2.  Electrical Engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications. Electrical Engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas Electronic Engineering deals with the study of small- scale electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits as well as electricity to transmit energy. More recently, the engineering has become blurred by the growth of power electronics. INDIAN CENTRAL SCHOOL - Career Counselling Team, Activity Department 2

4. Eligibility Criteria  The major goal of the Electrical Engineering Eligibility to most engineering courses in India requires passing the (10+2) examination with at least 50% aggregate. Students should be from the science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Maths the subjects. Further, students should appear for an entrance examination that is held on an annual basis for most of the top engineering colleges in India. The entrance examinations are held for many of the reputed engineering colleges at the state and national level. However, the admission to polytechnics offering diploma courses is more relaxed wherein entrance examinations are usually not hosted. Another option is offered by the AMIE or the Associate Membership Examination of the Institute of Engineers that allows people working the private and public sector and even diploma holders to gain a degree by enrolling in some of the distance education institutes in India.

6.  Electrical Engineers are quite good. Making a career in Electrical engineering will be challenging as well as rewarding. Electrical Engineers are required to develop, design, manufacture, and manage electrical and electronic systems. Fresh graduates will get jobs both in public / private sectors/ Defence Services / research also. Educational Institutions and Research establishments recruit electrical engineers as faculty and scientists. They can also enter into self employment by starting own ventures. Teaching career is also rewarding. They can join an engineering college/university as a professor. INDIAN CENTRAL SCHOOL - Career Counselling Team, Activity Department 6

7.  Electrical graduates are employed in Electricity Boards/Utility companies and large industries as engineers and managers, responsible for installation, maintenance, operation of power handling equipments and systems. Industries manufacturing large electrical machines and equipments employ engineers in design, production and testing. Electrical engineers also find employment in atomic power plants, hydroelectric power plants as well as thermal power plants. Many electrical engineering graduates opt for careers in the food, pulp and paper, chemical, aircraft and automobile industries.
