Most Diploma in ECE programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means circuits, signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, microprocessors and VLSI design. Typical first jobs: electronics engineer, embedded engineer, telecom or semiconductor roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Siliguri Institute of Technology for the current semester-wise plan.
