If you like wires and playing with circuits, go for the electronics branch. Electronics engineering involves the design and testing of electronic circuits that use the properties of components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and transistors to achieve a particular functionality. You will be taught the basics of microprocessors, microcontrollers, their circuits, and working of the insides of a very basic level computer. You will also be given an introduction to robotics.

Description:

If you think being an Electronics Engineer is going to involve designing sophisticated robots for Honda and Toyota, you're slightly mistaken. Core Electronics jobs aren't too easy to get in the first place, but if you get one then it could be pretty interesting. While still in college, the branch involves the detailed study of various components (micro as well as macro) used in electrical instruments.

In the four years, expect to study a few very dull and dry subjects, do a million graphs, and also some complicated numericals. You'll be starting at the absolute grassroot level of electronics, and then moving on to more complex things slowly.

Job Prospects:

Core companies like Philips offer technical job profiles to candidates. Job structure involves synthesizing Integrated Circuits (ICs) maintenance, repair, and development of electronic devices or appliances like televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. No, it is NOT what electricians do!
