Future of Electrical Engineering

This has been one of the most lucrative and competitive course to study since its inception in Indian engineering schools, colleges and universities. When India’s Electrical industry created mark in world of business and gained super trust and revenue for the nation it also created large amount of well paid jobs for Electrical Engineering students.

Electrical Engineering students will learn about basic engineering techniques, as other engineering students, during first year course. These techniques include Engineering Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and Engineering drawing. From second year they are exposed to core Electrical Engineering science subjects electrical machine, electrical measurement and instrumentation, basic electronics, circuit networks,

This is really an excellent field to have opportunities both in Electrical industry and higher studies. As computing is extensively applied to almost every walk of life it created massive jobs for electrical Engineering students. On the same time more demand and application kept it research funding alive attracting many students to opt for higher studies.
