An embedded system is a Computer system that is intended to carry out one or more dedicated tasks within a given time frame. These tasks are done with the help of some computing constraints. These constraints are concealed inside the hardware on which it functions. This is called as an embedded device. There are a few leading colleges in India which offers interested students with postgraduate programs in embedded system. Those candidates who have cleared their Bachelor’s degree in the related subject are eligible to apply for the Master’s course in embedded systems. The All India Engineering Entrance Exam is held or the admittance of the students into the Postgraduate course in Embedded Systems.
