Embedded Systems/VLSI

This is basically a matter of your interests and even specific career interests, since both paths require different sets of skills. A quick comparison for your viewing pleasure is shown in the table below:

Microelectronics could also be a very good career option for:

• If you like hardware and have experience in designing electronic circuits. 
• If you are interested in latest technologies such as nanoelectronics and quantum computing. 
• If you want to make good money in the semiconductor industry.

Between M.E. in VLSI and M.Tech in Microelectronics, you need to decide depending upon the goal and priority. Here is the comparison:

Based on placements scenario, ME in VLSI would most probably gain an advantage due to its continuous focus on the high demand VLSI sector. However, MTech in Microelectronics will offer much more career prospects but may also provide excellent placements especially in leading Institutes.

It all depends upon your interests and career goals. So, if you are interested in the basic principles of microchips and have a flair for versatile options, then Microelectronics is the way to go.

Or if you are more interested in the advanced design of complex integrated circuits and have a strong foundation in digital circuits, then VLSI suits the bill. Some of the key differences between both the courses are mentioned in the table below:

Yes, VLSI is a well-paid profession in India. In India, the average annual income for a VLSI engineer is INR 6- 8 LPA. However, the income can vary depending on the engineer's experience, talents, and location. A VLSI engineer with 5+ years of expertise,  can earn INR 8- 12 LPA or more per year in a major city like Bangalore or Pune. Moreover, there are wide range of the job savianlable in India, as mentioned below in the table given below:
