Course Overview

What is Electronics and Communication Engineering?
Electronics and Communication Engineering is one of the most popular branches of engineering which involves researching, designing, developing, testing and maintaining of electronic equipment. Electronics and Communication Engineers also supervise the assembling and manufacturing of communication and broadcast systems. The field of Electronics and Communication Engineering has its foundations in three major technical areas: Mathematics: Information, Networks and Systems, Physics: Circuits, Semiconductor Devices & Optical Systems, and Computers: Microprocessors and Computing devices.

Who should study Electronics and Communication Engineering?
If you are highly interested in gadgets and all sorts of electronic equipment and are looking to pursue a career that will enable you to design and develop these gadgets, this field is the right choice for you. In electronics and communication courses , you will learn concepts such as electronic devices and circuits, circuit analysis, digital communication and more. CMR IT, one of the top electronics and communication engineering colleges has practically integrated into our syllabus for a better understanding and to provide hands-on experience for the students.

What will I study in this course?
As part of the electronics and communication engineering curriculum, you will study Applied Mathematics, Introduction to AI and Applications, Computer-Aided Engineering Drawing, Indian Constitution & Engineering Ethics, Communication Skills, and programming concepts during the First Year of foundational courses. In CMRIT, one of the best colleges for electronics and communication engineering in Bangalore, higher semesters will  focus on core specialized subjects such as digital system design using Verilog, principles of communication system, principles of communication engineering, digital signal processing, digital communication, VLSI and embedded system design, microwave engineering and antenna theory  followed by project work and technical seminars.

What are the career opportunities after the completion of this course?/What will I do once I graduate?
Electronics and Communication engineers are very much in demand throughout industry. Companies such as Tata Elxsi, Cadence, L&T InfoTech, Bosch, TCS, Infosys, Texas Instruments, Intel, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics, EDA, ABB, Honeywell, Global Electronics, Wipro VLSI, Broadcom, QUALCOMM, LSI, IBM, Hewlett Packard, ISRO and DRDO Labs hire Electronics and Communication engineers. Some students choose to work for software companies such as Microsoft, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Samsung, Nokia Siemens, SAP, and IGATE. There are many other students who also take up higher studies in the field, and prefer to focus their careers on research and/or teaching rather than in industry.
