Frequently Asked Questions
What is embedded system ? Why is that relevant ?
An embedded system is a piece of electronic hardware that typically carries out a specific task with the help of software running on it. Whether it's the attractive dashboard in a modern car, a satellite navigation system, the autopilot of an aircraft, a smart TV, or your smartphone, all these technological advancements are powered by meticulously crafted software supported by electronic hardware. With the increasing demand for smart and connected devices, the role of embedded systems continues to expand, driving technological advancements.
Is Embedded Systems a good choice for CS or IT graduates?
Yes, Embedded Systems is a great career choice for graduates in Computer Science (CS), Information Technology (IT), etc., in addition to those from Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Adequate training in basic electronics will bridge any knowledge gaps. Coding skills are complementary, making the learning curve ideal.
Is placement guaranteed?
We provide comprehensive placement assistance for up to one year after course completion. This includes resume preparation, conducting mock tests and interviews, and arranging interviews with reputed organizations offering opportunities in the core embedded domain. Over our decade-long stint, 98% of our students have successfully secured placements upon completing the course.
Are there any prerequisites to enroll in the training?
Embedded System Professional is designed for BE/BTech graduates (ECE, EEE, CSE, IT, etc.) who have a passion for electronics and programming. However, Embedded System Professional is also suitable for BSc/MSc graduates (Electronics or Computer), though it requires more effort and dedication to build the necessary skills. Ultimately, success depends on the capability and passion of the student, regardless of their academic background.
Why is Linux important?
Nearly 80% of OS-based embedded systems are powered by Linux, and this trend continues to grow. Its open-source nature and extensive hardware compatibility make it ideal for embedded and multimedia applications. The dominance of Linux in embedded systems is increasing, and even Android kernel is based on an upstream Linux kernel.
What kind of job can I expect after completing the Embedded System Professional course?
This training will build the skills necessary to take on the role of an embedded software engineer in diverse domains such as automotive, aerospace, defense, space, consumer electronics, healthcare, and industrial sectors. Embedded systems play a crucial role in these industries, driving innovation and technological advancement.
Is the training programme available online or in the classroom?
We offer both online and classroom options for our training programmes, but we recommend a hybrid model with 80% classroom-based and 20% online learning. For embedded systems training, we believe that a purely online approach may not be optimal, especially for beginners.
Is there a demo class or trial period to evaluate the training before making the payment?
Yes, typically students can enroll in the programmes without paying the fee upfront. They are free to attend classes for a period of two weeks and make the payment if they decide to continue with the training. Moreover, our course structure is modular enough for students to choose modules they're interested in and make payments in installments accordingly.
Does the course include hands-on learning with industry-standard tools and software?
Yes, the curriculum is entirely designed by industry experts with over 15 years of experience. Nearly 80% of the course consists of hands-on sessions, promoting a 'learning by doing' approach. Industry-standard tools and software are used in all our training programmes to equip students with the most in-demand skills.
Are there any certifications offered upon completion of the training programme?
We provide a course completion or merit certificate upon finishing the training programmes. Our skill-building programmes are industry-relevant; companies across India trust us to bridge the gap between academia and industry. With a global presence of alumni and over a decade of expertise, we help you gain a competitive advantage.
Are there any specific industries that the training programme focuses on, such as automotive or healthcare?
Embedded System Professional provides foundational knowledge and skills essential for an embedded system engineer. Once placed, you will specialize and adapt to domain-specific technologies. However, our Specialist and Expert training programs offer in-depth coverage of technologies that are domain-agnostic.
Does the training include content on version control systems like Git?
Yes, our Embedded System Professional training covers Git. Understanding and using Git is essential for managing code, collaborating with teams, and maintaining projects. We follow the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in our project-based training, where you will have opportunities to work on modules aligned with recommended industry practices.
Can a student pursue a part-time job while undergoing the training?
It's possible if unavoidable. However, it's not preferred since learning embedded systems requires dedication and hard work during the program. It's recommended to spend 2 to 3 hours per day on self-study and assignments, in addition to 4 hours of classroom and practical sessions.
Is there any training available on IoT, AI, ML, etc.?
Yes, but courses on IoT, AI, and ML are part of our specialisations and are typically offered to students who successfully complete Embedded System Professional. This helps them secure jobs more easily, as we integrate these specialisations into our project-based assignments.
Are there any prerequisites for the expert or specialisations programmes?
