Hi candidate!

While specific books may vary between IITs, some commonly used books in BTech Mechanical Engineering are as follows:

• “Textbook of Engineering Mechanics” by R.K Bansal
• “Industrial Engineering and Management” by O.P. Khanna
• “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics” by Richard E. Sonntag
• “Mechanical Engineering Design” by Joseph Shigley and Charles Mischke
• “Manufacturing Engineering and Technology” by S. Kalpakjian and S.R. Schmid

Hope it cleared your query. Good day!

Yes, of course. Top colleges do offer placements to BTech ECE graduates in the final year of their academic journey, with top recruiting companies visiting the college campuses through placement drives and the annual placement fair to hire students with the right skill set, passion, and spark to excel in the field and assist them in driving growth and profitability for their business.

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Circuit Analysis
• Electronic Devices & Circuits
• Signals & Systems
• Digital Electronics
• Communication Engineering
• Control Systems
• Electromagnetics & Antennas
• Computer Programming
• Engineering Mathematics

Note: The list of the curriculum again depends on the colleges.

Engineering job profiles vary across the industry as well as the domain where the person is recruited. Since the popular industries include petrochemicals, civil engineering, construction and other allied industries, the following job profiles are very popular and offer promising career opportunities:

LinkedIn can definitely be a very useful platform for BTech ECE students looking for internships, as you get networking opportunities where you can connect with a plethora of top recruiters, customize your internship search via relevant filters, showcase your skills and achievements through intelligent profile building, and sell yourself to the recruiter in the most professional and personalized way.

The BTech in ECE course typically lasts four years, divided into eight semesters. Each semester includes classroom lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions, and project work. Typically the initial semesters will focus on building a strong foundation in the core subjects and move towards a more specialized insight in later years in the domains of your interest. Certain programs may allow electives that can help you specialize in particular interests like VLSI Design, Robotics, or Telecommunications.

The salary of an engineer depends on various factors like specialization, role, organization, and work. The average starting salary in India for a fresh engineering graduate can range from INR 3-5 Lacs per annum. The salaries vary according to the number of years of experience as well as location. Many companies offer greater salary packages in metropolitan cities which are hub for IT companies as well as other reputed MNCs. The salary also varies as per the entry level of the candidate. After gaining experience of 2-5 years, candidates can expect a salary of INR 8-12 Lacs per annum and subsequently shift from technical to managerial positions.

The ECE syllabus is not similar in all the Indian colleges. Talking about the first year of ECE, the general subjects taught are almost similar that include Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Chemistry, Computer Programming, and the basic fundamentals of the field to provide a basic foundation for the ECE course ahead. Further, the Electronics and Communication Engg. syllabus will differ on the basis of the course level, specialization, and the college offering the course. Different colleges follow their own set of guidelines regarding the ECE course curriculum that includes both core and elective subjects along with practical lab work.
