Embedded Systems/VLSI Placement

Hi Sayantan,
Read this:
I attended Linux device driver and kernel programming from Best Training Institute in Bangalore-Learnbay.in (company provide Embedded systems training in Bangalore)
and it was very much useful for me in gaining LDD & kernel knowledge and in interview preparation, specially for tier one companies in embedded domain like Intel, Samsung etc.
Their course content is very good and in-depth, it is more of practical than theory, and lot of my doubts in kernel related to locking , Scheduling and debugging (specially spin-lock , semaphore , mutex, process & memory management) got cleared after doing practicals and real time project.
They concentrate more on real word problem and solving existing bug in Linux kernel, which I feel is the most important thing for anyone who is doing such advance courses. because theory you can get very easily in book or internet.
Overall I would suggest you to attend a demo class in Embedded Systems Training at LearnBay before deciding.
I hope it is clear.
All the best.

Hi,
There is scope in every field. You must opt for the one which matches your interest and skills as it will help you to achieve your long term career goal.
1) VLSI :

2) Embedded Systems :
* An embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system, often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.
* There is good scope for the electrical and electronics students because many MNCs are hiring the students mostly on the background of embedded systems course as this course is very important in the electronics field.
Scope is in Communication, Industrial Tools, Medical Equipment, Power Electronics, Control System.
* As far as scope and salary is concerned, it depends on you. If you have interest in the field then you may get promoted and enjoy the benefits of getting promoted with increased salary.
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful.
