If you want to get admission to Microelectronics course at the PG level, you need to clear relevant entrance exams like the GATE exam, which is one of the most competitive engineering exams for postgraduate courses. Further, several colleges also take their own entrance tests for MTech admissions like BITS HD conducted by BITS Pilani.
You should get excellent marks in the exam as the competition is quite high for colleges like the IITs and NITs where the cutoffs are difficult to meet. Best wishes!

You should get at least 50 to 60% marks in the PCM subjects for getting admission to integrated BTech-MTech Microelectronics courses. For an ECE, degree, you should have completed your graduation in ECE, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with at least 55 to 60% marks.
Further, you need to give relevant entrance exams like GATE, JEE Main, JEE Advanced, etc. and fill out the college application forms before the last date. After the exam results are out and you've got your marks, you need to apply for the college counseling process that is meant for seat allotment purposes.
After getting the seat, you have

BITS Pilani looks into M.E. CGPA for placements rather than 10th, 12th, or graduation marks. However, overall academic performance may be taken into consideration in some cases:
Cut-off for specific companies: There are certain companies that have strict minimum CGPA cut-offs for eligibility in their recruitment process. These cut-offs vary company-wise and are quite often on the higher side than the institute's average cut-off.
Interview shortlisting: although the CGPA remains the most important criterion, a student can get an interview call based on other parameters like projects, extra-curricular activities, and aptitude test performa

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:
| Feature | Microelectronics | Embedded Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Hardware design, chip development | Combining hardware and software to create intelligent devices |
| Tasks | Design circuits, optimise fabrication processes | Develop firmware, interface with hardware, write real-time code |
| Industries | Semiconductor, consumer electronics, medical devices | Automotive, robotics, aerospace, Internet of Things (IoT) |
| Skills | Strong understanding of electronics, physics, circuit design | Programming skills (C, C++), knowledge of microcontrollers, operating systems |
| Salary | Generally high, with potential for specialization | Can be comparable to microelectronics, varies depending on experience and industry |
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.
