Electronics Engineering in IndiaWelcome aboard the world of electronics which has completely changed the way we look at life and feel too maybe! We are living in a well connected digital world powered by the sophistication and advancement of electronics. I bet you will have much difficulty in trying to think of a device which doesnt use any part of electronics than trying to think of a device which does use. Right from television to computers, tablets, phones, fridges, home appliances like vaccum cleaner, fan, mixer, microwave oven etc. all rely on the power of electronics. Apart from these everyday gadgets which we see constantly, the equipments used in hospitals, military, aircrafts and what not these all work because of electronics. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is pitching the world to manufacture the stuffs in India through his Make in India campaign, it is obvious for current and about-to-graduate electronics engineer to focus on innovation. The next generation of electronics equipments are required to be small (in size), highly efficient with great risk and failure tolerance ability. Engineers will be required to work in teams to brainstorm the idea, product, test, calibrate and launch the next generation of devices in all segments i.e. from home appliances to military and hospital equipments, telecommunication etc. It might sound generic but the most important requirement of the next generation of electronics engineers are to be inventive, creative, ability to think outside the box, exceptional Mathematics and logical reasoning abilities apart from obviously sound communication skills and knowledge of team dynamics. To become an electronics engineer, one needs to have Bachelors in Engineering or Bachelors in Technology in Electronics. Its a four years full time course offered at most of the engineering colleges. The diploma version is a three year long course offered at leading polytechnics. Admissions take place by the means of entrance exam. You need to have Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the core subject areas in finishing school / college examinations. And then be all set to appear for the entrance examinations as applicable (according to the college). My pan-India visits to meet prospective and current students, faculty members and parents have allowed me in discovering several leading colleges which are providing cutting-edge curriculum in electronics engineering. The most interesting time was spent in Maharashtra where I visited top engineering colleges in Nashik, Pune and Mumbai. These top colleges of Maharashtra are ranked and respected. I had an opportunity to talk in great detail with the current students and faculty members plus the support staffs. With international quality infrastructure, doctorate faculty members who have extensive research expertise, numerous patents, selective and high quality student body in the classroom and very importantly a curriculum designed in consultation with Fortune 500 firms requirements and keeping in mind the streak of innovative thinking, technical & leadership capabilities have been brought into the limelight. This is the best engineering colleges in India is redefining the way teaching and learning is currently offered in India. What I also really liked is the huge focus and commitment on building strong links with recruiters which has resulted in paid internships and hundred percent placement of graduating students with Indias well known employers. I invite and encourage students to wake-up and start exploring the options for them. With the change in the world, they need to go for cutting edge programs in order to be industry-ready. Remember that what worked yesterday will not work today because times have just changed very rapidly. So, get up and get moving towards getting yourself admitted at the top institution to make your dream a reality. Welcome aboard once again. Wish you all the very best.
