The telecom sector is growing at a tremendous pace. India is among the few countries, which have realized the potential of Telecom and IT in the process of Economic growth. However, the growth of trained manpower in this sector is far from adequate. The convergence has led to technology providers shifting from proprietary to open systems, which in turn created ample employment opportunities for equipment manufacturers, suppliers and service providers and thus increased the need for trained managers to manage these services.
A Telecommunication Engineering Course imparts training to students on various telecommunication devices like mobile phones, cable TV, computer networking, satellites, radar, navigation, aviation etc. India is facing a huge demand for telecommunication engineers due to rapid growth in the field of satellites, internet and mobile telephony.
Aspirants for Telecommunication Engineering must have passed the Higher Secondary or 10+2 Examination with physics, chemistry and mathematics as compulsory subjects to become eligible for different entrance tests like the IIT Joint Entrance Examinations and the Joint Entrance Examinations conducted by various states.
For obtaining a post- graduation degree a student should have a B.Tech degree in telecommunication from any of A.I.C.T.E (All India Council of Technical Education) approved Universities.
Once familiar with the skills in designing, installing and troubleshooting telecom networks, candidates can look forward to thousands of opportunities in various companies like VSNL, Airtel, Vodafone BSNL, Reliance, Tata Indicom and others.
Besides, global telecom giants like Nokia, Siemens, Motorola or Apple Technologies regularly employ telecom engineers for their various projects running in various parts of the world. Going by a survey by ‘Delloite Touche’, over 275,000 telecom jobs are coming to India very shortly.
An analytical bent of mind is the prerequisite for this profession.
A telecommunication engineer should also be well versed in technical writing and project management skills besides possessing a sound knowledge of both computer hardware and software.
Almost all engineering colleges in the country offer BE/BTech program in telecommunication engineering.
