There are number of students who are allured bythis rewarding career in the Electronics and TelecommunicationEngineering field. With Maths and Physics being the required subjectsin Class XII, admission in electronics and telecommunicationengineering is done on the basis of entrance test, GATE. Aftercompletion in the same, one is offered openings in the public sector,defence, manufacturing industries, sales and marketing. Those willingto choose research and development or teaching or consultancy jobs needto pursue postgraduate qualifications. Graduate Aptitude Test forEngineering (GATE) is the qualifying test that has to be cleared bythose looking for placement in postgraduate degree programmes. A degreein ME/MTech is two year courses and further specializations are offeredthrough post graduate diplomas or research fellowships. Afterpursuing 10+2 students must opt for acquiring technician'squalifications through the 3 year diploma courses that are usuallyoffered by the Technology Training Institutions. Then there is anoption for studying for membership examinations of professionalorganizations or those diploma holders can carry out part time degreecourse for enhancing their qualification. There are numerousuniversities that are offering B.Sc Electronics course which can befollowed by an MSc in the subject. Additionally, there are specializedB.Tech courses that are offered in varied fields such as Electronics& Computer Sc., Electronics & Communication, Electronics &Control, Electronics & Telecommunication, Electronics &Information Electronics & Power, Electronics & Instrumentation,Electronics & Telematics, Electronics & Power, Electronics& Electrical Communication and many more. Career Avenuesfor Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering Students- Organizationdealing with consumers, aircrafts and broadcast electronics, hospitaland medical equipment, satellite, computers, marine navigation,audiovisual test and farm machinery offers opportunities for electronic/telecommunication engineers. The union or amalgamation of technologyfor telephones, computers, and cable, video and broadcast televisionrequires proficient people skilled in various other disciplines.Engineers from computers, electronics telecommunications/communicationhave opportunities in a wide variety of companies. Electronicand Telecommunication engineers are usually required in industrieswhere the working environment varied significantly. Research basedprofessions are carried out in laboratories and as far as fabricationis concerned, these are carried out in showroom. Engineers in Defence,Hospitals, and aeronautics and weather labs are subjected to severeworking conditions. However, telecommunication engineers are highly indemand in the manufacturing industries and research and servicessector. On the other hand, job involves desk work that expands over alot of technical calculations, design and testing. Additionally, thefield work requires hell lot of traveling and can be at times,physically demanding.
