The focus in this discipline is on understanding electronic networks and devices,electric magnetic fields,computer fundamentals, communication and control systems. Electronics and Communication Engineering uses the scientific knowledge of the behavior and effects of electronics to develop components, devices,systems and equipments. It deals with recent trends in communication technology via wire/wireless networks, circuits designs & Micro controllers.

An electronic engineer can find a job in Consumer electronics manufacturing organization , Telecommunication & IT industries, Health care equipment manufacturing , Mobile communication(2G,3G,4G), Internet technologies, Power Electronics, and other industries like steel, petroleum and chemical industry, directing control and testing production process.

Electrical Technicians and technologists can specialize in technical sales, product representation, systems management, the design and manufacture of electronic devices and systems, or the installation, maintenance and repair of electronic systems and equipment.

They may also work with computers and electronic equipment in the medical, manufacturing, industrial control, telecommunications, aeronautical and military fields.
ECE also have several job openings & good pay-packages as compared to other branches.

Electronics and Communication Engineers are acquired by top recruiters (both private and government) like DMRC, Siemens, Motorola, Intel, Texas Instruments, BEL, ISRO, DRDO, Accenture, Wipro, HCL Technologies, NVidia, Samsung, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, TCS, Conexant, MTNL, AIR, BSNL, Indian Air force, Indian Navy, Railways, Bharat Electronics Ltd and Flextronics and Philips Electronics.

All these developments have been fueled by advances in communications technology. new protocols and coding schemes, new ways to represent video, images and speech as data, new means of delivering this information to users via cable, fiber, and increasingly via radio are constantly being emerged. These developments are, in turn, based on sound engineering principles.

An Electronic and Communication Engineer can be employed in Public and Private Sector Industries and Organizations such as the Indian Telephone Industries MTNL, National Physical Laboratories, AIR, Civil Aviation and Police Wireless Departments. These engineers are also absorbed into the Entertainment Transmission Industry, Research Establishments and Defence. They can also take up teaching and research as profession in Engineering Colleges in India or Abroad.
