Chandramouli’s Answer

As a student you can focus on VLSI design.
Within VLSI you can focus on analog domain, digital domain & SOC - usually you will be working within a big team.
You can also develop PCB level expertise in that case you will be able to put together various components to create a final product.
Power electronics is also an interesting field with robotics, electric cars, smart things.
Semiconductor Fabrication is also a very interesting field, and hopefully will be more common place in India in the future.

I would suggest you to pick one area of interest - IOT, Robotics, Power electronics, Defence products (like radar), Electric car (Charging, motors), Computer architecture (RISC-V, ARM), FPGA, Smart meters, Solar energy, AI & ML, GPU, Hardware accelerators and learn in detail about the field.

I can suggest some channels that I really like, you may not understand most of it but even if you understand 5% to start with it is a great start.
Gather like minded students and work together (this is very important you will learn a lot as part of a group)
Try to intern with a company, early exposure is very beneficial
Learn C programming, VHDL if possible. Also Matlab, Ansys, ROS (Robot Operating System)
Learn to use a PCB layout tool
Search for Reference designs & Application notes on IC manufacturer sites - TI, Atmel

Ken’s Answer

As the area of electronics is very broad, it is very important that you get to know yourself better and get to know people doing what you think that you might want to do to see how you might best fit into this very interesting area.


Getting to know yourself and how your personality traits relate to people involved in various career opportunities is very important in your decision making process. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I ran across too many students who had skipped this very important step and ended up in a job situation which for which they were not well suited. Selecting a career area is like buying a pair of shoes. First you have to be properly fitted for the correct size, and then you need to try on and walk in the various shoe options to determine which is fits the best and is most comfortable for you to wear. Following are some important steps which I developed during my career which have been helpful to many .

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The first step is to take an interest and aptitude test and have it interpreted by your school counselor to see if you share the personality traits necessary to enter the field. You might want to do this again upon entry into college, as the interpretation might differ slightly due to the course offering of the school. However, do not wait until entering college, as the information from the test will help to determine the courses that you take in high school. Too many students, due to poor planning, end up paying for courses in college which they could have taken for free in high school.
Next, when you have the results of the testing, talk to the person at your high school and college who tracks and works with graduates to arrange to talk to, visit, and possibly shadow people doing what you think that you might want to do, so that you can get know what they are doing and how they got there. Here are some tips: ## http://www.wikihow.com/Network ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/nonawkward-ways-to-start-and-end-networking-conversations ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/4-questions-to-ask-your-network-besides-can-you-get-me-a-job?ref=carousel-slide-1 ##
Locate and attend meetings of professional associations to which people who are doing what you think that you want to do belong, so that you can get their advice. These associations may offer or know of intern, coop, shadowing, and scholarship opportunities. These associations are the means whereby the professionals keep abreast of their career area following college and advance in their career. You can locate them by asking your school academic advisor, favorite teachers, and the reference librarian at your local library. Here are some tips: ## https://www.careeronestop.org/BusinessCenter/Toolkit/find-professional-associations.aspx?&frd=true ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/9-tips-for-navigating-your-first-networking-event ##
It is very important to express your appreciation to those who help you along the way to be able to continue to receive helpful information and to create important networking contacts along the way. Here are some good tips: ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-informational-interview-thank-you-note-smart-people-know-to-send?ref=recently-published-2 ## ## https://www.themuse.com/advice/3-tips-for-writing-a-thank-you-note-thatll-make-you-look-like-the-best-candidate-alive?bsft_eid=7e230cba-a92f-4ec7-8ca3-2f50c8fc9c3c&bsft_pid=d08b95c2-bc8f-4eae-8618-d0826841a284&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_20171020&utm_source=blueshift&utm_content=daily_20171020&bsft_clkid=edfe52ae-9e40-4d90-8e6a-e0bb76116570&bsft_uid=54658fa1-0090-41fd-b88c-20a86c513a6c&bsft_mid=214115cb-cca2-4aec-aa86-92a31d371185&bsft_pp=2 ##
Here are some very interesting and helpful links that will allow you to learn more about electronics and other engineering related areas. Even though one appears to be aimed at girls, it is the best explanation of engineering which I have encountered: ## https://www.engineergirl.org/ ## ## http://www.futureengineers.org/ ## ## https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43zVcmTJSKM ##
