The Emertxe Embedded systems course with placements lays very stress on improving skills. The key differentiation is to showcase differentiating skill-sets to companies. Typically Placements for our Embedded Systems students at Emertxe start in after the 4th month onward. Students have to obtain first level Linux and programming languages skills (Linux Systems and C & Data Structure modules) in order to start applying for placements.

 

However placements will continue remaining part of the course and up to two years after course completion.

Emertxe is one of the best Embedded Institutes with Placements. Students are provided with an ample number of placement opportunities. During the time of admission we provide a written commitment to every student. It will clearly mention Placement opportunities in Embedded Systems for Freshers in core Embedded Systems companies. This is more than enough to convert it into a job.

 

Every student goes through rigorous training in all the Embedded systems course modules with continuous assessment. As long as students regularly follow the classes, assignments and mini-projects, they will not face any issue in getting a job. Our placement department will do the rest of the job. As per our statistics, every student who has completed their course assignments and their assigned projects in Embedded Systems gets placed by their 3rd to 4th interview.

Please check out our placements page to get details of recent placement companies recruiting for fresher jobs. We strongly recommend you to connect with our Social Media pages to get regular updates on companies visited and much more information related to embedded industry.

Resumes play a very important role in getting a profile shortlisted. It should demonstrate necessary technical skill-sets and project output to showcase an individual’s capability. Based on our experience we observed students won’t spend much time in building a quality resume and tend to copy/paste from their friends/colleagues. Added to that, today’s fresh engineers don’t have much to write in their resume by the end of their degree.
