I completed my BE (ET&T-2011) from YITM Rajnandgaon C.G. and MTech in VLSI design (2015) from SSCE&T Bhilai C.G. With family I moved to Pune after my wedding and thought of pursuing carrier in pure technical field after family settlements. With Career gap and changing domain, I thought getting into Embedded systems will be impossible but finally got into Embedded systems job in Rubix Technologies. Thanks to Emertxe team . I joined online ECEP program in year 2022. The kind of support and guidance I got from Emertxe even online is appreciable .The people were always approachable in case of any query or doubt . Teaching at Emertxe is excellent with highly skilled mentors, well organized modules which include regular classes, lab sessions, hands on projects. The assignments based on the every topic help us understand the concepts very well. I would like to thank all the faculty members of Emertxe for their support and interview preparation sessions. I will highly recommend this to anyone who wanted to pursue carrier Embedded domain as technical field.

I'm Devaraju M S and I completed my Engineering in ECE branch. I feel Emertxe was the best decision that I took, with the good method of teaching from the institute I have been placed in BNA technology pvt Ltd. I'd say this is the best place to get hands-on experience in Embedded field where we will learn programming from basics and learn to program a 32 bit Microcontroller. The mentors are best and give equal attention to everyone. I'd like to thank all the mentors and placement team. I strongly recommend Emertxe if anyone wants to pursue their career in Embedded domain

Hi everyone, I completed my Btech from College of Engineering Bhubaneswar in the year 2015 and i had an experience of 6 years in Electrical construction and maintenance beside this I always wanted to switch my career finally in the year 2022, i decided to join Embedded Systems Course (Online) of Emertxe, i enrolled for course demo and felt very positive about it, their motivations really charged me up and then i decided to get into it with full potential. They have very good support and learning environment, all staff and mentors are really helpful, i just followed the path with full dedication from first day and here I am today, i was able to switch my career to Embedded Systems, I got placed in Neominds Software today. I really thank the whole team of Emertxe for making this happen.If you want a career in Embedded or IOT then this is the institute you were looking for. They provide numerous placement opportunities for 2 years for everyone irrespective of YOP and acedamic percentage.One small suggestion for everyone would be to follow the mentors from day-1, be regular and complete all the assignments the day they provide and then believe me nothing can stop you.All the very best for a bright future. 🙂

Emertxe student performance was Excellent

Our interview rounds were extremely rigorous. Emertxe students performance was excellent during all 3 rounds of F2F interviews. Though they have 6 months training background, interviewers mentioned that their performance was equivalent to 30 months experienced engineers. This immensely saved ramp up time of the team. Emertxe approach of focusing on the core knowledge along with the attitude-transformation is commendable. Looking forward for long term association with Emertxe.

Have Good grasp over the subjects

Our company SHARP Software Development India Pvt Ltd. is a division of SHARP Corporation, Japan and a CMMI Level 5 organization. We are front-runners in the printer products and hence strongly rely on embedded programming. We had some fresher openings in Embedded Systems. Thus, during research we came across Emertxe institute and it proved to be very fruitful as we hired candidates from here. These candidates had a good grasp over the subject expertise they underwent during their course under Emertxe and are proving to be a valuable asset till date. We wish this institute to keep evolving and adapting to the future technological trend and be producing good candidates like always, every year. This immensely saved ramp up time of the team. Emertxe approach of focusing on the core knowledge along with the attitude-transformation is commendable. Looking forward for long term association with Emertxe.

Substantial Contributions by Emertxe Students

Thanks team Emertxe for providing us with good quality candidates to fill important positions at NXP over the last couple of years. The engineers who joined different teams ramped up quickly and are making substantial contributions in Dev, Test and Tools teams. This was possible only because of high quality training (with emphasis on fundamentals) that was imparted to engineers during their stint, while undergoing embedded systems course at Emertxe.
