The scope for any EC engineer is increasing day by day.

Most of the things around you are becoming smarter. And making things smarter begin with hardware that is capable of sharing data and information about the thing.

Earlier the automotive industry were in the hands of mechanical students. With the advent of electric cars or hybrid cars, there is a drastic shift towards electronics. Instrument cluster, OBDII, Semi-autonomous cars, GPS systems, driverless cars are bringing in more and more demand for EE/EC engineers.

If you take all the current development as a wholistic picture there is over 3x increase in demand for EC engineers per yer. And it has been increasing exponentially. Hardware, Firmware and software are being more and more integrated and interdependent with one another.

As things are becoming smarter and smaller, the need for better VLSI engineers is ever increasing. With advent of Communication techinques, there is a lot of demand in the telecom industry.

It’s just that most EC engineers used to go with the herd. IT companies hire from every domain. I know Civil and Mech grads who are working in IT. I know BCA/MCA people who are working in IT. Most of the vanilla IT work is not degree dependent unlike most core jobs. Only if you want to scale up the corporate ladder would you need deeper technical and managerial skills.
