprocessor and digital electronics. You should try out executing Microprocessorprograms rather than learning from books. This will helps you to get a hands on

experience and helps you answer questions about troubleshooting, execution

methodology and program solving skills.

Based on the performance in the first stage, you will be selected to the second stage. In

the second stage, there will be Group Discussion(GD) followed by Face to Face Technical

Interview and HR Interview. In the group discussion, make sure that you are active andcrisp in conveying your ideas. Please don't enforce your ideas on others during the GD.

Technical interview will be based on what you have learned in your course. Interviewer

If your are not getting placed, try for internships. Internship helps you gain experience and

get paid.

So, it will be wise if you choose your final year academic projects in any of these fields. By

doing so, you will have a greater expertise and hands on experience.

Electronics and Communication Engineering "alary

First thing that comes to the mind of electronics student are, How much i can earn from

the job. Salaries differ based on the companies you get placed. Big MNC's like Texas

Instruments offer salaries in the range of INR 60,000 – 120,000 per month. Indian

companies offer salaries in the range of of INR 30,000 – 60,000 per month. If you get

Higher Education Opportunities for Electronics and

Communication "tudents

There is a lot of scope for students doing M.S or M.Tech in the field of electronics and

communication. Having masters will certainly improve your career prospects and help you

get hired by top MNC's. Governments across the globe are spending millions of dollars in

this field for research and development. So, scope for doing Phd in these fields is a risk

worth taking. You will get scholarships and financial aid to do PhD from various
