⚡ EEE Placement Deep-Dive: Electrical & Electronics

Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) sits at the heart of the power industry, renewable energy, and the electric vehicle (EV) revolution.

🏗️ Core Technical Pillars

1. Power Systems & Machines

  • Power Systems: Generation, Transmission, and Distribution. Protection systems (Relays, Circuit Breakers).
  • Machines: Transformers, DC Motors, Induction Motors, Synchronous Machines.
  • Key Question: "Explain the Working Principle of a 3-Phase Induction Motor."

2. Control Systems & Power Electronics

  • Control Systems: Transfer functions, Stability analysis (Root Locus, Bode Plot).
  • Power Electronics: Converters (AC-DC, DC-DC), Inverters, Thyristors, MOSFETs in power applications.
  • Key Question: "Why are Buck-Boost converters used in Electric Vehicles?"

3. Circuit Theory & Networks

  • Theorems: Thevenin’s, Norton’s, Maximum Power Transfer.
  • Analysis: AC/DC circuit analysis, Resonance.

🔋 The EV & Renewable Frontier

This is the fastest-growing sector for EEE graduates. * Battery Management Systems (BMS): Charging profiles, thermal management. * Solar/Wind Integration: Smart grids and microgrids. * Tools to Learn: MATLAB/Simulink (Non-negotiable), PSpice, LabVIEW.

🏢 Top Recruiter Profiles

  • Public Sector (PSUs): PGCIL, NTPC, ONGC, BHEL.
