Future Scope

Electronics Engineering is one of the core branches of Engineering studies started as Electrical Engineering. Most of the branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Applied Electronics, Electronics and Instrumentation, Information Technology have been emerged as specialization from Electrical Engineering.

However, with the wide applications of Electronics in controlling and protecting the Electrical equipment’s and systems, the course has been renamed as Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

The scope of electronics and communication engineer is very high, in communication sector there are huge demand for ECE. One can get offers from IT industry, steel, petroleum and chemical industry. Telecommunication, airlines, defense are also major employers

Indian armed forces there are scope for electronics and communication engineer. Starting from telecommunication to satellite communication. You can join various Govt. & private sector.
