These days, no sooner
than a student with technical bent of mind clears the higher
secondary examination, the prime concern would focus on preparations
to clear the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Yes, it is your first
hurdle in realising the aspirations to become an engineer. Once the
results of this entrance test are declared with your name in the list
of successful candidates, surely you will feel like being on Cloud
Nine!
Wishing to be a part of
the current bandwagon with ample job prospects, you would opt for the
stream of Electronics and Communication Engineering. So you
begin the hunt for reputed colleges and universities that offer the
best of facilities in your quest for an engineering degree. These
include the library, laboratories, and workshops for practical
studies as well as projects.
In course of the study
spread over four-year duration, apart from basic electricity and
magnetism, you will get an exposure to learn many other topics such
as modern techniques of communication like coaxial cables, optical
fibres and satellite-based links. You also get an opportunity to
design kits such as electronic switching systems, multiplexers and
routers. The syllabus would cover semi-conductor technology, signals,
radio and television, integrated circuits including PCBs, computers
and music systems among others.
This study of electronics
and communication engg is the gateway for your integrated
know-how on digital electronics and computer architecture including
design of various systems based on power electronics, applied
electromagnetic theory and assorted control systems.
On successful completion
of the course, you will earn the merited scroll of B.E or B.Tech
degree. As for job prospects, leading corporate groups visit the
campus of institutions in varsities like the Dehradun-based Graphic
Era University for scouting talented engineers. Or you can even opt
for post graduation leading to M.E, M.Sc or M.Tech. Armed with the
degree or the post graduate qualification, you can chart out a
successful career in several arenas like IT, consumer electronics,
telecommunication, mass media, aviation and avionics hospital
diagnostics, instrumentation etc.
