Electronics and Communication Engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics & electromagnetism. You might get amazed to know that in India, the electronics market is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, with an expected increase to USD 400 billion by the year 2020.
So now the question is how to be a part of this trending market? Following are some major steps needed to become a professional engineer in the field of electronics & communication:
Earn a Bachelor’s Degree
The first and foremost thing you should do is to get a bachelor’s degree in electronics & communication. Most of the job openings require applicants to hold a degree from an accredited program. Other than a bachelor’s degree in engineering, M.Sc. in Electronics & Communication might help. There are many colleges offering these programs, but remember the best way to get the degree is by cracking IIT JEE OR AIEEE. You can also opt for distance learning engineering programs if you want to be flexible while receiving an education. You can also go for higher studies like Mtech & Ph.D. in a relevant field related to electronics.
Get Certified
If you are not alumni of any popular university like IITs, don’t get disappointed if you wouldn’t get a good job. As soon as your degree is completed, you can get certified from any of the institutes offering professional certificate courses in fields related to electronics & communication. There are popular institutes like CDAC, SiliconIndia, VectorIndiaand many more which provide short term & long term courses of Embedded System design or VLSI design. And if you are interested in communication & networking, you can go for courses like CCNA, CCENT from CISCO.
Enhance Technical Skills
It is always a good idea to gain some good technical skills. These skills include practical knowledge of Circuit Mounting, Oscilloscopes, installation of routers & switches, etc., Wave & Pulse Generators and many other practical skills.
Gain Work Experience
When we talk about experience, it doesn’t always mean to have experience in the job. There are other ways to get an experience as you can try to get the position of trainee or intern at some reputed company. In addition to that, a fresher with good theoretical knowledge can apply for the position of a technical writer. All this will prove to be an extra edge for your professional growth.
Prepare for the Interview
And, last but not least, good preparation of interview is a must. The first thing to care about is to have a simple, attractive and precise resume. It should contain all the important details regarding your skills and experience. Another quality you should possess is good communication & presentation skills. All these qualities help you achieve your goal of being a professional electronics & communication engineer.
Try your best to adopt these steps and feel more confident in order to fulfill your dream of winning electronics & communication engineering. So hurry up! You can be the engineer of tomorrow. Good Luck!
