Noida being a semiconductor design hub with some big names in the industry present, along with huge presence of IT sector here, has led to embedded system training providers to do rather well. "Number of students opting for embedded systems is increasing at a staggering rate," said Pravjot Singh, director and COO of EmbLogic Embedded Technologies. "There is an increased realisation that embedded systems is not merely for electronics engineering students, but also for students from streams like computer science, telecommunications, electrical and instrumentation technology."
EmbLogic is a technology design, integration and devices realisation company, providing end-to-end embedded solutions for product development and deployment based in Noida. Institutes state that they have seen 30 to 50 percent growth in student registration annually in last five years.
However, they point out that it is still not enough to meet the rising demand for engineers. "It is still way short of the required mark. At this rate it will take minimum 10 years for Indian market to have sufficient number," said Singh. He added that even in other countries, growth rate is hovering around 30 percent approximately.
Singh pointed out that only 3 percent of required skilled workforce is available in India. This has resulted in heavy losses to design/product based companies as the work has to be outsourced abroad. But players unanimously say that the change in trend towards embedded system training is definitely heartening to see. Main reason attributed to increase in number of students enrolling is the rising awareness among students about its prospects.
"Numerous companies have demand for embedded engineers with experience in designing and implementation," said Vikas Kalra,technical marketing director, Cetpa Infotech, another leading institute from Noida. "We can say good placement opportunity and tremendous growth is the main reason for increase in number of students enrolling."
Kalra said that Noida is always the first choice for students to undergo training on various cutting edge technologies like embedded systems. "Major players of semiconductor industries like Cadence, Freescale, Mentor Graphics and others are present in Noida, and it definitely helps students to learn about placement requirements and recruitment cycle." He added that CETPA also invites officials from these companies to visit institute and give guest lectures and students interaction to enrich their learning experience.
The training basically trains students to design embedded devices. It involves Hardware designing, embedded C programming, firmware design, Linux operating system internals, embedded operating systems design, device driver development, protocols design and implementing, embedded processors design and architecture, embedded applications development.
The main reason that necessitates training in embedded design is the ever-changing technology. It is the most dynamic aspect of any industry and a person regularly dealing with it needs to be updated.

It is not just increasing number of students that emphasises the importance of embedded system training. "Many corporate houses have trusted on our training methodology by outsourcing their training requirements to us," said Kalra.
"Our clients for embedded Embedded System training are from core electronics sectors, small & medium scale companies engaged in embedded application development, Chip design, embedded product development and related domains. Two of CETPA's big embedded system based clients are Samtel Displays in Ghaziabad, and Central Electronics Limited (a public sector undertaking)" Most players who provide training to companies have experienced increase in the number approaching them. Singh added that companies are struggling to train and upgrade employees because of high cost of training and less effective trainers.
"Major sectors where recruitments happen for embedded engineers are robotics, home appliances, telecom, automobiles, aviation, defence and signalling, aerospace," said Nilesh Rastogi, spokesperson for ITSpark, an IT training centre Noida.
Players also said not only has there been an increase in the number of opportunities, even remuneration after course completion has gone up well. According to them, average salary for starters is in the range of Rs 4.2 to Rs 4.5 lakh.
"The fee structure for embedded system training depends upon course modules. Fees structure ranges from Rs 6,000 to Rs 50,000 per candidate depending upon duration and modules," said Kalra. The duration can range from 3 months to 6 months.
