To become an electronics engineer one needs to
have a degree in electronics engineering (BE / B.Tech) or must have

through 'JEE' (Joint Entrance Exam) and for other major institutions
through AIEEE (All India Engineering/Pharmacy/Architecture Entrance
Examination) OR their own separate entrance exams and other state
level and national level exams.
The duration is 4 Years for BE / B.Tech courses. The
diploma courses in polytechnics are of 3 years duration.
The focus in the study programme is on understanding
electronic networks and devices, electromagnetic field theory,
computer fundamentals, as also their protection, and communication
and control systems.
creative and inventive mind and an interest in
physics and mathematics is essential to take up this challenging
career. They should have good analytical skills, an eye for detail,
