Biomedical Engineering which studies about designing prosthetic devices and electronic systems for medical use, develop monitoring and imaging equipment for clinics and hospitals, and devise biomedical research tools.

Analog and Digital Electronics which studies about designing electronic systems and subsystems for the home entertainment, telecommunication, automotive, aircraft, instrumentation, and manufacturing industries. Communications and Digital Processing Specialists in these areas design circuits and software for transmitters and receivers, devise speech and video compression algorithms, and develop computer programs and systems for recording, analyzing and displaying all types of digital and analog information.

Power electronics device systems that generate and distribute electrical energy to homes and businesses, and design more efficient motors and generators.

Fields, magnetics and optics they devise methods to squeeze ever-larger amounts of data onto magnetic storage devices, such as discs. Optical engineers use light to solve diverse problems in telecommunications, data storage, laser design, sensing and imaging systems, and metrology, apply microwave and high frequency electromagnetic technology to telecommunications, radar, and high-speed circuit design.

Semi-conductor devices Engineers in this area apply their knowledge of solid-state physics to design improved logic gates, transistors, micro-lasers, photo detectors, and microwave devices.

Microelectronic processing Specialists study the mechanical, chemical, optical, and electrical properties of materials used in integrated circuits and develop new semiconductor materials.

An electronics engineer can get a job in Central Government, State Governments and their sponsored corporations in public enterprises and the private organizations like All India Radio, Indian Telephone Industries, MTNL, National Physical Laboratories, AIR, Civil Aviation Department; Post and Telegraph Department; Co-ordination Department, National Physical Laboratory, Bharat Electronics Limited, Development Centers in various States etc. dealing in manufacture, sales and services of electronics consumer goods and appliances. Electronics engineers are also absorbed into the entertainment transmission industry, research establishments, and defense.

You can go for M.E or M.tech in Electronics Engineering. As you want to become an enterpreneur, you may consider doing M.B.A along with a degree in Engineering. You can start their own business by manufacture electronic parts, goods and components. He can also start a repair or assembly shop for television receivers, amplifiers, recording equipment etc. Since electronics is a labour intensive and talent -oriented field, it gives high returns for a given initial investment. Loan facilities are offered by banks and Small Scale Industries Development Corporations for starting a business.
