Computers & IT (Non-Engg)

If you take FPGA used for implementing DSP applications, you need knowledge of DSP algorithms. But the challenge is more towards designing the hardware than writing algorithms for filters which is not tough as there is a lot of references already available. Most of the engineering jobs related to DSP do not actually require that much mathematics which is generally taught in the curriculum. There is more expectation of writing C/MATLAB synthesized codes. So yes, to an extent the challenges seem to be more in RF for communications or designing chips for it. However, if you pick up Machine learning and focus more on algorithms, then your spectrum as a DSP engineer will widen drastically. Also, there is scope for DSP in communications but the current trend is not good for these companies. Thank you.

The role of ethical hackers is to check the vulnerability of the system's software from foreign attack. An ethical hacker is a computer and network expert who attacks a security system on behalf of its owners, seeking vulnerabilities that a malicious hacker could exploit. These types of hacking is said to be ethical because this hacking is done by the consent of owners to check its intrinsic and extrinsic security. According to the report by CNBC, India requires more than 150,000 ethical hackers, but currently, India is able to produce 25000 -30,000 only. Since today's unethical hackers are more qualified and trained, you also must have to be skilled to cope with them. An ethical hacker also should have a basic understanding of TCP/IP protocols such as SMTP, ICMP and HTTP. To conclude, there is huge demand and need of Skilled Ethical hackers in India. Provided you must have to choose your success path wisely. Thank you.

They can work in the research and development department of firms such as the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Electronics Corporation of India Limited and National Intelligence Council. They can seek employment as Junior Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow in IITs or IIsc. A fresh graduate can also work as management trainee in such organizations. Private firms offer plenty of job opportunities for such candidates, where one can work as Application Consultants, Field Application Engineer, Design Engineer etc. Some of the popular firms are:
1) ARM embedded technologies
2) Alliance Semiconductors
3) TCS
4) Texas Instruments
5) Transwitch

The financial accounting module helps employees to manage data involved in any financial and business transactions in a unified system. This module functions very well for reporting requirements. The SAP FI module is very flexible and functions well in any type of economic situation. Be it a smaller organization or a larger organisation, SAP implementation helps in consolidating data for diverse business transactions and legal requirements. The Financial Accounting module helps one to get a real-time financial position of an enterprise in the market. SAP FI incorporates other SAP modules such as SAP SD, SAP MM, SAP PP, Payroll and more for better work results. Thank you.

Two different domains that cannot be compared. It's like comparing apples and oranges. While software testing involves finding errors in a software programme and ensuring it delivers to certain benchmarks, networking involves setting up, administration and management of a network infrastructure. Both have their pros and cons. While networking has been in the market for a long time, it provides an evergreen job opportunity with, however, not-so-decent salary package. On the other hand, Software Testing ensures a better salary package. However, the market is currently over-saturated with software testers. Hence, the job prospect is currently unpredictable. Also, both the domains mentioned in the question are suffering from the flak of being taken over by automation, which might result in even lower employment. Thank you.

BCA as the course curriculum of BCA in most colleges of India includes the syllabus of Polytechnic along with other topics as well. If the question is about pursuing Polytechnic in a different domain altogether, then it is my advice to choose a stream in which a person wants to establish a career in and then proceed further. Pursuing 2 different courses in different domains rarely leads to something good and mostly results in the career path going astray. Therefore, I would advice to first determine which domain a person wants to establish a career in, compare the syllabus of the various courses in the domain and then take a decision accordingly. Thank you.
