For getting admission to Microelectronics courses, it is very important for you to meet the eligibility criteria. For UG courses, you should get a minimum of 50 to 60% marks in Class 12 in the PCM subjects. Talking about the PG courses, you should have done BTech in ECE, or a related field with at least 55 to 60% marks. Also, you should give relevant entrance tests and score very good marks to be able to get a seat at a reputed college.

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.

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:
| Aspect | Microelectronics | VLSI |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Spreads and covers a range of aspects of microchip design and fabrication | Deeper into the design and realization of very large-scale integrated circuits |
| Specialisations | Analog circuits, digital circuits, mixed-signal circuits, MEMS, etc. | Digital design, physical design, verification and testing, etc. |
| Job Prospects | Varied and diverse across several fields of consumer electronics, communication, healthcare, etc. | Focused in the semiconductor industry and related industries Academic focus |
| Educational focus | Fundamentals of microelectronics, including device physics, circuit design, and fabrication processes | Advanced topics in VLSI design, such as computer-aided design (CAD) tools, low-power design, and high-performance design |
