Career
My son recently completed his B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) from VIT Vellore, achieving a commendable CGPA of 8.86. However, he was unfortunately unable to secure a campus placement. I am seeking guidance on potential next steps for his career path.
Ans: Anuj Sir, Any specific reason for not getting placed through VIT-Campus? Coming to your question: Your son has a solid academic foundation in ECE but needs strategic steps to enter the job market. He should consider applying for roles in telecom, electronics, and IT sectors while simultaneously exploring higher studies like M.Tech or specialized certifications to boost his profile. Government sector jobs and PSUs are excellent options if he is interested in stable careers. Short-term courses in trending technologies and internships will enhance his practical skills. If inclined towards academia or research, pursuing a PhD or teaching can be rewarding. Engaging with a career counselor can provide personalized guidance to navigate options effectively. With focused effort and skill enhancement, your son can successfully launch his career despite missing campus placements. All the best for your son's bright future!

"Thanks for your reply. My son is joining a one-year PG Diploma in VLSI at IIT Bhubaneswar (Orissa) with Mosfet Lab. He's also looking to join a good company in the electronics, telecom, or IT sector in parallel. Please suggest some options and it will be a great help for me from your side "
Ans: Your son’s decision to pursue a one-year PG Diploma in VLSI at IIT Bhubaneswar after his BTech in ECE from VIT Vellore is excellent, as VLSI is a high-demand field in India and globally. He should target leading semiconductor and VLSI companies such as Intel, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Broadcom, NXP Semiconductors, Synopsys, Cadence, and Texas Instruments, which offer roles like VLSI Design Engineer, Verification Engineer, and Physical Design Engineer. Major IT firms like HCL, Wipro, TCS, and Infosys also have VLSI and embedded systems divisions, providing additional opportunities. In the telecom sector, companies such as Cisco, Ericsson, Samsung, and Tejas Networks offer roles in communication systems and embedded hardware. He can also consider Indian startups and design houses like Sankalp Semiconductor and Maven Silicon for hands-on experience. To maximize job prospects, he should leverage IIT Bhubaneswar’s placement cell, apply for internships and entry-level roles, and network through industry events and alumni. Mastery of core skills like Verilog, VHDL, ASIC/FPGA design, and EDA tools is crucial. By combining his advanced training with active job searching and networking, he will be well-positioned for a rewarding career in VLSI, electronics, telecom, or IT sectors.
