M. Tech. - Electrical and Electronics Engineering

• M.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) is the 2 years full-time academic course leading to the postgraduate degree in this field. Each year of the course will consist of 2 semesters.
• It is mandatory for the students to qualify each semester separately for the successful completion of course.
• In India, there are many well-known private and government institutions which offer M.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
• The tuition fee for this course in most of the private colleges is between 3.5 to 4 lakh for a period of 2 years.
• This field of engineering combines two disciplines of engineering i.e. electrical engineering and electronics engineering. Let’s discuss them separately,
• Electrical Engineering is that branch of engineering which deals with the study and applications of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism.
• Electronics engineering deals with the use of semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors and ICs for designing the electronic circuits, devices, microprocessors, microcontrollers and other systems.

The students who opt this course can be specialized in areas such as 
•    Power Electronics
•    Control Systems
•    Digital Electronics
•    Digital Communications
•    Microwave and Radar Engineering
•    Instrumentation and Control
•    Power Systems
•    VLSI/Micro Electronics

Eligibility Criteria:
Applicants should be the holder of Bachelor of Technology/Engineering degree (B.Tech/B.E.) in the same discipline. Students are required to pass the graduation examination with at least 50% marks. The requirement of minimum marks may vary from college to college.

Admission Procedure:
•    The admission process begins with the filling of application form.
•    In most of the colleges, admission into Master of Technology (M.Tech) would be made through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). It is the prominent entrance test for taking admission into the first year of M.Tech.
•    In addition of considering GATE scores, some institutions also consider the scores of written test and interview conducted by them for providing admission.
•    Some of the colleges provides direct admission based on marks secured in graduation examination.
•    Other M.Tech entrance tests are AP PGECET, TS PGECET, VITMEE, TANCET, GITAM GAT and much more.
•    At last, the seats will be allotted through counseling.

Job Prospects:
Job scope for this field expert is really broad. Candidates who have completed M.Tech in Electrical and Electronics engineering have the opportunity to find employment in public and private sector both.
The employment areas for such professionals exists in atomic power plants, hydroelectric power plants, thermal power plants, hydro-electricity centers, power corporations, production plants, petroleum, steel and gas plants.
Teaching is one of the reputed professions which can be opted by postgraduates of EEE. One can join engineering institutions as the assistant professor. After qualifying UGC-NET, a person can also apply for the government job in teaching field. Those who want to go for research in this field can further pursue Ph.D in the same.
