Embedded system training is a big hit at Roorkee by Cetpa

ROORKEE: Embedded system has emerged as an integral part of almost all major sectors involving technology. Be it communication, electronics, electrical, name any and it has the application. This has considerably pushed up demand for workforce trained in embedded system which has sent the number of students enrolling in IT training institutes for such courses soaring.

Roorkee 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 Roorkee. 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.
