Embedded Systems/VLSI

Hi,
There is scope in every field. You must opt for the one which matches your interest and skills as it will help you to achieve your long term career goal.
1) VLSI :
* If you are planning to begin a career in the semiconductor industry then you must have a sound knowledge of jobs and growth opportunities in the VLSI domain. The VLSI industry is growing at a fast pace and requires skilled professionals.
* Some of the companies which employ VLSI professionals are :
-Analog Devices
-Cadence
-Synopsys
-Cypress Semiconductor
-HCL Technologies
-Texas Instruments (TI)
-PMC Sierra
-Alliance Semiconductor
-Intel
-Micron Tech
-Philips Semiconductor
-Qualcomm
-Wipro
-EInfochips
* Salary :
Salary depends on various parameters such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience, etc.
But, still, to give you a brief idea, as a fresher, you can expect a salary of up to Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 per month.
PG students can earn up to Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 a month.
As an experienced professional, you can expect to earn Rs. 50,000 to 1, 00,000 per month.

2) Embedded Systems :
* An embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.
* There is good scope for the electrical and electronics students because many MNCs are hiring the students mostly on the background of embedded systems course as this course is very important in the electronics field.
Scope is in Communication, Industrial Tools, Medical Equipment, Power Electronics, Control System.
* As far as scope and salary is concerned, it depends on you. If you have interest in the field then you may get promoted and enjoy the benefits of getting promoted with increased salary.

Hi Sharath,
It is difficult to suggest a university without knowing your academic background and percentage. Also some of the Universities require a good GRE score as well.
But to give you a idea about the Universities. You can look for the Universities that offer Electrical and Computer Engineering. Most universities will have modules available within the above MS or MEng program either with Thesis or Non-Thesis.
Some of the Universities that have active research in the VLSI include University of Toronto, Calgary, Windsor, Guelph, Concordia.
You can write to me with detailed profile, so that I can guide you better.
