Electronic and Communications Engineering (ECE): A complete overview

Hi,

We are now at the start of another academic year, some of you might have completed your intermediate from MPC background and are about to enter into graduation as Engineers. For such students I would like to advice few things. They are many groups available in Engineering like CSE, ECE, EEE, IT, Civil etc of which ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) has a bright future with respect to many things. This doesn't mean that other streams do not have bright future, but among all the groups available at Engineering, ECE is always one step ahead of all the other branches.

Why Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)?

Well if we start discussing about the importance of ECE it goes on like an Everest. The first and foremost thing is that it is because the synchronization of Electronics on par with Communication field, no other group like EIE or EEE or any other group has this synchronization. Usually in the first year of your B.Tech you will be learning things that you have already learn at your +2 stage like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Drawing, English etc. The actual core subjects come from second year, usually you will be first introduced with subjects related to Electronics field like circuit designing and analyzing etc. Later on subjects related to Communication field will be introduced. The word Communication means transfer of information from the source to the destination over a communication channel. Subjects related to communication field are Analog Communication, Digital Communication, Satellite Communication, Wireless Communication & Networking, and Cellular Mobile Communication etc. These subjects play a vital role in deciding the carrier of the subjects. The above represented scenario is with respect to JNTU-H and almost all the universities follow more or less the same scenario. Since the goods in the field of Communication are more related to Electronics the group Electronics and Communication Engineering has higher demand than any other department.

Job Prospects in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE):

They are wide range of job opportunities for ECE students throughout the world. In fact in many public sector jobs in India, the students from ECE are highly recruited than any other group. The other advantage of this group is that students can easily drift from hardware field to software field if the familiar with some computer languages but the converse is not true. In the field of communication side, mainly in companies like BSNL, Nokia, and Motorola etc mainly students from ECE background are hired. Finally the famous ISRO recruits students only from ECE and Mechanical.

So, I request the students to be wise in choosing their stream. One need to look into considerations about the market after four years and not based on the present market as you will be finishing graduation after four years. ECE has nothing like recession, like software side as any company requires the students for a long run process. So in my opinion it is best to choose ECE as your stream at B.Tech in order to have bright future both with respect to Job and with respect to Masters.

Regards,
Karthik.
