About the course

It is a growing industry and has created ample scope for people joining telecommunication engineering. Also the society depends heavily on the breakthroughs in telecommunication engineering. Applications include satellites, next generation mobile phone, air traffic control, the internet and much more. Multimedia services are opening up communications possibilities and therefore a number of employment opportunities will arise in future. Employers include manufactures of radio, television, and other audio/visual, broadcasting, and receiving equipment. Others include the developers of hardware and associated software, including computers systems, interfaces, security devices, data concentration, data transmission, signaling, satellite and radio communications and telephone equipment. Subjects on antenna theory, digital communication, information theory and coding, microwaves, DSP and its architecture, microcontroller applications, analog communication and microprocessors are part of the curriculum. Analytical, mathematical, conceptual and practical skills are essential of this course.
