Electrical and electronics engineering is a relatively new field. It influences every aspect of our modern lives. They develop and design new innovations, technologies and also find ways to improve the existing ones. Many MNCs and research organizations are investing in India which are creating more jobs. E.E.E. works in large-scale production companies such as manufacturing, IT industry, telecommunications and aerospace. Their opportunities aren't just limited to private industries, government sectors also provide plenty of jobs for electrical and electronics engineers.
With the increasing demand for electrical and electronics engineers, the threshold of skills has also increased. Electrical and electronics engineering has become a much more sought after course as it has the best of both electrical engineering and electronics. A career in electrical and electronics engineering is far-reaching from the tech industry to manufacturing industries. Many graduates can also go into Research and Development (R&D) for which many companies pay a hefty salary. They can always opt for a teaching profession after completing their doctorate. Every large manufacturing or production company requires a high amount of electricity. That is why mostly manufacturing and production companies hire electrical and electronics engineering engineers. They design and maintain electrical systems which are needed to keep these production houses running. Apart from the production and manufacturing sectors,electrical and electronics engineers also work in electric power plants. These electric power plants can be owned by private companies or governments.

Hello,
As you have mentioned you have done diploma in electronics and communication it will be best if you pursue bachelors in same branch as you have basic knowledge of the subject. But talking about future scope it will be usefull if you try computer science or information technology.
Cs and It have gained importance due to pandemic as everything has moved to digital
Here are few colleges which are best for these courses
Delhi technological university
Jamia millia islamia university
IIT delhi
IIIT delhi
Manipal university

Hi Aspirant,
Electrical and Communication Engineering has a much better future ahead since in India there is a lot of telecommunication systems growing overall and the placements are also decent in this field.If you even study from an average B tech college you get fair placements.If you pass out from top institutes then there are high chances that you get hired by telecommunication companies like jio,airtel etc.Moreover you can also sit in Software companies interview which is quite beneficial.So it is best to go for Electronics and communication engineering.
All the best.
