Introduction to Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Electronics is a branch of engineering concerned with the practical application of electricity in all its forms, including those of the field of electronics. Electronics is that branch of electrical engineering concerned with the uses of the electromagnetic spectrum and with the application of such electronic devices as integrated circuits and transistors.
The distinction between electrical engineering and electronics is usually based on the comparative strength of electric currents used. In this sense, electricals are the branch dealing with ‘heavy current’ that is electric light and power systems and apparatuses whereas electronics deals with such light current applications as telephone and radio, etc. Electrical & Electronics engineering is a growing and one of the most sought disciplines with the electrical engineering and electronics engineering.

Eligibility of B.Tech/BE Electrical & Electronics Engineering
The students who have passed PUC or 10+2 with a science background can join the B.Tech/BE Electrical & Electronics Engineering course. The students interested in joining B.Tech course are required to qualify the competitive exams like CET/COMED-K/JEE with high marks in order to get merit seats in various colleges.
Admission Procedures
The students with relevant qualifications can join B.Tech/BE courses by two modes. The first one is Merit based admission and the second one is Direct admission.
Let’s discuss in detail
Merit Admission
The students who are interested to join B.Tech/BE Electrical & Electronics Engineering degree should mandatorily appear for CET/COMED-K/JEE or institutional-based entrance exams and undergo counselling to choose their desired colleges for merit seats. The engineering college allotts the merit seats to the students according to their rankings and marks obtained by them in their entrance exams and marks scored in PUC or 10+2.
There are two types of counselling for the B.Tech/BE students
1. Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Counselling
The students who are interested to join the government engineering colleges and other engineering colleges affiliated to the government should undergo the counselling procedures of Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).
The students who intend to join for the merit seats under government quota are required to complete the counselling procedures and join for the B.Tech/BE programmes in their chosen colleges. The Engineering colleges under the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) are affiliated to the Visveswaraya Technological University (VTU).
2. COMED-K Counselling
The students who are interested to join the private autonomous engineering colleges and deemed universities that are affiliated to All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) are required to apply for the COMED-K counselling procedures. The students should qualify the COMED-K counselling procedures to get admission to their desired private autonomous engineering colleges or deemed universities for Engineering programmes.
Direct Admission
The students have another option of getting admission to B.Tech/BE Electrical & Electronics Engineering course by direct admission process. Under this mode of admission, the students are given direct admission to their desired colleges under management quota. The direct admission students enjoy many special privileges like that they are not required to apply for any entrance exam for getting admissions. They have an option to choose their desired colleges and universities and book their seats in advance even before the starting of the academic year. The students who are interested in direct admissions are required to contact Galaxy Educational Services for more details.
