IETE AMIETE-ET (Old Scheme) course is taught in almost all engineering college of repute as well as in colleges teaching general electronics. Like any other important course this too has 60 hours lecture besides compulsory laboratory classes as well. It aims to teach all that is needed for the proper understanding of the subject.

Importance of the paper

The course and the lab work does justify the things that need to be taught for correct understanding of the basics. In the field of electronics engineering it is one of the most vital subjects that are needed for the curriculum. Professionals trained in circuit theory and design are hired by the top most companies of the nation as well as world.
