B. Tech. in Electronics and Communication involves the study of design, analysis and application of electronics and communication circuits. The course focuses on telecommunications, energy and electronics sectors. Also known as B. Tech in ECE is a 4 year program which can be pursued if a student has cleared 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as main subjects.

The program enable students to develop new electronic systems useful for real applications. The approximate tuition fee of the course ranges from INR 1 lakh to 4 lakh. However in some private institute fee can go upto 6 to 7 lakh. 

Students after completing B. Tech ECE can work in various government and private sectors as Electronic engineer, Design engineer, VLSI engineer etc. Students can get a remuneration of 1.8 lacs to 3.0 lacs per annum at entry level.

What is the B. Tech in Electronics and Communication about?

B. Tech. ECE focusses on concepts and designs of underlying hardware systems which are used in areas such as telecommunication, energy and electronic sectors.  It is based on research, design,development and testing of electronics in various systems.

The core topics include understanding of analog transmission, basic electronics, solid state devices, microprocessors, digital and analog communication, analog integrated circuits, satellite communication, microwave engineering, antennae and wave progression.

Who should opt for the B. Tech in Electronics and Communication?

Students who have the ability to make use of theoretical concepts to solve practical and real-life problems can opt for this course. Those who have an inquisitive mind, will power and good verbal and non-verbal communication skills can choose B. Tech in Electronics and Communication.

Students with an instinct to develop designs for complex problems can opt for this course as well.

Academic options after B. Tech in Electronics and Communication

After completing B. Tech in Electronics and Communication, students can chose MBA, M. Tech ECE, M. Tech Communication Engineering for higher  studies which will help increase their salary package and improve their potential in the industry.

Duration

B. Tech in Electronics and Communication is 4 years, which is divided into 8 semesters. There are 2 semesters in each year, which have end term examination in the end of each semester.

Where to study?

Many Engineering colleges in India offer B. Tech. in Electronics and Communication with best curriculum and highly qualified faculty. Some of the top colleges are:

University College of Engineering, JNTUK, offers full-time B.Tech course at the undergraduate level. The intake capacity for each specialization, except Metallurgical Engineering and Civil Engineering, is 60. In case of Metallurgical Engineering and Civil Engineering, there are 30 seats in each specialization.

The minimum required eligibility criterion for B.Tech is minimum 50% marks in 10+2 exam, or any of its equivalent exam as recognized by the JNTUK, along with Physics, Chemistry and Math as compulsory subjects in 10+2. The rank acquired by the students in AP-EAMCET exams are considered for admission to B.Tech.

Key Points:

• Foreign candidates are not eligible for appearing in the entrance exams.
• AP-EAMCET is a state level common entrance exam, conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada on behalf of APSCHE.
• It is 3-hour exam, consisting of 160 objective type questions. The engineering exam consists of 40 questions from Physics and Chemistry each and 80 questions from Mathematics.
