What should I do after completing BE (ECE)?

Opportunity Type # 1 (Easiest and the most popular): Join a software services company like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Mahindra Satyam, etc. This option has been the most obvious choice of most electronics guys or for that matter most of the engineers irrespective of their branch. Opportunity Type # 2: Join a software development firm which works on the system level. This is a slightly challenging job and you would be expected to know at least somewhat in coding and algorithms. Like, you are expected to write and understand codes written in languages like C/C+/Java etc. However, this is still not useful for an Electronics & Communications engineer. These roles are more suited for a serious Computer Science Engineering student. Option Type # 3: Join a core electronics or telecom related company which actually does the core job or assists in achieving the tasks of the core jobs. Such companies are a bit low in their density, like Freescale Semiconductors, Broadcom, etc. But these are the companies which are doing the stuff you are expected to do as an electronics engineer. Such companies are not only rare, their attrition rates are so low that u won't see any openings for their core positions. Opportunity Type # 4: Appear for government companies which still do core electronics work. Some examples are DRDO, ISRO, BEL, etc. Opportunity Type # 5: A B.Tech or B.E. in Electronics is just not enough. Graduate level education is Electronics is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. It's just an indication that if you desire to understand the field better, you have the basic tools with you. And every serious student must try and gain a deeper understanding and aim of a very focused specialization. I suggest that all serious electronics graduates should go ahead and take admission in M.Tech. appear in GATE and try getting a good college. And if possible, aim for a super-specialization by going for a Ph.D. Opportunity Type # 6: In India, R&D is always on the lower side. And hence we almost never see anything great happening in the field of electronics (or for that matter, Technology). And hence most of the electronics graduates waste their time doing something else. If you seriously want to do something worth, please look beyond India. And as soon as u finish your B.Tech, get into MS + Ph.D courses and chances are very high that you will end up doing something meaningful in electronics. I highly recommend that you choose option # 6.
