Re: future studies
there are so many core companies there in india ..some more are going to come soon ..like nokia, motorola etc
it is really difficult to get into the elite companies like INTEL , AMD , etc
but u can easily go into many of startups ...
for all these .. u need very good basics ...and some good projects
these are just enough .. if u show them tat u learnt these well ..they will beleive that u will do well in the company as well...
if u want to get into VLSI ...learn some ASIC design, VHDL..and stuff
for DSP ..work with some processors ..ADSP , TMS...
