Regarded as one
of the core engineering streams, graduation in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is a stepping stone
for an eternal lucrative career. One may even opine sky is the limit as for the
job opportunities. This is evident from the fact almost every entity under the
sun is based on applications of electronics and software. With Nano technology
gaining prominence, more venues and avenues would be in the offing for the ECE
graduates. Hence a department in this branch of engineering is instituted on
priority no sooner than a university or a college starts functioning.
The graduation
leading to B.Tech or B.E is of 4 years duration. To obtain admission in an
engineering college or one of the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology), you
have to clear both the Main and Advanced papers in JEE (Joint Entrance
Examination). Although the all India rankings are the guiding factors for
admission in IITs and government aided colleges, one can knock at the doors of
deemed universities and privately run engineering colleges.
To appear in
this, you must meet the following criteria:
·
JEE (Main)
o
Paper 1
o
Paper 2
·
JEE (Advanced)
o
Performance in JEE (Main) 2015
o
Age limit
o
Number of attempts
o
Appearance in Class XII (or
equivalent) examination
Periodically,
every year, the government announces the patterns, dates and details of the JEE
for the aspirant students. It is ideal to watch out for this information lest
no opportunity is lost and one year goes waste.
However, your
preference or choice of the institution to pursue the degree in Electronics and Communication Engg must
be one that is committed to create an environment where the students identify
and nurture their inherent potential.
It would be wise
to ascertain relevant particulars of the course as well as the various
facilities available at the chosen institution.

A study tour is
undertaken in the final semester. At the conclusion of the course, most of the
colleges assign their students to undergo short-term training in the industry.
As usual, leading corporate houses visit the different colleges for
on-the-campus selection of bright engineers.
Top engineering university
in India like the Dehradun-based DIT University
encourages the bright students to pursue higher studies leading to M.Tech or
M.S and also appear in GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) that is
jointly conducted by the prestigious Indian Institute of Science and the seven
IITs.
