Engineering is an application of Mathematics as well as Science. In the field of Engineering, the evergreen trade is Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering is the core of Engineering. With the development of technology, our citizen life also gets standardized. In every moment of our life, electricity has major impact. We cannot think about our modern life without electricity. The generation of electricity is the most important tasks to retain our standard life. To do this important task, the required professionals are Electrical Engineers. Nowadays without electricity, a drop of water cannot be found in standardized citizen life. Due to heavy demand of electricity, there arises the necessity of Electrical Engineers. So, there are available jobs for the students studying Electrical Engineering. This branch of Engineering deals generation of power and transmission of power and distribution of power. Besides it also relates testing, processing and maintaining of instruments, used in domestic and industrial purposes.
Electrical Engineering
Course Offered:
Academic Bachelor Degrees provided in India are B.Tech. or B.E. in Electrical Engineering.
In previously, government engineering universities are used to provide B.E. degree. Nowadays, all engineering universities are providing B.Tech. degree.
