Electrical & Electronics Engineering is one of the important branches of engineering taken up by many students due to the wide scope of employment opportunities. Electronics play an important role in the control and implementation of electrical machines and due to this fact, the course was transformed from the core electrical engineering into a mix of electronics and electrical engineering thereby receiving the name of Electrical & Electronics Engineering or EEE.

With the increasing number of students moving towards this course for quite a number of years now, the number of colleges offering this course in India is also increasing and the list of Government Colleges offering this course in India is given below:

• Government College of Engineering, Salem

• A.C. College of Engineering & Technology, Karaikudi

• Government College of Technology, Coimbatore

• Government College of Engineering, Bargur

• Government College of Engineering, Kannur University, Kerala

• National Institute of Technology, Warangal

Eligibility for seeking admission to the B.E/B. Tech Electrical & Electronics Engineering Course:

For seeking admission to the Bachelor of Engineering/Technology in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, candidates must have completed their higher secondary education in science stream with physics, chemistry and computer science/biology subjects and should have secured not less than 50% of marks. In addition, candidates must get through the entrance examination conducted in the appropriate state for admission of students. Even some institutions, consider All India Engineering Entrance Examination score, which is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education for admission of students to the B.E/B. Tech Electrical & Electronics Engineering course.

Duration of the course and course content:

Like other branches of Engineering, the duration of this branch is also four years and the course covers the subjects like micro processing & interfacing, numerical analysis, power electronics, electric drives & utilization, electrical machine design, communication engineering, extra high voltage engineering, non-linear and digital control systems, computer aided power system analysis, power and control systems, electrical network and communication systems, instrumentation, linear control systems, electrical engineering materials, digital electronics, etc…

Future job scope for Electrical & Electronics Engineering graduates:

Electrical & Electronics engineering graduates are recruited in manufacturing units and many companies like hydro-electric sector, power corporations, manufacturing plants, large scale industries and electricity boards often recruit these professionals for successfully carrying out their projects. They can also find employment opportunities in other sectors like chemical, steel, petroleum, natural gas and design industries. Most of the public sector organization call for applications from electronics & electrical engineering graduates for the position of management trainees and graduate engineers and a candidate finding job in these positions can learn a lot during their training period and can get posted to a higher position with good pay scale after gaining experience. Therefore, there is a very good scope of job opportunities for the Electrical and electronics engineering graduates, not only in public sector, but in private sector organizations as well.
