What is it like taking ECE in NIT Jamshedpur?

As an ECE student, you will be taught C and Data structures as a part of the ECE curriculum and not an extra subject. One needs to have good programming skills to excel in this branch. A skilled ECE engineer is someone who has a strong grasp of concepts as well as programming skills. He can easily get a job in core companies and need not opt for software-based jobs.

Electronics

• Writing code in Embedded C or some other assembly language for processors, controllers, and high-end boards.
   
• In the VLSI domain, you have to write code in Verilog or VHDL to design a circuit/ chips.
• In communication, MATLAB - a widely used computing tool - C like a simple programming language used in it.

Networks

• This requires a deep understanding of concepts and having to work with software and NW-related languages.

Overall, ECE students require good programming skills to apply/ test/ design their core concepts in the real world. Due to some similarities in the curriculum, many software companies allow ECE, and EEE students to sit with CS and IT for placements.
